Proliferation rates of isolated SC/MPC populations. Proliferation rates of isolated populations from SM and LD muscles were calculated by using the changes in cell number between passaging (from day 0–4 and day 4–8 after isolation). SP40/50 showed significantly higher proliferation rates between day 0–4, in comparison with mixed P40/70 and SP50/70. The differences in proliferation between SP40/50 and mixed P40/70 disappeared between day 4–8, whereas SP50/70 retained lower proliferation rates than SP40/50 and mixed P40/70. Data are presented as means ± SD, n ≥ 10 animals. Statistical analysis of differences in proliferation was performed with a Kruskal-Wallis One-Way ANOVA on Ranks followed by a pairwise multiple comparison procedure (Dunn’s method), and significant differences are shown (*p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001)
