Background: The percentage of satellite cells rapidly decreases in aneurally regenerating soleus muscles of rat. Also denervation of intact muscles causes fiber loss and regeneration, but the fate of satellite cells is ...

The structural alterations that occur in the muscle fibers of denervated rat diaphragms were studied. Fifteen adult male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) with a mean weight of 200 g and about 60 days of age were used. ...

An experimental research was performed in dogs to evaluate the changes in gracilis muscle fibers when this muscle is submitted to denervation sectioning its motor nerve. Two experimental groups of six dogs each were used. ...

The well-established trophic role of CNTF upon neurons led to performing clinical trials in patients of neurodegenerative diseases. However, trials were suspended due to side effects such as severe weight loss, hyperalgesia, ...

Denervated fast skeletal muscles undergo atrophy, which is associated with an increase in sarcolemma permeability and protein imbalance. However, the mechanisms responsible for these alterations remain largely unknown. ...

The morphological alterations that occur in the muscle fibers of denervated rat diaphragms were studied. Fifteen adult male albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) with a mean weight of 200 g and about 60 days of age were used. ...

There are several degenerative diseases causing symptoms due to nerve trauma peripherals that can lead to muscle atrophy. Parasitic diseases such as trypanosomiasis, highly contagious viral diseases such as distemper, and ...
