Histochemical and contractile properties following neonatal denervation in the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle of the mouse
Mature fast-twitch skeletal muscle depends on innervation for complete differentiation and maintenance of its fast-twitch histochemical and contractile properties. The motorneuron plays a dominant role in the development of many of these characteristics, and therefore developing muscle is even more...
