Effect of different transection models on TA muscle histology, muscle mass, and quantitative measurements of the muscle fibers. (a) Representative images of TA muscle cross sections stained with H&E. Scale bar, 50 µm (at lower right corner); magnification 20 ×. (b) TA muscle mass as % of left side, n = 10–12/group; CSA of TA muscle as µm², n = 3/group; and MFD of TA muscle as µm, n = 3/group. ***P < 0.001 vs. CTL, ^###P < 0.001 vs. ST, ^$$P < 0.01, ^$$$P < 0.001 vs. TG, and ^ƒƒƒP < 0.001 vs. SU.
