Percent change in gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle weight 4 days (a) and 14 days (b) after denervation surgery. To examine the effect of denervation on the gastrocnemius muscle, the sciatic nerve in the left hind limb was excised (denervated side (DEN)), and the right hind limb was subjected to a sham operation (control side (CON)). The wet weight of the gastrocnemius muscle was measured on days 4 (a) and 14 (b) following surgery. The effect of denervation on muscle weight was determined by comparing DEN with CON. In each group at each time point, the DEN muscle weight was significantly lower than the CON muscle weight. At each time point, the percent change from CON to DEN samples was significantly different between groups. †, significant differences between DEN and CON within the same group (p < 0.05, n = 6). * and ***, the percent change (DEN/CON) was significantly different between the WT-Tg and Hspg2−/−-Tg mice (* p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001, n = 6). Values are expressed as the mean ± SD.
