MicroRNA analysis. MicroRNAs predicted to influence neurotrophins: a BDNF (miR-206-3p, miR-10a-5p, miR-1b, miR-195-5p and miR-497-5p), b NT3 (miR-21-5p, miR-222-3p and miR-221-3p), and c NGF (let-7b-5p and miR-98-5p) were quantified by qPCR analysis in YA (n = 8) vs VO (n = 10) rat vastus lateralis muscle and WT (n = 8) vs Sarco (n = 7) gastrocnemius muscle. miR-191a-5p was used as endogenous control. Data are shown as means with standard error. T tests were performed. *P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant
