nervous system
|
• motor neuron axons and nerve terminals are decreased in the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and the degree of NMJ innervation in fast-twitch type muscle is reduced (defined by overlap of AChR and motor neuron axons), indicating a small decrease of the presynaptic area

muscle
| N |
• mice show no gross abnormalities up to 1 year, with normal weights of tibialis anterior and soleus muscles, and normal cross-sectional areas of myofibers in both fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles indicating no major structural abnormalities in skeletal muscle
