  1. Mean ± SD of fiber percentage areas with peripheral nucleus (%PN), central nucleus (%CN), and areas of fibrosis (%FIB) in the tongue of the young and old mdx and wild-type groups. There were no differences found for areas of %PN, %CN, and %FIB between the four groups (two-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s post hoc test, p > 0.05)
