Fig. 4. Expression patterns of MHC protein and mRNA isoforms (A) SDS-PAGE (7.5%) of
MHC isoforms of soleus (SOL) and plantaris (PL) from CONT and CBR rats. (B)
Relative amounts of MHC protein isoforms in SOL and PL muscles from CONT and
CBR rats. Each isoform was expressed as a percentage of total MHC isoforms.
(C) Relative amounts of MHC mRNA isoforms in SOL and PL muscles from CONT and
CBR rats. The absolute MHC mRNA isoforms were obtained by RTPCR and
expressed as percentages of total mRNA isoforms. *Significantly
different from CONT (P<0.05). Values are means ±
S.E.M.; invisible error bars are compressed in the histogram
thickness.
