Abstract

A study was performed to investigate the effect of electrical stimulation on disused rat soleus muscle, of male rat. The animal's hindlimbs were immobilized 4weeks by plaster of paris, and stimulated with E. S. T for 4weeks (20min/day) The changes on soleus were examined with histochemical, histological, and morphometric method. The results are summarized as follows. 1. Disued atrophy group from immobilization, which margin of sarcolemma and myofibril in sarcoplasm were not cleared, also degenerated from necrosis with phagocytosis. 2. The numbers of nuclear were much increased and accumulation of nuclear were finded, and relatively muscular atrophic changed. 3. Increased inflammatory cyte, also finded neutrophil and macrophage. 4. Relatively atrophic changed from severe fibrosis by incleased connectivetissue. 5. The glycogen granules were much decreased in E. S. T group. It means that electrical stimulation effected the muscle exercise. 6, The activity of the NADH-TR reaction of E. S. T. Tgroup were white muscle group are transformed into red muscle fiber than normal group. 7. These results indicate that the electrical stimulation effected to soleus also prevention and delayed muscular atrophy.
