Motor unit potentials in a mildly affected muscle in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Myosin-IIB is a non-muscle isoform in the brain with increased expression in the brains of diabetic rats. Chronic hyperglycemia caused by diabetes can impair learning and memory. Oral hypoglycemic agents such as glibenclamide have been used to control hyperglycemia. We report changes in the expression and di...
