The MRL genome does not significantly reduce membrane damage in Sgcg muscle. Evans blue dye uptake is a measure of membrane damage and is represented on the y axis (absorbance/mg). In the quadriceps, triceps, abdominal and gastrocnemius/soleus muscles, membrane damage is not significantly different between Sgcg^D2 animals and intercrossed Sgcg^MRL/D2 animals at both the 8- and 32-week time points. In the gluteus/hamstring muscles, membrane damage is significantly (**p < 0.01) increased at the 32-week time point in intercrossed Sgcg^MRL/D2 animals compared to the 8-week time point.
