Improving Tissue Repair After Injury in the Muscle-tendon Interface Muscle Tissue Injury
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Electrical stimulation: Experimentally induced muscly injury via. neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the hamstring muscles
Growth hormone (somatropin): Daily injection of growth hormone
Control (No electrical stimulation, nor growth hormone): No electrical stimulation, nor growth hormone
Study summary
The study is a 2-week human study where 40 patients who are scheduled to undergo reconstructive knee surgery are randomized to administration of GH or placebo following or without neuromuscular electrical stimulation of hamstring muscles.The overall aim is to determine, the role of muscle connective tissue protein synthesis in muscle injury and repair.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Difference in muscle and myotendinous junction protein synthesis in regenerating vs. control muscle — 2 years
Fractional synthesis rates based on D2O (deuterated water) intake and deuterium labelled alanine in tissue
