Neuromuscular electrical stimulation alters gene expression and delays quadriceps muscle atrophy of rats after anterior cruciate ligament transection.
RatOtherWistarMaleApplied in the acute phase after anterior cruciate ligament transection
Model: Anterior cruciate ligament transection with resulting quadriceps muscle atrophy
Stimulation reduced accumulation of atrogene and myostatin mRNA and prevented loss of muscle mass at 3 days, but did not prevent atrophy at 7 or 15 days after transection.
