Abstract excerpt
This study has been designed to find an easy method to evaluate the motor unit alterations induced during experimental T. cruzi infections. Different mouse strains infected with three strains of T. cruzi were used to perform conventional needle electromyography, in one of the lower limb hamstring muscles; amplitude, duration and number of phases of single motor unit potentials were measured. The following...
