Histological analysis of SOL muscles from 8-week-old Stac3 fl/fl, Stac3 +/fl Tg Cre, and Stac3 fl/fl Tg Cre mice. Cross-sections of SOL muscles were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. a Representative images of stained SOL sections at ×40 and ×400 magnifications. Scale bars: 100 μm for ×40 and 10 μm for ×400. Arrows point to myofibers with centrally located nuclei. b Average number of myofibers per cross-section. This number was not different between genotypes. c Average CSA of myofibers. d Distribution of CSA of myofibers. e Percentage of myofibers containing centralized nuclei. Bars not sharing the same letter labels are different (P < 0.05, n = 4 mice)
