Figure 4a. Muscle fiber cross-sections of the flexor carpi ularis obtained from NW, wr/wr and wr/wr(N) mice at 9 weeks of age.

A: Cross section of muscle fibers of the flexor carpi ulnaris (muscle midpoint) of a wr/+ animal given 1% L-alanine for 9 weeks (63 dpn).

B: Cross section of muscle fibers of the flexor carpi ulnaris (muscle midpoint) of a wr/wr animal given 1% L-alanine for 9 weeks (63 dpn).

C: Cross section of muscle fibers of the flexor carpi ulnaris (muscle midpoint) of a wr/wr animal given 1% N-acetyl cysteine for 9 weeks (63 dpn).
