4‐Aminopyridine attenuates muscle atrophy after sciatic nerve crush injury in mice

Abstract

We recently demonstrated the beneficial effects of 4‐aminopyridine (4‐AP), a potassium channel blocker, in enhancing remyelination and recovery of nerve conduction velocity and motor function after sciatic nerve crush injury in mice. Although muscle atrophy occurs very rapidly after nerve injury, the effect of 4‐AP on muscle atrophy and intrinsic muscle contractile function is largely unknown.
