Effect of CP on histological features and cross-sectional area (CSA) of muscle fibers. (A) Representative H&E-stained images of calf muscles from each group. The arrow indicates a muscle fiber cell. Scale bar = 200 μm. (B) CSA of calf muscle myofibers. Quantified data are presented as a relative percentage of the control. (C) Quantification of fibers with centrally located nuclei. The data in (B,C) are presented as the means ± SD. This experiment was performed with ten mice per group. # p < 0.05, DEX vs. control. * p < 0.05, DEX + CP (0.25 or 0.5) vs. DEX; CP, collagen peptides; DEX, dexamethasone.
