From: Functional replacement of myostatin with GDF-11 in the germline of mice

 

+/+ (n = 3)

Gdf11/Gdf11 (n = 3)

Total fibers

8295 ± 357

8136 ± 103

Type I fibers

130 ± 12

126 ± 7

Type IIa fibers

1446 ± 57

1540 ± 173

Type IIb fibers

6398 ± 431

6473 ± 405

  1. None of the differences between +/+ and Gdf11/Gdf11 mice are statistically significant
