Schisandrae Fructus Supplementation Ameliorates Sciatic Neurectomy-Induced Muscle Atrophy in Mice

Figure 2

Effects of EESF supplementation on calf thickness changes in mice with NTX-induced muscle atrophy. The thickness of NTX operated hind calf (right side) was measured at NTX, 1 day before the start of administration, first administration, 1, 7, 14, 21, and 27 days, and sacrifice. Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 10 mice. Day −1 means 1 day before the start of administration, at 13 days after NTX surgery. Zero means at the start of administration and at 14 days after NTX. Twenty-eight means 28 days after the start of administration, at sacrifice. as compared with sham control mice by the LSD test. as compared with NTX control mice by the LSD test.
