Region-specific responses of fiber cross-sectional area in adductor longus muscle to 16 days of hindlimb suspension and ambulation recovery in Wistar Hannover rats. Mean ± SEM; n = 5 in each group/stage. Pre, day 16, and day 32: before hindlimb unloading, immediately after termination of 16-day unloading or cage housing, and 16 days after ambulation on the floor or 32 days of cage housing, respectively. I, II, and I+II: fibers expressing pure type I (slow) and II (fast), and coexpressing both type I and II myosin heavy chain. *, †, and §: p < 0.05 vs. pre, age-matched control, and respective group at day 16, respectively. a: p < 0.05 vs. the rostral region.
