Figure 4From: Early changes in muscle atrophy and muscle fiber type conversion after spinal cord transection and peripheral nerve transection in ratsImmunofluorescent staining for the slow myosin heavy chain (sMHC). The red muscle fibers on the cross-sectional area were positive for sMHC antibody. For the soleus muscle the percentage of positive area in the spinal cord transection group was significantly less than that in the sciatic nerve transection group.Back to article page
