Color-coded images as a tool to detect changes in myofibers’ size in pectoral muscle. Color-coded maps were obtained based on the myofibers’ cross-sectional area (from ≤ 1000 to > 4000 μm2). Scale bar represents 500 μm. Examples of images of pectoral muscle biopsies. a Male 54 yo, BMI 31.9, and mean CSA 4574.4 ± 43 μm2. b Male 55 yo, BMI 27.6, and mean CSA 5159.8 ± 42.5 μm2. Characteristics of this set of patients are described in Table 6. Left: original immunofluorescence-stained section. Right: color-coded image. MyHC, myosin heavy chain; yo, years old; BMI, body mass index; CSA, cross-sectional area
