2. Neuromuscular effects related to hind limb disuse : experimental studies in the rat
Sammanfattning : Disuse is known to cause skeletal muscle atrophy and a dramatic increase in bone resorption. In this work the effects of disuse were studied in rats after hind limb immobilization for 5 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks. In addition, rats with a midshaft femur fracture were treated with adequate or undersized intramedullary pins. LÄS MER
3. Effects of unloading on skeletal muscle mass and function in man
Sammanfattning : An experimental human model of skeletal muscle unloading of one lower limb and confined bedrest were employed to quantitate the adaptive responses to 10 days, 4 or 6 wk of unloading in healthy humans on quadricep skeletal muscle mass and function. Muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was assessed using tomographic imaging (CT, MRI). LÄS MER
4. Sarcopenia
Sammanfattning : Sarcopenia (Greek; sarcos: flesh, and penia: poverty) is the pronounced muscle loss that affects the aging population. Sareopenia of the leg muscles results in loss of independence and increased morbidity in the elderly. Emphasizing hind limb motor function, this thesis investigates different aspects of aging and sarcopenia in a rodent model. LÄS MER
5. The effects of cyclosporin A on bone turnover and repair
Sammanfattning : The effects of cyclosporin A on bone metabolism are unclear and controversial. The aims of this thesis were to study the effects of cyclosporin A on bone turnover and on different repair processes such as fracture healing, osteoinduction and osteoconduction. LÄS MER
