Summary of the whole cell t-tubular density in control and R6/2 muscle fibers. Values shown as mean ± SD; n = control (five mice and 13 fibers) and R6/2 (five mice and 13 fibers). AU, arbitrary units; TTint, t-tubule integrity.

a

Mann–Whitney.

b

n = control (seven fibers) and R6/2 (four fibers).
