Figure Lengend Snippet: ( A ) Dystrophin, nNOS, and alpha-sarcoglycan immunohistochemistry of tibialis anterior (TA) in wild-type (WT), d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice, at the age of 1 and 3 months. ( B ) Western blot analysis for dystrophin in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice, at the ages of 1 and 3 months. ( C ) Western blot analysis for dystrophin-homolog utrophin in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice, at the ages of 1 and 3 months. ( D ) Western blot analysis for nNOS in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice, at the ages of 1 and 3 months. ( E ) Relative Dp427 protein levels (normalized by total protein band intensity) in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice ( n = 3). ( F ) Relative Up395 protein levels (normalized by total protein band intensity) in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice ( n = 3). ( G ) Relative nNOS protein levels (normalized by total protein band intensity) in WT, d45–48, d45–47, d45–49, and mdx mice ( n = 3). Bar: mean ± SD; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Scale bar means 100 µm.
