From: FGFR1 inhibits skeletal muscle atrophy associated with hindlimb suspension
Overexpression of FGFR1 inhibits muscle atrophy. Cross-sectional area (CSA) of fibers from gastrocnemius muscles of mice transfected with either control (control) or FGFR1 expression plasmid DNA (FGFR1), subjected to hindlimb suspension for 7 d (7 d HS), 14 d (14 d HS), reloaded for 7 d after 7 d of hindlimb suspension (7 d reloaded), or non-suspended controls (NS). Means (±SEM) bearing different letters differ significantly (P < 0.05).
