Caveolin-1(-/-)- and caveolin-2(-/-)-deficient mice both display numerous skeletal muscle abnormalities, with tubular aggregate formation

Here, we examine the role of "non-muscle" caveolins (Cav-1 and Cav-2) in skeletal muscle biology. Our results indicate that skeletal muscle fibers from male Cav-1(-/-) and Cav-2(-/-) mice show striking abnormalities, such as tubular aggregates, mitochondrial proliferation/aggregation, and...
