Muscle inactivity due to injury or disease results in muscle atrophy. The molecular mechanisms contributing to muscle atrophy are poorly understood. However, it is clear that expression of atrophy-related genes, like Atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, are intimately tied to loss of muscle mass. When these atroph

## Abstract A comparison has been made between the responses of denervated mouse soleus muscles to direct electrical stimulation, as reported by earlier workers, and to incubation with supraphysiological concentrations of insulin. The parameters of interest were resting membrane potential (RMP), qu
We studied whether denervation affects the expression of tau, in particular phosphorylated tau, and how it is degraded in rat soleus muscles. Immunoblot analysis showed a high molecular weight, approximately 110 kDa (big tau), in normal muscle. Tau levels increased significantly in denervated muscle
