Satellite cell density of GM, TFL, VL and RF in affected limb of HOA patients. a Representative immunofluorescence images of Pax7 (violet), Hoechst (blue) and Laminin (white). Yellow arrowheads indicate satellite cells (Hoechst-positive, Pax7-positive nuclei). Scale bars, 50 µm. b Satellite cell density. Data are presented as mean and standard deviation and were analyzed using repeated-measures one-way ANOVA and Dunnett’s post-hoc test. GM, gluteus minimus; HOA, hip osteoarthritis; RF, rectus femoris; TFL, tensor fascia latae; VL, vastus lateralis
