a Mean values and standard deviation of skeletal muscle actin, in diaphragm (white bars) and gastrocnemius (black bars) muscles as measured by optical densities. Statistical significance is represented as follows: n.s.: non-significant and ***p ≤ 0.001 between any of the intervention groups (U and E–U) and control mice. b Mean values and standard deviation of MyHC, in diaphragm (white bars) and gastrocnemius (black bars) muscles as measured by optical densities. Statistical significance is represented as follows: n.s.: non-significant, **p ≤ 0.01, and ***p ≤ 0.001 between any of the intervention groups (U and E–U) and control mice. c Mean values and standard deviation of creatine kinase (CK), in diaphragm (white bars) and gastrocnemius (black bars) muscles as measured by optical densities. Statistical significance is represented as follows: *p ≤ 0.05 and ***p ≤ 0.001 between any of the intervention groups (U and E–U) and control mice. d Mean values and standard deviation of carbonic anhydrase-3, in diaphragm (white bars) and gastrocnemius (black bars) muscles as measured by optical densities. Statistical significance is represented as follows: n.s.: non-significant and ***p ≤ 0.001 between any of the intervention groups (U and E–U) and control mice. a.u. arbitrary units, E–U elastase–urethane, MyHC myosin heavy chain, OD optical densities, U urethane
