Declarations

:

: The muscle biopsies from healthy human volunteers were collected as part of another study []. The samples were collected by Prof Stuart Gray, a co-author for both the current and cited study, and the use of these samples in the current study for microscopy analysis was ethically approved by the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences Ethical Committee at the University of Glasgow (Approval No. 200150044). Participants provided written informed consent prior to participation in the original study. No additional ethics approval was required for the current study, as the use of the samples for microscopic analysis falls under the scope of the original ethical approval.Animal work was conducted in the Biological Procedures Unit at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS), University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The animals were housed in cages of up to 4 rats, within the Home Office Code of Practice Stocking Density, on a cycle of 12 h light/12 h dark, with access to standard chow diet and purified water. All animals were handled in strict accordance with good animal practice approved by The Animals in Science Regulation Unit. Each procedure was performed under sterile conditions and adapted by the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory animals published by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH Publication No. 85–23. revised 1996) and Directives 2010/63/EU of the European Parliament.
