Assessment of intramuscular adipose deposition at the VML defect site. (a) Representative H&E stained muscle cross-sections at the defect by 56 days-post injury. Adipose deposits are indicated by the black arrows. Scale bars = 200 μm. (b) Quantification of intramuscular adipose deposition in VML-injured muscles (n = 4–5 muscles/group). (c) Quantification of PPARɣ protein levels in VML-injured muscles (n = 8–9 muscles/group). Females and males are represented by red and blue markers, respectively. Data are shown as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was determined by two-way ANOVA (P < 0.05). NR = no repair; MMG = minced muscle graft.
