Effects of mechanical over-loading on the properties of soleus muscle fibers, with or without damage, in wild type and mdx mice.

Effects of mechanical over-loading on the characteristics of regenerating or normal soleus muscle fibers were studied in dystrophin-deficient (mdx) and wild type (WT) mice. Damage was also induced in WT mice by injection of cardiotoxin (CTX) into soleus muscle. Over-loading was applied for 14 days t...
