Figure 7: Histological analysis of quadriceps fiber properties 2 weeks post-fracture.

Figure 7:

(A) Representative Image of individual muscle fiber with stain for laminin and example of minimum Feret diameter and fiber cross-sectional area measurements. (B, C) Differences in minimum Feret diameter and intra-individual variance in Feret diameter. Minimum Feret diameter and intra-individual variance is significantly lower in fracture muscle compared to control and contralateral quadriceps, but there is no difference between sexes. (D, E) Differences in fiber cross-sectional area and intra-individual variance in fiber cross-sectional area. Fiber cross-sectional area and intra-individual variance is lower in fracture muscle compared to control and contralateral quadriceps, but there is no difference between sexes.
