Figure 1. (IMAGE) Maximum Academic Press Caption (a) The percentage weight change in muscle blocks measured each day over a 7-d period of immersion in 3% NaCl solution, with two treatments; maintenance of the same saline solution throughout (no change of saline), and replacement of the saline each day with fresh, pre-chilled, 3% NaCl solution. Values shown are means ± standard errors. (b) Concentration of protein in the two saline baths (change and no change) on each day, measured just before replacement of the saline in the 'change' case. Each point is the mean of two determinations. Summed change is the cumulative concentration of protein in the salines of the treatment with daily changes of solution.
