Deleterious impacts of inactivity and beneficial impacts of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on muscle structure and function in the zebrafish model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

2020-09-03

Abstract excerpt

Although it is known that inactivity is deleterious for healthy individuals, less is known about the consequences of inactivity on muscle disease. Reduced activity is frequently encouraged for individuals with congenital muscular dystrophies such as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD). We used the zebrafish dmd mutant and a longitudinal design to elucidate the consequences of inactivity versus activity on muscle he...
