Figure 2: Cross-section comparison of regenerating muscles 2 weeks after mild injury

Caption

Left: Cross-section of muscles two weeks after injury. The muscle from the animal on the left received no treatment while the muscle on the right received icing treatment. Right: Comparison of cross-sectional area of regenerating myofibers. 2 weeks after mild muscle injury, the cross-sectional area of regenerating myofibers was significantly larger for muscles that were iced (black bar) than for muscles that received no treatment (white bar).
