## Abstract Cast immobilization causes skeletal muscle disuse atrophy and an increased susceptibility to muscle damage. The objective of this study was to explore the utility of noninvasive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to monitor muscle damage in the lower hindlimb muscles of the mouse during re
## Abstract The extent to which the remaining active or passive components of musclemechanical stress not associated with weightbearing are involved in preserving muscle morphological and functional characteristics in the rodent hindlimb suspension model is not known. Such information would be rele
The purpose of the study was to determine the role of excitation-contraction coupling in the increased endurance time for low-force contractions after 4 weeks of elbow joint immobilization. Twelve subjects participated in a protocol that required immobilization of the elbow joint in a fiberglass cas
