Experimental design scheme. The animals were divided into non-treated (control) and DEX-treated groups. Intramuscular DEX administration (0.2 mg/kg/day/animal) was started 14 days prior to muscle injury and was continued post-injury. On the 15th day (day 0) of the experiment, BPVC-induced muscle injury was induced. On the subsequent days after the injury, the animals were sacrificed (three gilts/group/experimental day), and muscle samples were collected for evaluation
