| Research Abstract |
This study analyzed the histological and ultrastructural changes of atrophied muscle fibers using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and immunohistochemistry. We used an animal model of disused muscle atrophy. In muscle fibers of the immobilization group, wave-like structure was observed: it appeared as a groove, and was thought to be endomysium inserted into the cytoplasm of the muscle fiber. The wave-like structure was positive for anti-collagen IV antibody. Based on these results, the structure which inserted into the cytoplasm and formed a groove was confirmed to be endomysium. Moreover, myofibrillar disruption and MMP expression were not observed at region of the wave-like structure.
