Abstract excerpt
BUF/Mna strain rats spontaneously develop slowly progressing mild-moderate muscle atrophy of extensor digitorum longus, tibialis, and extraocular muscles, which consist mainly of fast-twitch type fibers, at nearly 100% incidence. They have lighter extensor digitorum longus muscles than soleus muscles, when alive for more than 6 weeks. Genetic segregation of the development of the muscle atrophy was studied by...
