Real-time PCR assessment of myosin heavy chain 1 (MHC IIX) isoform specific mRNA. (A) MHC IIX mRNA expression in the quadriceps muscle of guinea pigs aged between 2 and 7 months. Data are mean expression units + SEM normalised to total first strand cDNA concentration; n = 6; * denotes P <0.05. (B) Linear regression analysis depicting the relationship between MHC IIX mRNA expression (y-axis) and total histological grade (x-axis) in guinea pigs at 3 months of age; n = 6. (C) Linear regression analysis depicting the relationship between MHC IIX mRNA expression (y-axis) and total histological grade (x-axis) in guinea pigs aged between 2 and 7 months; N = 24.
