Caption Histological evidence of myopathy in 8-10-month-old Apobec2tm1Msn/Apobec2tm1Msn (A2-/-) mice. A, examples of a region of soleus muscle (SL) in 15-week-old wild-type (WT) or mutant mice. The arrowheads indicate fibers with centrally located nuclei, and the right panel shows a region with immature myotubes. B, comparison of transverse sections of vastus and rectus femoris (VRL), gastrocnemius (GT), and extensorum digitorum longus (EDL) muscle from 9-month-old mutant and WT mice. The boxed areas in the middle panels are shown in higher magnification in the right panels, where outlined regions contain smaller fibers. C, histogram comparing the percentage of centrally nucleated fibers (CNF) in different muscles from 9-month-old mutant and control mice.
