Figure 1.

Effect of CLW on the body weight and grip strength in mice with DEX-induced muscle atrophy. Ex-CON, DW administration by gavage and saline IP injection group; Ex-DEX, DW administration by gavage and DEX (1 mg/body weight/day) IP injection group; Ex-CLW, CLW administration by gavage (1 g/body weight/day) and DEX IP injection group. (A) Body of the DEX-induced muscle after CLW supplementation in each mouse and (B) grip strength/body weight. Data are expressed as mean ± SE for eight mice in each group. Values with different superscripts indicate a significant difference among groups based on Duncan’s multiple range test (p < 0.05). CLW may help prevent the decrease in grip strength due to muscle atrophy.
