Muscle Fiber Type Composition and CSA in Gastrocnemius of C26 Tumor-Bearing Mice

Raw data on muscle fiber type composition and cross-sectional area (CSA) in the gastrocnemius muscle of control and C26 tumor-bearing mice, including both males and females. The dataset was authored by Stavroula Tsitkanou and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on 2026-05-27.

Use Cases

• Compare muscle fiber type proportions between control and tumor-bearing mice based on the described composition data.
• Analyze changes in muscle fiber cross-sectional area (CSA) due to tumor burden based on the CSA data.
• Investigate potential sex differences in muscle fiber characteristics in a cancer cachexia model based on the inclusion of male and female mice.

Strengths

• Data is openly available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• The dataset includes both male and female subjects, allowing for sex-based analysis.
• The file size is 25.3 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
