Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The cause of muscle atrophy diseases includes atrophy and degeneration of nerves and/or muscles. The swallowing disorder is known to be a severe symptom of these diseases. In this study, we examined the changes of muscle and nerves in the pharynx and oral structures in models of muscle atrophy diseases. We also examined the glial reaction in the spinal cord of the models.
