Abstract excerpt
In denervated skeletal muscles, atrophy of muscle fibers and interstitial fibrosis are associated with alterations within the vascular bed. Our study has placed particular emphasis on changes occurring in resistance vessels and the microcirculatory bed of rat hindlimb skeletal muscles that had been denervated for 25 months. We found that the tunica media of the majority of long-term denervated resistance vessels...
