| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We hypothesized that prenyl flavonoid improves the recovery of skeletal muscle from the disuse muscle atrophy. Right ankle of hind leg of mouse was fixed to induce disuse muscle atrophy. After that, prenyl flavonoid mixed diet or control diet was supplied to mice. To estimate the atrophy, weight of muscle was measured and ratio of atrophied muscle to control muscle was calculated. Muscle weight in supplementation group showed higher recovery than that in control diet group.
