(A) Gene expression as related to hindlimb suppression and EA effect. Realtimequantitative PCR analysis of expression for Mstn , MuRF-1, and MAFbx genes in WT,HS, and EA/HS mice. Relative transcript levels are shown (means ± SD).
(B) Changes in myofibre diameters after EA. The effect of EA on prevention of muscle atrophy was10 shown by changes in myofibre diameters in three groups. Open circle, WT mice; closed squares, HS mice; open squares, EA/HS mice. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.005.
