Figure 1

Correlation between lipid contents and T2 relaxation times in the quadriceps muscles of aging SD rats. (a) Lipid contents in the right and left quadriceps muscles of 21-month-old rats are shown as the of independent animals. (b) Maximum cross-sectional T2 relaxation times of the right and left quadriceps muscles of 21-month-old rats are shown as the of 12 CD-fed and 6 HFD-fed males (dashed and solid gray bars, respectively), as well as 5 CD-fed and 6 HFD-fed females (dotted and solid black bars, respectively). Statistical significance was determined using two-way ANOVA and is denoted by for , for , and for .
