Effects of ECE or DK on recovering muscle strength by reducing pyroptosis in the gastrocnemius muscle of the Dexa-induced muscle atrophy model. (a) Representative image of H&E stained cross-sections of the gastrocnemius muscle. (b) The mean muscle fiber CSA was decreased by Dexa but increased by ECE and DK. (c) Grip strength in the study groups before sacrifice. Grip strength was decreased by Dexa but increased by ECE and DK. (d) Summary. The dose unit of ECE and DK is mg/kg/day. a–d: Different letters indicate significant differences among groups as determined by multiple comparison (Mann–Whitney U test); p < 0.05. CSA, cross-sectional area; Dexa, dexamethasone; DK, dieckol; ECE, Ecklonia cava extract.
