Fig 2. Assaying muscle loss by using a muscle-specific antibody (MF20) after the 2-wk assay of tadpoles with TH. (a) Tail of an animal treated with 10 nM T3 for 7 days. Note the loss of muscle fibers and disorganization of the chevron structures. (b) Tail of an untreated animal. (c) Tail of a pCar/TRDNα transgenic animal treated with 10 nM T3 for 7 days. (d–f) In situ hybridization of tail cross sections obtained from animals in a–c, respectively, with collagenase-3 antisense probe. (g–i) Changes in the head of the animals in a–c, respectively, after the 2-wk assay. [Bars = 500 μm (a–c and g–i), 100 μm (d and e), and 50 μm (f).] Image published in: Das B et al.
