Rate of Denervation Muscle Atrophy

  • Chapter
The Denervated Muscle

Abstract

Research on factors affecting the rate of muscle atrophy represents a problem important from both the theoretical and practical points of view. From the theoretical aspect this study can represent an approach to elucidating mechanisms leading to muscle atrophy and to questions of the nervous regulation of normal muscle nutrition. This question is also of practical significance for the clinician, since precise knowledge of therapeutic measures will enable him to give optimal help to the muscle during the denervation period, so that regenerating nerve fibres find it in the best possible state during reinnervation. When experimental or therapeutic procedures aimed at retarding the rate of denervation atrophy are being evaluated, questions concerning objective evaluation of rate of muscle atrophy are of primary interest.
