Adaptations in skeletal muscle disuse or decreased-use atrophy.

Abstract excerpt

Those factors that seem to play some role in inducing adaptations of skeletal muscle in vivo are discussed. The role of myogenesis in maintaining and repairing muscle during atrophic and hypertrophic states is discussed, including pointing out that the modulation of myonuclear number is one means of adapting to varying chronic levels of neuromuscular activity. Finally, we point out the potential consequences of...
