muscle
• while fibril distribution is still unimodal at P4 the distribution width is increased and there is a shift towards larger fibrils
• at P60, tendons have a prominent subpopulation of large diameter fibrils not seen in wild-type controls
|
• significant reduction in flexor digitorum longus maximum load and modulus at P7
• however, no difference in tendon biomechanical properties is seen at P60
|
• in the flexor digitorum longus at P7
