Differential effects of post-natal development, animal strain and long term recovery on the restoration of neuromuscular function after neuromyotoxic injury in rat.

Résumé

We have analysed the effect of long term recovery, post-natal development and animal strain on the extent of restoration of neuromuscular function after neuromyotoxic injury in the rat (Rattus norvegicus). Muscle isometric contractile properties of soleus muscle in response to nerve stimulation were measured in situ in snake venom injured muscles and compared to contralateral uninjured muscles. We show here that neuromuscular function was not fully recovered until 24 weeks after injury in young adult (2-3 month old) Wistar rats. Moreover, the level of functional recovery 3 weeks after injury induced in juvenile rats (1 month old) was not globally different from that in younger adult, adult (10 month old) and older adult (24 month old) Wistar rats. Furthermore, the level of recovery of some contractile parameters differed between Wistar and Sprague-Dawley strains 3 weeks after injury. In conclusion, a very long time (>12 weeks) is required for full neuromuscular recovery following neuromyotoxic injury of young adult rats. Moreover, neuromuscular recovery during post-natal development is not markedly different from that during adult stage in the Wistar rat strain. Finally, some rat strain differences are observed in the recovery after injury of young adult rats.
