| Research Abstract |
In this study, it is aimed to examine whether medaka can be studied as a model organism for skeletal muscle fiber atrophy in astronauts who stayed in space for long time. Therefore, we observed how the skeletal muscle of medaka was effected by the change of the muscle activity. The frozen cross-seciton of medaka was cut. Then, we detected the slow and/or fast skeletal muscle by the immunohistochemical staining. Moreover, by Laser Micro-Dissection (LMD) method, the slow and fast skeletal muscle fibers were dissected from the frozen cross-sections. And we analyzed the expression of the ubiquitin ligase by real-time RT-PCR.
