Ultrastructural Study of the Neuromuscular Junctions of Extensor Digitorum Longus Muscle (M. extensor digitorum longus) of the Mice

The neuromuscular junction of the extensor digitorum longus muscle of fingers was analyzed in 21 young (three months) and old (from six to 25 months) mice, from both genders. Morphologic changes were found throughout the mouse life, being more frequent and visible with aging. According with the data...
