## Abstract Myostatin, a member of the transforming growth factorโฮฒ (TGFโฮฒ) superfamily, has been identified as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass. To provide more data on the role of myostatin in denervationโinduced muscle atrophy, we examined the timeโdependent changes in myostatin mRNA

## Abstract This study investigates potential functional effects of thyroid hormone (T3) on peripheral nerve regeneration in rats. Forty adult male Lewis rats were included in this study. After complete transection of the right sciatic nerve, the gap between the stumps was bridged with a silicone t
## Abstract ## Background and Objective Postโtraumatic nerve repair is still a challenge for rehabilitation. It is particularly important to develop clinical protocols to enhance nerve regeneration. The present study investigated the effects of 660 and 780โnm lowโlevel laser therapy (LLLT) using d
Two types of nerve lesions were performed at birth in rat extensor digitorum longus muscle: sciatic nerve transection (group A) and sciatic nerve crush allowing further reinnervation (group 6). Contractile responses were then studied at different times after the denervation (7, 14, 30, and 60 days)
To elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying chronic nerve-stretch injury, we gradually lengthened rat femurs by 15 mm at the rate of 0.5 mm/day (group L, n = 13). The control groups comprised sham-operated (group S, n = 10) and naive (group N, n = 8) rats. Immediately after the lengthe
