Abstract
The sizes of the different types of muscle fiber in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of mice were measured, EDL muscles showing compensatory hypertrophy following the removal of the tibialis anterior muscle 116 days previously being compared with normal contralateral controls. The hypertrophy was well maintained after 116 days and type II fibers were enlarged preferentially.This publication has 37 references indexed in Scilit:
