Effects of botulinum toxin type A on healing of injured skeletal muscles
Objectives: (1) Evaluation of microscopic healing of skeletal muscle
fibers after injuries, especially the arrangement of new muscle fibers
and scar tissue diameter in the injury region. (2) Evaluation of
alterations in microscopy of the healing procedure within skeletal
muscles after injury following botulinum toxin type A (BTX -A) induced
muscle immobilization. Materials and Methods: The study was done on
12 white lab rabbits of either sex in a 6-month period. Results: The
immobilization of skeletal muscle fibers as a result of the use of
BTX-A after injury caused a qualitative increase in fibrous tissue
formation in the area of injury, and the BTX-A-induced immobilization
for a period of 6 months led to muscle atrophy
