Differences in gene expression between fast and slow muscle or between normal and denervated slow muscles

Characters of slow muscle are strongly dependent on the level of muscular activity. Denervation silences the muscular activity. Therefore, we determined the effects of denervation on gene expression in slow soleus muscle of adult rats.慢肌（slow muscle）的特性强烈依赖于肌肉活动水平。去神经支配（denervation）可使肌肉活动完全沉寂。因此，本研究探究了去神经支配对成年大鼠慢型比目鱼肌（slow soleus muscle）基因表达的影响。
