in this study, effects of buthus eupeus venom on chick biventer cervices nerve-muscle preparation were investigated by twitch tension method. the venom, at 1.3 ?g/ml, increased contractile responses in indirect stimulations. these effects were milder in direct muscle stimulations. it also caused significant enhancement in postjunctional sensitivity as assessed by responses to exogenous acetylch...

in light of provided progresses in ultrasound measurements of lateral abdominal muscles, an important role for these muscles, particularly transverse abdominis (tra) muscle in stability of the spine has been suggested. some authors have found significant correlations between body mass index (bmi) and thickness of these muscles. the aim of this study was to examine possible association between d...

charcot-marie-tooth (cmt) diseases represent a heterogeneous genetic disorder with more than 80 genes implicated, however sharing a similar phenotype. in recent years, advances in molecular genetics and molecular biology, and also the development of various animal models of cmt, have led to a better understanding. this knowledge represents a prerequisite for the development of future therapies ...

conclusions these results showed enhanced muscle atrophy processes following peripheral nerve damage and might provide a useful approach to study underlying muscle mechanisms associated with clinical neuropathic pain syndromes. results compared to control animals, l5 ligated animals developed mechanical and heat hypersensitivity during total period of study. soleus muscle weight as well as cdk5...
