Body weight, muscle mass, muscle fibre cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle function in the experimental groups. a Body weight changes. b Weights of quadriceps (Quad), gastrocnemius (Gastroc), tibialis anterior (TA) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles normalised by tibia length. c Cross sections of tibialis anterior (TA) muscle stained with haematoxylin and eosin (HE). Scale bar 50 μm. d Muscle fibre CSA (mm2) of TA muscle. e Grip power. d Running distance. Results are presented as the mean ± SD, n = 6 per group. Mean value was significantly different from that of the sham group: *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Mean value was significantly different from that of the NPD group: †P < 0.05, ††P < 0.01. Mean value was significantly different from that of the LPD group: ‡P < 0.05. Sham, normal-protein diet; NPD, normal-protein diet; LPD, low-protein diet; LPD + KA, low-protein diet supplemented with ketoacids
