BMP-1/mTLD and TLL1 mRNA levels in the TA and SOL muscles in response to hindlimb suspension. a TA BMP-1/mTLD mRNA levels, b TA TLL1 mRNA levels, c SOL BMP-1/mTLD mRNA levels, d SOL TLL1 mRNA levels relative to β-actin in unsuspended (control) and 3-day hindlimb suspended (suspended) mice. Expression of TLL1 mRNA was significantly up-regulated in suspended TA but not SOL relative to unsuspended control values and BMP-1/mTLD was not affected in either muscle. All results are reported as mean ± SEM of mRNA levels normalized to those of β-actin and relative to the unsuspended control. Asterisk significantly different from unsuspended control, p < 0.05.
