S
keletal muscle denervation compounds a group of affection of locomotor system capable to promote im-
portant physical disabilities. We studied the effects of muscle denervation on different fiber types, mor-
phology of satellite cell and microvascular supply in soleus muscle of Wistar rats after surgical neural dam-
age through sciatic nerve section. After fifteen days of hindlimb palsy, the soleus muscle atrophy was studied
through the analisys of muscular weight and transverse sectional area of muscle fibers. Following, we analyzed
the diferent fiber types using histochemical analyses for myosin-ATPase reaction to appoint changes in con-
tractile behavior of soleus muscle. The mophology of satellite’s cells was studied using electron transmission
microscopy images and the microvasculature of the tissue was analyzed obtained histological reactions for
toluidine blue to study the rate of capilar-fiber. We observed that the soleus muscle showed reduction of 36%
of mass as well as 50% of reduction in the cross sectional area in the experimental group after fifteen days of
sciatic nerve damage, indicating muscle hypotrophy. Also, we verified an increase in the fast-twitch (type IIb)
and undifferentiated fiber types revealing alteration in the muscle contractile behavior. The electron transmis-
sion microscopy revealed disarrangement of the skeletal muscle tissue with the one sided prolongations of
satellite cell, showing its migratory potential and capacity to regenerating the lesion’s tissue. We compared all
this results with the capillary-fiber rates finding 35% less capillary per muscle fiber in control animals that in the
experimental animals. We conclude that keep up with the change in the muscle contraction pattern this study
showed a microvascularization adjustment consistent with the histochemical modification of soleus muscle
during atrophy process.
