From: Functional overload attenuates plantaris atrophy in tumor-bearing rats
Six weeks of tumor development induced skeletal muscle atrophy. Several skeletal muscles, including gastrocnemius, plantaris, tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus and diaphragm, had reduced relative masses that could not be attributed to reduced caloric intake or anorexia. N = 6/group. *, Significantly different from control rats (p ≤ 0.05). TB, tumor-bearing.
