Muscle changes during reinnervation after repeated nerve injuries.
نویسنده
چکیده
Localized freezings of adult rat sciatic nerve, repeated 2 to 5 times at monthly intervals, induced a series of profound changes in the gastrocnemius muscle. In particular, many type IIC fibres were observed one month after the last freezing. However, this muscle transformation was not stable. Our combined cytological, cytochemical and electrophysiological results provide evidence for multiple and polyneuronal innervation of these type IIC fibres.

The effect of reinnervation on force production and power output in skeletal muscle.
Failure to fully restore contractile function after denervation and reinnervation of skeletal muscle engenders significant disability in patients suffering peripheral nerve injuries. This work tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle denervation and reinnervation result in a deficit in normalized power (W/kg), which exceeds the deficit in specific force (N/cm2), and that the mechanisms respon...
متن کاملChanges in crossed spinal reflexes after peripheral nerve injury and repair.
We investigated the changes induced in crossed extensor reflex responses after peripheral nerve injury and repair in the rat. Adults rats were submitted to non repaired sciatic nerve crush (CRH, n = 9), section repaired by either aligned epineurial suture (CS, n = 11) or silicone tube (SIL4, n = 13), and 8 mm resection repaired by tubulization (SIL8, n = 12). To assess reinnervation, the sciati...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation combined with exercise increase axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury.
Although injured peripheral axons are able to regenerate, functional recovery is usually poor after nerve transection. In this study we aim to elucidate the role of neuronal activity, induced by nerve electrical stimulation and by exercise, in promoting axonal regeneration and modulating plasticity in the spinal cord after nerve injury. Four groups of adult rats were subjected to sciatic nerve ...
متن کاملTime course of changes in lipoprotein lipase activity in rat skeletal muscles during denervation-reinnervation.
The effects of denervation-reinnervation after sciatic nerve crush on the activity of extracellular and intracellular lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were examined in the soleus and red portion of gastrocnemius muscles. The activity of both LPL fractions was decreased in the two muscles within 24 h after the nerve crush and remained reduced for up to 2 wk. During the reinnervation period, LPL activity...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation of embryonic neurons for 1 hour improves axon regeneration and the number of reinnervated muscles that function.
Motoneuron death after spinal cord injury or disease results in muscle denervation, atrophy, and paralysis. We have previously transplanted embryonic ventral spinal cord cells into the peripheral nerve to reinnervate denervated muscles and to reduce muscle atrophy, but reinnervation was incomplete. Here, our aim was to determine whether brief electrical stimulation of embryonic neurons in the p...
