Restorative effects of (−)-epicatechin (Epi) on GWI rat muscle mass and function. Front limb strength recorded weekly (A) and at the final (6 week) recording (B) in control (n = 9), GWI (n = 5) and GWI-Epi (n = 5) rats. (C) Reports on the treadmill test results (time and total distance respectively). (D,E) Illustrate and report on weight recorded for gastrocnemius muscles. *p < 0.05 vs. control, ^p < 0.05 vs. GWI by ANOVA and by t-test.
