title: [Metabolic changes in denervated skeletal muscles].
abstract: Section of the motor nerve of skeletal muscles produces severe atrophy and causes dramatic changes in biochemical properties of the muscles. Progressive decrease of oxidative and glycolytic activity, increased protein and purine degradation are prominent features of muscular atrophy. Denervation leads also to rapidly developing insulin resistance in skeletal muscles.
