The hypothesis was tested that differential, coregulated transcriptional adaptations of various cellular pathways would occur early with increased mechanical loading of atrophied skeletal muscle and relate to concurrent damage of muscle fibers. Atrophy and slow-to-fast fiber transformation of rat soleus muscle was provoked by 14 days of hindlimb suspension (HS). Subsequent reloading of hindlimbs caused a fourfold increase in the percentage of muscle fibers, demonstrating endomysial tenascin-C st ...[more]
