muscle
• marker analysis indicates increased myogenic differentiation of primary myoblasts, with increased number of myotubes but decreased myoblast fusion rate as seen by fewer cell nuclei in each myotube
|
• primary myoblasts show decreased myoblast fusion
|
• leg muscle primary myoblasts exhibit a lower proliferation capacity
|
• quadriceps muscle weight is increased
|
• gastrocnemius muscle weight is increased
|
• tibialis anterior muscle weight is increased
|
• mice show a lower mean cross-sectional area of individual myofibers
• mice show a higher proportion of smaller myofibers
|
• mice show a higher number of myofibers/mm2, indicating increased muscle fiber density
• tibialis anterior muscle has a higher total fiber number
|
• at 14 and 18 days following cardiotoxin-induced muscle-injury, mice show faster and increased muscle regeneration compared to controls
• faster muscle-damage repair is mainly attributable to more efficient differentiation of satellite cells
