Review on the effects of TCM on chronic exertional compartment syndrome, and signaling pathways of CaN-NFAT or PPAR/PGC-1 in muscle fiber type conversion / 国际中医中药杂志

The anti-fatigue ability decline is one of the most important clinical symptoms of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS). The percentage change of type-I and II skeletal-muscle fiber is an important reason for anti-fatigue ability decline after intracompartmental pressure increase. There is a close relationship between CaN-NFAT or PPAR/PGC-1 signaling pathways and muscle fiber type conversion. Studies have confirmed that Traditional Chinese medicine can protect the body tissue by activing CaN-NFAT or inhibiting PPAR/PGC-1 signaling pathways. Therefore, we wrote the review in order to better analyze the research progress in this field.
