From: Ubiquitous Gasp1 overexpression in mice leads mainly to a hypermuscular phenotype
Effects of Gasp1 overexpression in skeletal muscle. Increased skeletal muscle mass in surGasp1-06 [heterozygote (C, D), homozygote (E, F)] mice or surGasp1-20 animals [heterozygote (G, H), homozygote (I, J)] compared to wildtype littermates (A, B). Top panels: pectoral muscles; bottom panels: lower limb. (K) Muscle weight. Muscles of 12-week-old mice were carefully dissected and weighed. Wild-type (dark grey) n = 36; heterozygotes surGasp1-20 (light grey) n = 27; homozygotes surGasp1-20 (grey) n = 18. Values are means ± SEM. * : p < 0.05; ** : p < 0.01; and *** : p < 0.001.
