2014, Ultrasound in Medicine and BiologyCitation Excerpt :This finding suggests that the non-thermal effects of the pulsed US inhibited the development of disuse muscle atrophy in the US group partly. Previous reports showed that the capillary diameter and the number of capillaries were decreased in atrophied muscle because of an inactive and reduced metabolism (Desplanches et al. 1990; Kano et al. 2000; Oki et al. 1999). A decrease in the number of capillaries was also observed in this study because the ratio of the number of capillaries to muscle fiber was decreased significantly in the Im group compared with the control group.
Suppressed cutaneous endothelial vascular control and hemodynamic changes in paretic extremities with edema in the extremities of patients with hemiplegia
2002, Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationCitation Excerpt :Various investigations11,12,24 have also found a decreased NO bioactivity and/or increased generation of superoxide anions during limb immobilization and physical deconditioning. Earlier studies25,26 also indicated that the endothelial cell was partially disrupted and formed a small pore at its fenestrated capillaries after experimental limb immobilization. Therefore, prolonged inactivity because of flaccid muscles in paretic extremities may increase endothelial cell contraction and may disrupt the integrity of the endothelial cells, possibly by increasing the generation of reactive oxygen species, thus reducing NO bioactivity.
