Type A1 but Not Type A2 Botulinum Toxin Decreases the Grip Strength of the Contralateral Foreleg Through Axonal Transport From the Toxin-Treated Foreleg of Rats

Abstract.: The adverse effects of botulinum LL toxin and neurotoxin produced by subtype A1 (A1LL and A1NTX) are becoming issues, as the toxins could diffuse from the toxin-treated (ipsilateral) to contralateral muscles.
