Effect of Intermittent Low-Frequency Electrical Stimulation on the Rat Gastrocnemius Muscle

Low-frequency neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been used as an endurance exercise model. This study aimed to test whether low-frequency NMES increases the phosphorylation of anabolic signaling molecules and induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy, as seen with high-frequency NMES. Using S...
