Muscle fiber size (100 fibers/mouse) was quantified from proximal hind limb muscle of AR113Q (red, n = 6) or AR113Q, Beclin-1 +/− (blue, n = 6) mice at 16 wks. Left panel shows fiber size distribution, and right panel shows relative fiber cross sectional area (mean +/− SEM). Left panel, p<0.0001 by Mann-Whitney test. Right panel, p<0.0001 by Student's t test. B. AR expression in skeletal muscle of 16 wk mice was assessed by western blot. GAPDH controls for loading. Right panel shows quantification of signal relative to GAPDH (mean +/− SEM). Differences not significant (n. s.).
