This study aimed to assess the effect of mild psychological stress in male Wistar rats using incremental, intermittent stress on parameters of atrophy, including body mass, soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle mass, and mechanisms possibly contributing to atrophy. Serum corticosterone concentrations, 20s proteasome activity, glutamine synthetase (GS) and tyrosine amino-transferase (TAT) activities were determined. I also assessed whether Sutherlandia (Su) or resistance exercise was able to reverse the effects of stress on any of these parameters. 2006-11-07T06:39:37Z 2010-06-01T08:49:25Z 2006-11-07T06:39:37Z 2010-06-01T08:49:25Z 2006-03 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/2465 en University of Stellenbosch 665676 bytes 105013 bytes application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf application/pdf Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch |
