Abstract
Purpose: Assess alterations linked to muscular atrophy and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) in rats with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods: Adult rats (Wistar) randomized into 2 groups (n=6/group): control (without intervention) and KOA (ACLT surgery in the right knee). After 8 weeks, quadriceps, tibialis anterior (TA) muscles were analyzed (cross-sectional area of muscle fibers (CSA), NMJ morphology and gene expression). The results will be...
