TEM samples from FDB muscle of three pairs for control vs. EtOH-fed animals, 21,000× images, from at least three fibers and a total of 32 measurements per sample, mean ± SE. *, P < 0.03; **, P < 0.006. Calcium signaling: amplitude of one Ca2+ transient triggered by field stimulation (100 Hz, 500 ms, 2-ms/pulse), mean ± SE.
