From: Chronic alcohol ingestion delays skeletal muscle regeneration following injury
Delayed CNTF gene expression during muscle recovery from injury may hamper regeneration in alcohol-fed mice. CNTF, a growth factor implicated in muscle regeneration, was induced at 2, 7, and 14 days following injury in control-fed mice (A-C, respectively). However, CNTF was only induced at 14 days following injury in alcohol-fed mice suggesting delayed regeneration. Significance was accepted at p ≤ 0.05. *, compared to uninjured group within diet.
