Passive Repetitive Stretching for a Short Duration within a Week Increases Myogenic Regulatory Factors and Myosin Heavy Chain mRNA in Rats' Skeletal Muscles

Figure 1

MyoD mRNA expression. Relative ratio of MyoD mRNA expression induced under different stretching conditions (mean ± SE). The open bar shows the control group; shaded bars denote the unstretched side of continuous stretching and repetitive stretching; and filled bars denote the stretched side of continuous stretching and repetitive stretching. Significant differences were displayed (* ).
