Abstract excerpt
Chronic electrical stimulation of skeletal muscle at 10 Hz induces fast-to-slow fiber type transformation. Does a lower aggregate amount of activity lead to a less complete transformation, or does it produce the same transformation over a longer time course? We examined this question by subjecting adult rabbit tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles to continuous stimulation at 2.5 Hz for 2-12 wk....
