Abstract excerpt
Mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle was subjected to a dose of gamma irradiation that causes reproductive death of satellite cells and/or to chronic compensatory overload, achieved by removal of the distal portion of the tibialis anterior muscle. Four weeks later the mass, fiber type percentage, and fiber size of the EDL muscle were measured. Both the irradiated + overloaded and the irradiated only EDL...
