Recovery of evoked muscle responses is accelerated in AEP KO mice. A, Examples of full wave rectified maximal direct muscle (M) responses to sciatic nerve stimulation recorded from GAST muscles at different times after transection and repair of the sciatic nerve. Traces on the left are from a single WT mouse. Those on the right are from a single AEP KO mouse. B, Maximum amplitude M responses were measured in GAST (left) and TA (right) at different times after sciatic nerve transection and repair. Data were fit with linear least-square regression lines. Regression and correlation coefficients are shown for each fitted line. C, Amplitudes of recorded responses in B were scaled to preinjury values in each mouse and re-plotted. Regression and correlation coefficients are shown for each fitted line.
