| Research Abstract |
The following experiments were done to study the regenerative ability though how to modified by aging, continuos tension, and exercise to rat skeletal muscle.
1. Change by aging. Bupivacaine was injected into the anterior tibial muscles of 2-year-old rats. The induced degeneration-regeneration was slow, taking 3 weeks to completion (1 week in young rats). The reconstituted muscle showed small fiber size, an increased number of internal nuclei.
2. Influence of synergistic tenotomy. Bupivacaine was injected into the extensor digitorum longus muscle after tonotomy of anterior tibial muscle. Tenotomized muscle gained maturation for 5-6 weeks. The regenerating process was slower in the tenotomized muscle than in the control muscle.
3. Effect of exercise on regeneration. The effect of exercise during regeneration process on satellite cell activation was studied. It was found that satellite cells in these muscles were synthesizing DNA 30 h after bupivacaine treatment. Respectively, this was 18 h earlier than found on non-exercising muscle. Satellite cells are activated earlier and muscle fibers mature more rapidly.
It was confirmed that the constant contraction and relaxation of the exercising muscles was effective in the restoration and the promotion of maturity on regenerating muscle.
