- W2003236207 abstract "1. Although the inactivity of a slow muscle (cat soleus) induced via nerve impulse blockade has been demonstrated to have some axotomy-like effects (decreased after-hyperpolarization (AHP) duration) on its innervating motoneurons, the reported effects of inactivity on motoneurons which innervate fast muscles containing mixtures of motor unit types are equivocal. This study was designed to determine the effect of a period (2 weeks) of complete hindlimb muscle paralysis, via tetrodotoxin (TTX) blockade of sciatic nerve impulses, on the contractile (muscle units) and electrophysiological (motoneurons) properties of motor units in the rat gastrocnemius. Motoneuron properties were also compared with those of rats subjected to sciatic nerve axotomy 2 weeks earlier. 2. At the time of the terminal experiment (24 h after the removal of the TTX delivery system) in anaesthetized animals, properties of tibial motoneurons (i.e. rheobase current, input resistance, time course of after-potentials) were determined using conventional microelectrode techniques. For those tibial motoneurons innervating the gastrocnemius, muscle unit responses (i.e. twitch force and time course, maximum tetanic tension, fatigability) were also recorded in response to current injection. 3. Consistent with previously reported whole-muscle responses to TTX-induced disuse, the TTX-treated gastrocnemius muscle units showed weaker tetanic forces, prolonged twitches and elevated twitch/tetanic ratios. These effects were similar for motor units classified as small, medium and large according to their tetanic tension-generating capacities. Muscle unit fatigue resistances appeared to be unchanged. 4. The mean values, distributions and ranges of tibial motoneuron properties were similar between control and TTX-treated groups for rheobase, input resistance and AHP half-decay time. In the case of the latter, the proportion of motoneurons possessing ‘slow’ AHP half-decay times (> 20 ms) was not significantly different in control (17%) and TTX-treated groups (11%). 5. Motoneurons axotomized 2 weeks earlier had a significantly higher (42-69%) mean input resistance and a longer (34-42%) mean AHP half-decay time when compared with the control and TTX-treated groups. 6. It appears that, for fast muscles containing several different motor unit types, TTX-induced axon blockade does not produce similar effects on motoneuron intrinsic properties to those evoked by axotomy. This lack of effect on the distribution and range of these properties of tibial motoneurons indicates that none of the motoneurons which innervate muscles of mixed fibre type are particularly susceptible to the decreased activity and the atrophy-associated muscle changes produced by this condition. Thus, the apparent ‘retrograde signalling’ of muscle on motoneuron properties reported previously for the cat soleus may be specific to this particular muscle or species." @default.
