| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We administered ursolic acid, which is reported to have inhibitory effect on atrophy and degeneration of skeletal muscle, to large rotator cuff tear (RCT) rat model. However, we could not find any effect of ursolic acid on our rat model.
Next, we examined a natural course of muscle atrophy in large RCT rat model. We sacrificed the rats at 1, 2, 4, 8,and 16 weeks after the surgery, and collected the supraspinatus (SSP) and infraspinatus (ISP) muscles and weighed it. The weight ratio of SSP muscle significantly reduced at 16 weeks after the surgery than at 1 week, and the weight ratio of ISP muscle significantly reduced at 4 weeks after the surgery than 1 week. These results suggested that the muscle atrophy in large RCT started earlier in ISP muscle than SSP muscle.
