The effect of glucocorticoid myopathy, unloading and reloading on the skeletal muscle contractile apparatus and extracellular matrix

Year: 2007

Type: dissertation

Abstract: During three weeks of hindlimb suspension muscle mass decreased 36% (p<0.05) in Soleus (Sol) muscle, 17% (p<0.05) in Gastrocnemius (GM) and had tendences to decrease in plantaris (Pla) (15%) and in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) (8%) muscles.Hindlimb grip strength decreased gradually during three weeks of unloading.Specific mRNA level for type I collagen decreased during three weeks of unloading in Sol muscle by 28% (p<0.05) and in GM muscle by 34% (p<0.05).mRNA level for type III collagen decreased in Sol by 22%
