Peak isometric force is reduced following an eccentric contraction-induced injury protocol. (A) Peak isometric force of EDL muscles from Sham and OVX mice did not differ before (Pre) or after (Post) contractions. (B) Peak isometric force of EDL muscle with and without skeletal muscle estrogen receptor α (ERα) immediately before (Pre) and after (Post) a bout of 10 maximal, high force eccentric contractions was lower in ERα-cKO. Following the last contraction, the Krebs buffer surrounding each muscle was collected as the conditioned media and used in the in vitro bone cell assays. *Significantly different from ERα-cKO.
