Abstract excerpt
Chronic low frequency stimulation of motor nerves results in transformation of muscle fibre phenotype from fast- to slow-twitch. We examined the light and electron microscopic structure of neuromuscular junctions in normally fast twitch muscles, tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus of rabbit after 3 weeks of stimulation to determine whether synaptic structure is also modified during fibre type...
