Altered Biomechanical Properties of Gastrocnemius Tendons of Turkeys Infected with Turkey Arthritis Reovirus

Figure 3

Stress/strain curves. (a) Stress/strain curve in 16-week-old turkey. (b) Stress/strain curves of median infected versus noninfected control (16 weeks of age): the blue curve with higher peak of stress refers to the median value of tensile stress in control birds and the green curve with lower peak of stress refers to the median value of tensile strength in infected birds. Unit of measurement in megapascals (MPa).
