Fig. 5. Effects of L. rhamnosus JY02 on dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy in mice. (A) Schematic of experimental schedules. (B) Body weight changes in each group. (C) Pictures of the quadriceps (QD) and gastrocnemius (GC) muscles in each group. (D) Lean body mass (E) Grip strength measurement for muscle function evaluation. (F) The weight of the total muscle tissue (quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle). (H) Measurement of quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle mass. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD. *p < 0.01 vs. Normal control, #p < 0.01 vs. DEX control.
