Abstract:Unlike other organs, skeletal muscle is endowed with a remarkable potential for regeneration that depends on the presence of satellite cells. Histological and functional (force generation) recoveries after muscle damage are not parallel processes. The aim of this study is to examine the in vivo contractile properties and in vitro passive stress–stretch behavior of muscle during degeneration–regeneration processes. Notexin was injected into rat tibialis anterior muscle, and functional recovery and histological … Show more
