Enhanced skeletal muscle regrowth and remodelling in massaged and contralateral non‐massaged hindlimb

摘要

Key points class="unordered" style="list-style-type:disc" id="tjp12683-list-0001">Muscle fibre cross sectional area is enhanced with massage in the form of cyclic compressive loading during regrowth after atrophy.Massage enhances protein synthesis of the myofibrillar and cytosolic, but not the mitochondrial fraction, in muscle during regrowth.Focal adhesion kinase activation and satellite cell number are elevated in muscles undergoing massage during regrowth.Muscle fibre cross sectional area and protein synthesis of the myofibrillar fraction, but not DNA synthesis, are elevated in muscle of the contralateral non‐massaged limb.Massage in the form of cyclic compressive loading is a potential anabolic intervention during muscle regrowth after atrophy.
