Data are means ± SE. BW, body weight; B6, C57BL/6 mice; ECC, eccentric contraction; LABC, levator ani-bulbocavernosus muscle; MIN, ApcMin/+ mice. A 2-way repeated-measures ANOVA with Student–Newman–Keuls post hoc methods was performed when appropriate. Student’s t test was performed when appropriate. Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05.
