Apoptosis of myofibres and satellite cells: exercise‐induced damage in skeletal muscle of the mouse

Abstract excerpt

Apoptosis is well accepted as a type of cell death occurring in the development of mammalian muscles, but the death of adult myofibres in neuromuscular disorders and exercise-induced muscle damage is usually explained in terms of muscle necrosis. The current view that apoptosis precedes necrosis in death of dystrophin-deficient muscle fibres of mdx mouse has been well substantiated. Moreover, apoptotic myonuclei...
