Interaction between muscle and bone, and improving the effects of electrical muscle stimulation on amyotrophy and bone loss in a denervation rat model via sciatic neurectomy

Abstract: Abstract. The side-to-side difference in bone mineral content and soft tissue composition of extremities and their associations have been observed in patients with stroke and the results are inconsistent. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interaction between bone mineral content (BMC), lean mass (LM) and fat mass (FM) in the paretic extremities in patients following stroke and to determine the effectiveness of electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) following sciatic neurectomy (SN) in rats. BMC,… Show more

“…The occurrence of osteoporosis could affect muscle functioning so that mechanical vibration would not demonstrate the same effects. A single different parameter on intervention might show this distinction, especially frequency, which has the most impact on apeak results [48].…”

“…In an experimental study in rats subjected to sciatic neurectomy to reproduce adverse effects such as disuse amyotrophy and cortical bone loss (Feng et al, 2016), 30-min NMES sessions 5 days per week for 9 weeks downregulated mRNA expression levels of myostatin and upregulated those of mechano-growth factor (MGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).…”

“…Animal models support this hypothesis. Muscle is involved in maintaining the bone mineral content and in electrical muscle stimulation following sciatic neurectomy in rats; muscle fibers downregulated myostatin gene expression, a model that should suggest the downregulation of this myokine in stroke-derived paretic limbs [ 95 ]. Cerebral ischemia causes also the activation of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)/Smad/5/8 signaling in muscle atrophy occurring following stroke.…”
