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

Figure 5

Effects of EESF supplementation on changes in calf muscle strengths in mice with NTX-induced muscle atrophy mice. At 1 hr after the last 28th administration of vehicle, oxymetholone, or EESF, calf muscle strengths of individual mice were measured as tensile strengths using a computerized testing machine in Newton (N). Values are expressed as mean ± S.D. of 10 mice ( = Newton). as compared with sham control mice by the LSD test. as compared with NTX control mice by the LSD test.
