Fig. 1From: iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis of myofibrillar contents and relevant synthesis and proteolytic proteins in soleus muscle of hibernating Daurian ground squirrels (Spermophilus dauricus)Body weight (a) and soleus muscle wet weight (b) of Daurian ground squirrels in pre-hibernation, 60-d and post-hibernation groups. Representative images (c) and bar graph (d) showing the changes in cross-sectional area of soleus muscle from 3 groups. White represents the anti-laminin stain of interstitial tissue counterstained with DAPI (blue) for nuclei identifcation. Scale bar = 50 μm. Values are means ± SEM, n = 6 in each group. **P < 0.01 versus pre-hibernation groupBack to article page
