Comparisons of muscle fiber staining of biceps femoris between wild-type and transgenic mice. Mice were sacrificed at 2.5 months and 12 months of age. Biceps femoral muscle samples were used for this study, and samples were frozen-sectioned. Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining of both wild-type (A, C, E, G, I, K) and transgenic muscle samples (B, D, F, H, J, L) shows the myofiber size and nuclei. Panels of C, D, G, H was longitudinally sectioned to show myofiber nuclei. Wild-type mice (C and G) in young and adult ages maintained relative less myofiber nuclei while transgnic mice (D and D) showed accumulative nuclei. Arrows point the formation of myoblast nuclei (J, L) of transgenic mice in adult age from satellite cells and myofiber fusions in comparisons with wild-type mice (I, K).
