Molecular events and signalling pathways involved in skeletal muscle disuse-induced atrophy and the impact of countermeasures
Disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy occurs following chronic periods of inactivity such as those involving prolonged bed rest, trauma and microgravity environments. Deconditioning of skeletal muscle is mainly characterized by a loss of muscle mass, decreased fibre cross-sectional area, reduced fo...
