From: Transgenic overexpression of γ-cytoplasmic actin protects against eccentric contraction-induced force loss in mdx mice

Figure 3

γ-cytoplasmic actin overexpression in mdx mice attenuates force loss during eccentric contractions. Eccentric contractions were performed ex vivo in isolated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles from mdx and mdx-TG mice at one and four months of age. (A) Force loss expressed as a percentage of initial eccentric force in four-month-old mice. (B) Eccentric force generation at each contraction in four-month-old mice. (C) Force loss in one-month-old mice. (D) Postinjury functional analyses of one-month-old mice. Data are means ± SEM. *Statistically significant difference from mdx mice.
