Abstract
Skeletal muscle atrophies after denervation. Glucocorticoids also cause skeletal muscle to atrophy. The data presented in this report demonstrate that after denervation there is a significant increase in the number of glucocorticoid receptors in the cytosol of skeletal muscle of rats. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that a skeletal muscle atrophies after denervation because it becomes hypersensitive to glucocorticoids.
