Mechanisms of muscle repair after peripheral nerve injury by electrical stimulation combined with blood flow restriction training by Xiaolei Chu, Jiaojiao Sun, Jiajia Liang, Wenjie Liu, Zheng Xing, Qi Li, Qingwen Li

“…Additionally, it influences muscle protein synthesis and degradation through specific signaling pathways such as protein kinase B/mechanistic target of rapamycin (Akt/mTOR), as well as via autophagy and the ubiquitin-proteasome system, thereby effectively maintaining muscle mass. BFR, on the other hand, restricts muscle blood flow, leading to metabolic products accumulation and localized hypoxia, which not only promotes the recruitment of fast-twitch fibers but also activates the mTOR signaling pathway, enhancing muscle protein synthesis. …”
