Effects of Short-Term Treatment of Rabbit Extraocular Muscle With Ciliary Neurotrophic Factor
We show that short-term treatment of a single rabbit superior rectus muscle results in decreased myofiber size, decreased force, and altered contractile characteristics. Further studies are needed to determine if it can play a role in improving alignment in animal models of strabismus.
