Abstract excerpt
Denervation-induced myofiber atrophy can be reversed by reinnervation. Growing reinnervated myofibers upregulate numerous molecules, many of which determine the muscle fiber type. In the present study we aimed at identifying factors that might contribute specifically to myofiber growth after reinnervation. The common peroneal nerve of 15 male Wistar rats was cut and resutured without delay (9 animals) or with a...
