Acetylcholine synthesis, storage, degredation and nicotinic receptores in a rat model for space-induced muscle atrophy

Creator:

Royland, Joyce E.

Abstract:

Space flight results in loss of mass and function in skeletal muscle. Data from manned flights and animal biosatellites give evidence of possible changes in neuromuscular interactions. Components at the neuromuscular junction are a potential site of action for this space-induced muscle atrophy. We examined the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor population...
