Chlorella vulgaris Modulates Genes and Muscle-Specific microRNAs Expression to Promote Myoblast Differentiation in Culture

Figure 1

Effects of C. vulgaris treatment on desmin staining on Days 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 of differentiation for young and senescent myoblast. The photomicrographs of desmin staining of C. vulgaris-treated myoblast cells further elucidated differentiation of myoblasts with the presence of multinucleated cells and more formation of myotubes on Day 7 as compared to Day 0 of differentiation. Myoblasts cells were stained green for desmin and blue for nuclei (Magnification: 200x).
