Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this study was to determine whether reloading of atrophied skeletal muscle after 28 days of hindlimb unloading (HU) would produce significant sarcolemmal membrane disruption before frank necrosis. Soleus and plantaris muscles were atrophied by HU. Adult female Wistar rats (N=13) were killed at 28 days of unloading and 4 and 7 days of reloading after HU. Rat serum albumin was used as a marker for muscle fiber disruption. Dark intracellular staining with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rat serum albumin antibody was interpreted as evidence of membrane rupture. There was a significantly different time course of disruption between plantaris and soleus muscles, with a negative correlation between cell size and occurrence of disruption. Fourteen percent of plantaris fibers were wounded after HU, peaking at day 4 of reloading (20% of cross-sectional area). Soleus demonstrated disruption only on reloading peaking in severity at day 7 (14% of fibers). It was demonstrated that sarcolemmal disruption due to atrophy and reloading does not always progress to necrosis and degeneration by the 7th day of recovery. Verf.-Referat
