Abstract excerpt
The impact of a targeted disruption of the Igf1 gene, encoding the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), on diaphragm (DIA) cellularity was studied in 2-mo-old homozygous mutant [IGF-I(-/-)] mice and their wild-type [WT; i.e., IGF-I(+/+)] littermates. DIA fiber types were classified histochemically. DIA fiber cross-sectional areas (CSA) were determined from digitized muscle sections, and fiber succinate...
