Abstract excerpt
A suspension of monoaminergic embryonic neurons was transplanted into the spinal cord of paraplegic rats. Enzyme histochemical, morphometric, and biochemical analyses of the hindlimb musculature were carried out 2-5 months later to determine the consequences on muscle atrophy and muscle phenotype...
