  1. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. Student’s t test, *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 vs WT. Sample size: rows A and B: 20–30 fibers, 2 micrographs/fiber (22,000 magnification images in transversal sections); rows C and D: 30–45 fibers; 5 micrographs/fiber (28,000 magnification images in transversal sections)
