muscle
• in culture, hindlimb myoblasts show a reduced fusion index
|
• relative lack of large myofibers and more small myofibers in the diaphragm and gastrocnemius muscles resulting in a decrease in mean fiber size
|
• at 14 days post cardiotoxin-induced injury, a significant reduction in the average number of nuclei is seen in regenerating myofibers
• at 28 days post injury, cross sectional area of regenerating myofibers is reduced
|
behavior/neurological
• mice show a significant reduction in grip strength relative to wild-type controls
|
cellular
• in culture, hindlimb myoblasts show a reduced fusion index
