Influence of Post-Injury Ultrasound Treatments on Muscle Specific Insulin-Like Growth Factor (MGF)

Non-thermal ultrasound (US) is commonly used in an attempt to improve skeletal muscle regeneration, although the efficacy of this practice is not firmly established. Researchers have investigated a number of growth factors involved in the activation of satellite cells during the regeneration process, however, muscle-specific insulin-like growth factor (MGF) has not been examined in this context. PURPOSE: To examine the influence of non-thermal...
