Application of Animal Models: Chronic Electrical Stimulation-Induced Contractile Activity
Abstract
Unilateral, chronic low-frequency electrical stimulation (CLFS) is an experimental model that evokes numerous biochemical and physiological adaptations in skeletal muscle. These occur within a short time frame and are restricted to the stimulated muscle. The humoral effects of whole body exercise are eliminated and the nonstimulated contralateral limb can often be used as a control muscle, if possible effects on the contralateral side are …
