Histomorphological comparison of immobilization and denervation atrophies

Abstract

Objective:The aim of this study was to compare the histomorphological changes in the muscle tissue after immobilization and denervation atrophies in an animal model.

Methods: The study included 30 Ross-800 hybrid chickens (60 legs) divided into two study (immobilization and denervation) and two control groups. The knee and ankle joints were fixed with a Kirschner wire in the immobilization atrophy group and sciatic nerve resection was performed in the denervation group. The unaffected side of each group was used as controls. The weight, volume, height, diameter and the rate of elongation of the Achilles tendons, and the amount of fat deposition, degeneration and fibrosis were compared between the two groups at the end of 3 weeks. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed for a histopathological assessment of the muscles. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for comparisons.

Results: Loss of the volume, weight and muscle length was significantly lower in the denervation group than the immobilization group (p<0.05). Differences between the diameter of the Achilles tendon and length and diameter of the short heads were not statistically significant. There were statistically significant differences in fat deposition, degeneration and fibrosis between the degeneration group and the immobilization group (p<0.05). Pixel counting revealed a significant difference in the number of pixels in the fatty tissue area (white area) between the denervation group and the immobilization group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Our results showed that histomorphological changes were more in the denervation group than the immobilization group in an experimental chicken model.
