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

Figure 4

Effects of EESF supplementation on changes in gastrocnemius muscle weights in mice with NTX-induced muscle atrophy. After performing gastrocnemius muscle thickness measurement at sacrifice, the gastrocnemius muscle masses were carefully separated from the tibia and fibula bones. Then, weights of individual induced gastrocnemius muscle masses were measured at g levels (absolute wet-weights), and relative weights (% of body weights) were also calculated. Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 10 mice. as compared with sham control mice by the LSD test. as compared with NTX control mice by the LSD test. as compared with sham control mice by the MW test. as compared with NTX control mice by the MW test.
