This study examined the effect of exercise after induction of muscle disuse atrophy on apoptosis related gene,
Caspase-3 m-RNA. We divided the mice (ICR) after induction of muscle disuse atrophy into 2 groups: exercise (20
mice) and non-exercise (20 mice). Analyses were made comparing among time periods of stable base, one day, three
day, five day, and seven day after treatment. In each group, three mice were decapitated cervically during which
apoptosis related gene, Caspase-3 m-RNA were compared. The Caspase-3 m-RNA expression showed a significant
statistical difference in non-exercise group's 3rd, 5th, and 7th days (p<.001). When stabilized, there was little
significant difference in non-exercise group's 1st day. Based on the results, it could be interpreted as that a steady
increase load training method can be more effective than continued stability in patients who have the muscle atrophy
due to an accident or a bed safety muscular power exercise insufficiency treatment. Caspase-3 m-RNA that promotes
cell death showed a significant statistical increase.
