Abstract

<p>[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to verify the recovery after disuse atrophy by gradual loading. [Participants and Methods] Eight-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to control, hind-limb suspension (H), gradual loading after 7 days of hind-limb suspension (G), and constant loading after 7 days of hind-limb suspension (W) groups. At the end of the experimental period, the cross-sectional area and occurrence ratio of necrotic and central nuclear fibers were measured. [Results] The cross-sectional areas of the muscle fibers in the proximal region of the H and W groups were significantly smaller than those of the other groups, but there was no site-dependent difference in G group. [Conclusion] The results suggest gradual loading is an effective intervention for the proximal region which is the region most susceptible to disuse atrophy.</p>
