This study was intended to delineate whether electrical stimulation could significantly reduce the amount of joint contracture in a rat model. Rat knees were surgically immobilized in 150" of flexion. Two groups of rats had sham electrodes, and two groups were electrically stimulated. All rats were
## Abstract Neuromuscular function in adult male rats was studied following 30 days of exposure to a 60โHz electric field at 100 kV/m (unperturbed field strength). Isometric force transducers were attached to the tendons of the plantaris (predominantly fast twitch), and soleus (predominantly slow t
## Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of reduced tongue activity by artificial rearing on the morphology of motoneurons innervating the extrinsic tongue retrusors. Artificially reared rat pups were fed via gastric cannula from postnatal day 3 to postnatal day 14. Artifi
EGF-stimulated replication of specific genes was examined in primary hepatocyte cultures from mature (6 months) and senescent (24 months) rats. Basal and EGF-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation and DNA polymerase alpha activities, as well as total cellular DNA, were also assessed. The genes exami
