Simple Methods for Permanent or Transient Denervation in Mouse Sciatic Nerve Injury Models
Our ability to move and breathe requires an efficient communication between nerve and muscle that mainly takes place at the neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), a highly specialized synapse that links the axon of a motor neuron to a muscle fiber. When NMJs or

Absence of physiological Ca2+ transients is an initial trigger for mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle following denervation [PDF]
Background Motor neurons control muscle contraction by initiating action potentials in muscle. Denervation of muscle from motor neurons leads to muscle atrophy, which is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction.

The ubiquitin ligase Nedd4-1 participates in denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in mice. [PDF]
Skeletal muscle atrophy is a consequence of muscle inactivity resulting from denervation, unloading and immobility. It accompanies many chronic disease states and also occurs as a pathophysiologic consequence of normal aging.

Muscle fibre denervation in ageing
Abstract Muscle fibre denervation describes the loss of effective neural input from a motor neuron to one or more muscle fibres. In ageing, denervation is increasingly recognised as an important contributor to progressive declines in muscle strength and functional capacity, yet it remains heterogeneous and difficult to define in ...

Background While decreased protein intake is associated with muscle mass loss, it is unclear whether a decrease in carbohydrate intake adversely affects muscle atrophy independently of protein intake.

Time-Dependent Changes in Muscle IGF1-IGFBP5-PAPP System after Sciatic Denervation [PDF]
Denervation-induced muscle atrophy is a frequent cause of skeletal muscle diseases. However, the role of the most important muscle growth factor, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), in this process is poorly understood.

Differential response of skeletal muscles to mTORC1 signaling during atrophy and hypertrophy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle mass is determined by the balance between protein synthesis and degradation. Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of protein translation and has been implicated in the control of muscle mass ...

Insulin Resistance Is Not Sustained Following Denervation in Glycolytic Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Denervation rapidly induces insulin resistance (i.e., impairments in insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and signaling proteins) in skeletal muscle. Surprisingly, whether this metabolic derangement is long-lasting is presently not clear.

Denervation-Induced Activation of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome System Reduces Skeletal Muscle Quantity Not Quality. [PDF]
It is well known that the ubiquitin-proteasome system is activated in response to skeletal muscle wasting and functions to degrade contractile proteins. The loss of these proteins inevitably reduces skeletal muscle size (i.e., quantity).
