Cross-sectional images of the medial gastrocnemius muscle stained with the NADH-tr technique. CVS: sedentary, control, vegetable protein, VOS: sedentary, ovariectomized, vegetable protein, VOT: trained, ovariectomized, vegetable protein, CAS: sedentary, control, animal protein, AOS: sedentary, ovariectomized, animal protein, and AOT: trained, ovariectomized, animal protein. Arrows indicate the different types of fiber. Red: type I fibers, yellow: type IIA fibers, and green: type IIB fibers. Black arrows indicate interstitium.
