Figure 5. A slow fiber type switch in regenerating Hq muscles.

Figure 5

Quantification of fibers expressing type I, type II, embryonic and neonatal MyHC in WT and Hq soleus (A, C, E, G) and EDL (B, D, F, H) muscles 3 (A, B), 5 (C, D), 10 (E, F) and 20 (G, H) days following cardiotoxin injury indicates a slow fiber type switch and an increase in immature regenerating myofibers in Hq mice, the latter corroborating the delay in skeletal muscle regeneration of Hq mice. * indicates P<0.05 vs WT.
