The muscle releases EVs ex vivo, and the release of EVs is elevated with disuse atrophy. A Size distribution of EVs collected in KHB measured by NTA. B Concentration of EVs in the KHB after incubation of a rat soleus muscle excised from WB (n = 7), HS 4 h (n = 4), HS 24 h (n = 4), and HS 7 days (n = 5) rats. *p < 0.05 compared with WB
