dc.description.abstract | This experiment was designed to test the hypothesis that in the presence of regenerating nerve fibers long-term denervated skeletal muscle does not become reinnervated. This hypothesis was tested in rats by the transplantation of 22-month denervated extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles into the sites of EDL muscles in the contralateral, normally innervated legs. Two months after transplantation, the muscles contracted when stimulated via the motor nerve, and based on silver-acetylcholinesterase staining, all grafts possessed innervated motor end plates. Compared to values for control EDL muscles in old rats, the maximum force developed by standard free grafts in old rats was 19% and that of long-term denervated grafts was 7%. For standard free grafts, nerve stimulation produced a maximum force that was 81% of that produced by direct stimulation, and for control EDL muscles in young and old rats, the values were 96 and 90%, respectively. These results show that after long-term denervation rat muscles are capable of becoming functionally reinnervated, even though by the time of reinnervation the animals have attained an advanced age of 26 months. | en_US |
