Purpose : The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the pre-application effect of low frequency electrical stimulation(LFES) on VEGF expression of atrophic muscle and to determine the optimal pre-application period of LFES for prevent muscle atropy Methods : Twenty-five adult sprague-dawley rats were randomly assigned to weight bearing group, hindlimb suspension for 14 days group, hindlimb suspension with pre-application of LFES for 14 days group, hindlimb suspension with pre-application of LFES for 11 dsys group and, hindlimb suspension with pre-application LFES for 7 dsys group. 16Hz of Biphasic pulse current was applied to gastrocnemius for 15min per days. Results : VEGF were decreased expression in HSG groups, whereas VEGF were significantly increased in HS+ES14G, HS+ES11G, HS+ES7G groups Conclusion : LFES during the hindlimb suspension showed a positive effect in VEGF induction and early application is strongly encourage VEGF induction. This indicated that pre-application of LFES could prevent muscle atrophy.
