Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that metabolic adaptations to muscle inactivity are most pronounced when neurotrophic influence is disrupted. In rat diaphragm muscle (Dia(m)), 2 wk of unilateral denervation or tetrodotoxin nerve blockade resulted in a reduction in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity of type I...
