Fig. 9From: Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells ameliorate aging-associated skeletal muscle atrophy and dysfunction by modulating apoptosis and mitochondrial damage in SAMP10 miceEffects of cell treatment on muscle investigated molecules in 36-week-old mice. A–F: The mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF; A,B), toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2; C,D), and cathepsin K (CatK; E,F) in gastrocnemius muscle and soleus muscle were measured by quantitative RT-PCR. Data are mean ± SEM (n = 4–8)Back to article page
