Statistical analysis results of muscle-specific measures: terminal muscle mass, mean cross-sectional area (CSA), glycogen, capillary contacts, and citrate synthase.

MUSCLES_STATS

Format

An object of class data.frame with 224 rows and 22 columns:

response

character; the muscle-specific measurement being tested.

age

factor; the age of the rat at the beginning of the training protocol. Levels: "6M" (Adult) and "18M" (Aged).

sex

factor; the sex of the rat with levels "Female" and "Male".

muscle

factor; the muscle that was sampled with levels "LG" (lateral gastrocnemius), "MG" (medial gastrocnemius), "PL" (plantaris), and "SOL" (soleus).

contrast

factor; the comparison between groups. All contrasts are ratios between the trained and SED group means (levels "1W / SED", "2W / SED", "4W / SED", "8W / SED").

estimate_type

character; interpretation of the value in the estimate column. All "ratio" (ratio between group means, as specified by contrast).

null

numeric; the value of the estimate under the null hypothesis.

estimate

numeric; ratio between the means of the groups as specified by contrast.

SE

numeric; the standard error of the estimate.

lower.CL

numeric; lower bound of the 95% confidence interval.

upper.CL

numeric; upper bound of the 95% confidence interval.

statistic_type

character; the type of statistical test. All "t" (Student's t-statistic).

statistic

numeric; the value of the test statistic.

df

numeric; the number of residual degrees of freedom.

p.value

numeric; the p-value associated with the statistical test.

p.adj

numeric; the adjusted p-value.

signif

logical; TRUE if p.adj < 0.05.

model_type

character; the statistical model used for testing. All "lme" (linear mixed effects model).

fixed

character; the fixed-effects component of the model formula. Describes the response variable (and any transformations) and all predictor variables that were included. Equivalent to formula.

random

character; the random component of the model formula. Specifies the random effects for mixed effects models. All "~1 | pid" (random intercept for each rat).

weights

character; if reciprocal group variances were used as weights to account for heteroscedasticity (nonconstant residual variance), this is noted here.

obs_removed

character; if any observations were omitted during the analysis, they are listed here.
