We used magnetic resonance imaging (EchoMRI, Houston, TX) to measure lean and fat body mass to determine if increased exercise capacity in ASIC1a−/− mice was due to a greater absolute or relative lean muscle mass. EchoMRI has been used previously to measure whole body composition in rodents (Nixon et al. 2010; Galgani et al. 2011).
