Muscle weakness in a mouse model of nemaline myopathy can be reversed with exercise and reveals a novel myofiber repair mechanism
14 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Patients with the inherited muscle disease nemaline myopathy experience prolonged muscle weakness following periods of immobility. We have examined endurance exercise as a means of improving recovery following muscle inactivity in our alpha-tropomyosin(slow)(Met9Arg)-transgenic mouse model of nemaline myopathy. Physical inactivity, mimicked using a hindlimb immobilization protocol, resulted in fiber atrophy and...
