Fore limb grip strength of untreated C57, untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx mice.

<p>Data are presented as both force normalised to body weight (A) and total force (B). Symbols for significant differences (p<0.05) are- * = between untreated mdx and C57, $ = between untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx and # between taurine treated mdx and C57. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and n = C57 (9), mdx (10) and taurine treated (8).</p

Force frequency curves of untreated C57, untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx EDL muscles.

<p>Isometric force produced at frequencies from 5–150 Hz was plotted for both specific force (A) and total force (B). Symbols for significant differences (p<0.05) are- * = between untreated mdx and C57, $ = between untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx and # between taurine treated mdx and C57. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and n = C57 (7), mdx (9) and taurine treated (7).</p

Phenotypic data of untreated C57, untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx, including body and liver and quad and EDL weight (wt), tibia length and EDL cross sectional area (CSA).

<p><b>Liver content (A) and activity (B) of cysteine dioxygenase, content of cysteine sulfinate (C) and cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase (D) in untreated C57, untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx mice.</b> CD = cysteine dioxygeasne, CS = cysteine sulfinate, CSD = cysteine sulfinate decarboxylase. Symbols for significant differences (p<0.05) are- * = between untreated mdx and C57, $ = between untreated mdx and taurine treated mdx and # between taurine treated mdx and C57. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and n = C57 (8), mdx (8) and taurine treated (8). Representative blots are shown, proteins were standardised to total protein using stain-free gels. From the same stain-free gel image, the loading of albumin is shown.</p
