OBJECTIVE: This study determines the role of changes in numerical densities of apoptotic myonuclei and satellite cells in age-related remodeling of the thyroarytenoid muscle CTA).DESIGN: Changes in numerical densities of apoptotic myonuclei and satellite cells were estimated for the entire TA by using stereological techniques. RESULTS: There was an increase in N-v (apoptotic myonucreus,) (fiber type) (P < 0.05) and in the percentage of apoptotic myonuclei (P < 0.05) in type 1 but not in type 2 muscle fibers. There was also an increase in N-v apoptotic satellite cell,N- fiber type (P < 0.05) and in the percentage of apoptotic satellite cells (P < 0.05) in type 1 fibers but not in type 2 fibers.CONCLUSION Apoptosis may contribute to age-related fiber loss and atrophy in the TA.SIGNIFICANCE: Therapeutic techniques based on decreasing the frequency of apoptosis may block age-related fiber loss and atrophy in the TA.
