Tissue ratio | Dox(−) vehicle (N = 7) | Dox(−) ibudilast (N = 7) | Dox(+) vehicle (N = 7) | Dox(+) ibudilast (N = 7) |
---|---|---|---|---|
GM/TL (mg·mm−1) | 8.4 ± 0.3 | 8.5 ± 0.3 | 7.0 ± 0.2* | 8.0 ± 0.2# |
GM/BW (mg·g−1) | 6.1 ± 0.2 | 6.6 ± 0.2 | 6.0 ± 0.2 | 6.5 ± 0.2 |
SOL/TL (mg·mm−1) | 0.64 ± 0.03 | 0.68 ± 0.04 | 0.52 ± 0.04* | 0.62 ± 0.03 |
SOL/BW (mg·g−1) | 0.47 ± 0.02 | 0.53 ± 0.03 | 0.45 ± 0.03 | 0.50 ± 0.02 |
EDL/TL (mg·mm−1) | 0.78 ± 0.04 | 0.76 ± 0.03 | 0.61 ± 0.01* | 0.71 ± 0.04 |
EDL/BW (mg·g−1) | 0.57 ± 0.03 | 0.59 ± 0.03 | 0.52 ± 0.02 | 0.57 ± 0.03 |
Tissue ratios are as follows: GM/TL; gastrocnemius weight/tibial length, GM/BW; gastrocnemius weight / body weight, SOL/TL; soleus weight / tibial length, SOL/BW; soleus weight / body weight, EDL/TL; extensor digitorum longus weight / tibial length, EDL/BW; extensor digitorum longus weight / body weight. Data are shown as the mean ± SEM.
P < .05, significantly different from Dox(−) vehicle.
P < .05, significantly different from Dox(+) vehicle; two‐way ANOVA followed Sidak's comparison test.
