Total genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from the skeletal muscle using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions [18]. The extracted gDNA was quantified using Nanodrop (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The extracted DNA had a concentration of 40 ng/µL, while the purity range was in the ratio of 1.8–2.0 at A260/A280. Electrophoretic analysis in 1% agarose gel was performed to verify DNA integrity.
