Research Abstract |
We developed the equipment which can noninvasively and sequentially measure the maximum Plantar-flexion torque of mouse, and investigated the relationship between histological effect and the functional effect of resistance exercise (RE) in facilitating recovery from the muscle atrophy. As a result, the histological effect from the muscle atrophy by RE was observed in the myofiber cross sectional area of the soleus muscle. However, the functional effect in plantar-flexion torque was not able to be observed, suggesting that the difference is due to the histological change of other plantar-flexior muscles were small. However, the torque change by muscle atrophy or its recovery process has been sequentially evaluated by using this equipment.
