| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the effects of combination of stretching and heat stimulation on the steroid-induced muscle atrophy in vitro and vivo. The results demonstrate that heat stimulation can prevent the progression of skeletal muscle atrophy, and this effect is linked to the modulation of both catabolic and anabolic signaling pathways. The study also suggests that stretching induce skeletal muscle hypertrophy, possibly through the activation of anabolic signaling pathways. Hence, the combination of the heat stimulation and stretching may be effective in steroid-induced muscle atrophy.
