    High strain mechanical loading rapidly induces tendon apoptosis: an ex vivo rat tibialis anterior model

    A Scott, K M Khan, J Heer, et al

    Background: The role of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, has only recently been explored in tendon.

    Objective: To investigate the development of apoptosis after high strain loading of rat tendon.

    Methods: The right tibialis anterior tendons of three rats were prepared for mechanical loading, and left tendons were prepared identically as non-loaded controls. Tendon was loaded with 20% strain for six hours using a 1 …
