| Note also that synaptic boutons and dendrites are also labeled with GFP. This hypothesis is supported by findings of reductions in the terminal branching of motoneurons and the length of the end-plates in the soleus muscles of 28-month-old female Wistar rats[3] and of retraction of the terminal boutons from the sarcolemma and destruction of the sarcolemma infoldings in 36-month-old rat soleus muscles. |
