Hyperbaric Oxygen Exposure Reduces Age-Related Decrease in Oxidative Capacity of the Tibialis Anterior Muscle in Mice

Figure 4

Cross-sectional areas of type IIA (a) and type IIB (b) fibers in the tibialis anterior muscles of the normobaric and hyperbaric groups at different ages. Data are represented as the mean and standard deviation determined from six animals. The mice in the hyperbaric group were exposed to 36% oxygen at 950 mmHg for 6 hours per day for 2 weeks. CSA: cross-sectional area. compared with the corresponding groups at 7 and 90 weeks.
