Implication of satellite cell behaviors in capillary growth via VEGF expression-independent mechanism in response to mechanical loading in HeyL-null mice.

Abstract excerpt

Angiogenesis and muscle satellite cell (SC)-mediated myonuclear accretion are considered essential for the robust response of contraction-induced muscle hypertrophy. Moreover, both myonucleus and SCs are physically adjacent to capillaries and are the major sites for the expression of proangiogenic factors, such as VEGF, in the skeletal muscle. Thus, events involving the addition of new myonuclei via activation of...
