Muscle sections were examined by electron or light (for large SR aggregates) microscopy. Hindlimb indicates muscle biopsies containing a mixture of soleus and EDL. Data presented are the total number of positive cells/number of cells examined. *, P < 0.005 versus young wt for percentage values. n, number of mice examined.
