Figure 2From: Effect of age on fatty infiltration of supraspinatus muscle after experimental tendon release in ratsMicro-CT values. The absorption coefficient of the muscle measured by micro-CT in mu (1/mm) as a reciprocal indicator for fatty infiltration was higher in group I (0.93 ± 0.01, aged rats, tenotomy) than group group II (0.89 ± 0.01, young rats, tenotomy) but lower than in group III (0.99 ± 0.05, aged rats, sham surgery).Back to article page
