Effect of ADSCs treatment in improving skeletal muscle functions and regulating muscle fibre types. A Hindlimb grip strength were measured at 7 days after ADSCs treatment with or without normalised by whole body weight. n = 6 per group. B Treadmill fatigue were measured 6 days after ADSCs treatment. n = 3 per group. C–F Ex vivo GA muscle contraction test. n = 5 per group. Peak tetanic fore and twitch fore with or without normalised by GA muscle CSA C Half-relaxation time (D). GA muscle fatigability normalised by prefatigued developed tension (E). Contraction force of GA muscle after 5 min and 10 min of fatigue (F). n = 6 per group. Statistical analysis are performed using one-way ANOVA test, with significance set at P < 0.05 (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.005, #P < 0.001)
