muscle
• tibialis anterior and quadriceps show increased internally nucleated fibers, with EDLs showing a greater increase
• EDLs show a 1.6% increase in the number of internally nucleated fibers at 6 months and 2.8% increase at 12 months
• however, sarcolemmal and basal membrane integrity appear normal
|
• areas of individual myofibers are increased in muscles of 6 and 20 month old mice, with a greater increase at 20 months
|
• diameter of myofibers is increased in muscles of 6 and 20 month old mice, with no difference in diameter between the two ages
|
• MHC IIB fiber type is higher in 20 month old mice
|
• fibrosis is increased in myofibers of 6 and 20 month old mice, with no difference in the level of fibrosis between the two ages
|
• mice show signs of myopathy at 12, but not 6, months of age, with internally nucleated fibers and evidence of past and ongoing regeneration and fibrosis
