Abstract excerpt
The objective of this report was to analyse a potential role for FGF6 in muscle resistance to mechanical stress. Normal or regenerating muscles of FGF6 (-/-) mice versus wild-type mice were submitted to different protocols of damaging eccentric contractions (eccentric electrostimulation and intermittent downhill exercise). Then muscular structural properties were analysed by histological and immunochemistry...
