## Abstract The bulbocavernosus (BC) and levator ani (LA) muscles of rats show remarkable androgenβdependent sexual dimorphism. These muscles are additionally of interest because they are thought to indirectly mediate sexual differentiation of innervating spinal motoneurons. This sexual differentia

## Abstract The study and description of a separated cell type have been dependent on the evolution of the electron microscope. There have been few experiments designed to induce changes in myonucleus and satelliteβcell populations in vivo without physically injuring muscle. In this regard, the mos
Background: Level exercise leads to focal structural damage in muscle fibers and to an increase of creatine kinase in the blood. We questioned whether it also induces activation of young and adult muscle satellite cells toward proliferation. Methods: Rats of two different ages, 6 and 16 weeks, were
