Interactions of Aging, Overload, and Creatine Supplementation in Rat Plantaris Muscle

Table 3

Plantaris muscle weight and muscle weight/body weight ratio for young and aging animals.

	Young		Aging
	Plantaris Wt (g)	Ratio plantaris	Plantaris Wt (g)	Ratio plantaris
		Wt/Body Wt		Wt/Body Wt
Control	0.236±0.030	0.080±0.011	0.319±0.040^c	0.077±0.009
Creatine	0.255±0.030	0.080±0.009	0.328±0.037^c	0.080±0.009
Overload	0.276±0.050	0.091±0.015	0.358±0.040^c	0.092±0.010^b
Overload + creatine	0.308±0.019^a	0.102±0.003^b	0.375±0.037^ac	0.098±0.008^b

Data presented as Mean ± SD. ^a𝑃<0.05, heavier than control or creatine groups; ^b𝑃<0.05, higher ratio than control or creatine groups; ^c𝑃<0.05, heavier than same treatment in young.
