Fig. 2. Effect of aestivation on skeletal muscle fibre number and density of the
iliofibularis and sartorius muscles from the green-striped burrowing frog
Cyclorana alboguttata. (A) Total number of fibres within the
iliofibularis and sartorius muscles of control and 9-month aestivator frogs
(N=5 for both groups). (B) Density of fibres mm2
within the iliofibularis and sartorius muscles of control and 9-month
aestivator frogs (N=5 for both groups). The letters a and b indicate
significantly different data sets (P<0.05). Values are means
± s.e.m.
