<p><b>Effect of treatments on body weight.</b> (<b>A</b>) <i>mdx</i> mice received no treatment (N = 84, 83, and 44) or GC treatment (N = 92, 89, and 38) for 50, 100, or 180 days, respectively, *** p = <0.001. (<b>B</b>) Comparison of the % rate change in body weight of untreated and GC-treated mice at 50, 100, and 180 days. The rate at which body weight changed was established in the first 50 days, when the change occurred in the untreated mice at a much faster rate (<0.0001). The rate remained greater than that for the treated mice, but the change over time was the same for both groups. Error bars indicate mean+/- SEM.
