From: Myofibrillar protein synthesis rates are increased in chronically exercised skeletal muscle despite decreased anabolic signaling

Figure 3

Muscle cross sections and body characteristics after chronic exposure to eccentric contractions. Gomori trichrome stainings show no obvious change in respect to myofiber size or number, and no change in pathophysiological characteristics such as central nuclei, remodeling fibers, connective tissue infiltration or denervation (A). No change in muscle mass was observed over the 2-week time frame (B). Body weight of the animals remained unchanged over the course of the intervention (C). Data is represented as mean ± SD.
