Abstract:We investigated the effect of ethanol on skeletal muscle development using C2C12 cell culture. The ethanol concentrations of 10 mM, 25 mM, and 100 mM were tested because plasma samples of alcohol‐dependent individuals fall within this range. We assessed two specific events in skeletal muscle development, the fusion of myoblasts to form myotubes, and the acetylcholine receptor (AChR) clustering associated with neuromuscular synapse formation. We report that ethanol does not affect myotube formation. However, et… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
