Effects of blood flow restriction on muscle size and gene expression in muscle during immobilization: A pilot study

Abstract Purpose Muscle mass is known to rapidly decrease with muscle disuse. Previous reports suggest that repetitive blood flow restriction (BFR) mitigates the reduction of muscle mass with disuse. However, the effects of BFR on muscle atrophy and gene expression levels in muscle during cast immob...
