Figure 1. FEYE promotes muscle growth. (A, B) After the mice are fed with FEYE by gavage for 24 d, compared with Sham group, the body weight (BW) of mice in the FEYE group increases more significantly (A), and the weight gain in the FEYE group is higher (B) (n = 6/group); (C) Comparison of dry weight and wet weight of soleus muscle (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) in mice between two groups on 24 d (n = 6/group); (D) FEYE promotes mouse gastrocnemius development; (E) Muscle fiber area analysis and muscle fiber size distribution of mice gastrocnemius muscle; (Bar = 100 μm); *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
