Modulation of Gene Expression in Muscle of Hibernating Arctic Ground Squirrels ( Urocitellus parryii) and Attenuation of Disuse Muscle Atrophy
Physical inactivity generates muscle atrophy in most mammalian species. In contrast, hibernating ground squirrels demonstrate limited muscle loss over the prolonged periods of immobility during winter suggesting that they have adaptive mechanisms to reduce disuse muscle atrophy. To identify transcri...
