From: Low-frequency electrical stimulation of bilateral hind legs by belt electrodes is effective for preventing denervation-induced atrophies in multiple skeletal muscle groups in rats

Figure 5

PGC-1α (a), COXIV (b), and CS activity (c) of TA and GAS after chronic belt electrode chronic stimulation. Mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA test was used to evaluate changes in PGC-1α and COXIV levels and CS activity in the lower limb muscles 24 h after chronic stimulation with a belt electrode. CONT unstimulated control group, DEN denervation muscle atrophy induced group, DEN + ES denervation muscle atrophy induced + electrical stimulation with belt electrode group; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. All samples were derived from the same experiment and the gels/blots were processed in parallel. All blots are listed in the Supplementary Information.
