Abstract
Several apporaches have been made in the past to determine the cellular mechanisms and the biochemical changes during muscle atrophy. Beyond experimental immobilization, muscles were denervated or tenotomy was used to reduce their activity. As Lippmann and Selig pointed out, the results obtained by denervation or tenotomy may not be compared with immobilized muscles since in the first case the afferent impulses are blocked preventing the occurrence of muscular reflexes and in the latter case the muscle is artificially shortened. Therefore, this survey on the effects of disuse of muscles will only focus on immobilization experiments. Verf.-Referat
