Muscle wasting worsened artery damage in immobilized mice
In experiments, male mice with immobilized hindlimbs developed more calcium build-up and larger aneurysms after 42 days than mice with induced aneurysms alone.In experiments, male mice with immobilized hindlimbs developed more calcium build-up and larger aneurysms after 42 days than mice with induced aneurysms alone.
Mouse studyMuscle
Who was studiedMale mice with induced abdominal aortic aneurysms, 42 days
What changedAortic calcium buildup was greater in immobilized mice with aneurysms than in mice with aneurysms alone
The catchEffects of vascular damage on muscle wasting were not measured
