(A) Expression of collagen types I, type III, TGF-β s and β-actin mRNA in adjacent muscle and contraction band in 5 of the GMC patients by RT-PCR. (B) Densitometry of mRNA levels of collagen types I, III and TGF-β s in contraction band and adjacent muscle (fold change). The results are shown relative mRNA level of collagen types I, type III, and TGF-β s in contraction band compared with adjacent muscle in 23 GMC patients.
