Early changes in experimental denervated rat gastrocnemius muscle. A semi-automatic quantitative study.
Computer-aided image analysis of EM images reveals important morphometric alterations after only 10 days of rat gastrocnemius denervation. The increasing importance of early quantitative changes in human diagnostics is stressed.
