Free grafts of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of the rat are invaded by regenerating nerve fibers during the second postoperative week. Neuromuscular junctions are established during the third week. Levels of choline acetyltransferase (CAT) activity parallel the invasion of the graft by nerve fibers, but this activity never returns to control levels. We conclude that incomplete reinnervation of free muscle grafts may be a factor in the failure of such grafts to reattain the mass of control muscles.
大鼠趾长伸肌（EDL）的游离移植体在术后第二周会被再生神经纤维侵入。神经肌肉接头在第三周建立。胆碱乙酰转移酶（CAT）的活性水平与神经纤维对移植体的侵入情况平行，但该活性从未恢复到对照水平。我们得出结论，游离肌肉移植体重建神经支配不完全可能是此类移植体无法恢复到对照肌肉质量的一个因素。
