  1. Abbreviations: n, sample size. WT, wild-type. BW, body weight. g, grams. mm, millimeter. TA, tibialis anterior. Gastroc, gastrocnemius.
  2. 1Entries are given as the mean ± standard error of the mean.
  3. *For WT there were 8 males and 5 females, for Pus1−/− there were 4 males and 5 females. A body weight for a female Pus1−/− mouse was not taken at sacrifice (n = 1); therefore, data for 8 mice are presented in Table 3. A total of 9 mice were used throughout all other measures.
