Effect of Oenothera odorata Root Extract on Microgravity and Disuse-Induced Muscle Atrophy

Figure 5

Effects of EVP on disuse muscle atrophy by sciatic denervation in mice. Measurement to GM and SM of sciatic denervated mice using micro-CT. Images of GM and SM in sciatic denervated mice () were acquired at 21 days after the induced muscle atrophy. For evaluation of GM and SM volume, three-dimensional (3D) and two-dimensional (2D) reconstructed images were analyzed using CT-Analyzer 1.11 in control, sciatic denervated, and EVP groups. Each value represents the mean (±SD) from five mice. versus sciatic denervation alone.
