It has long been known that skeletal muscle undergoes atrophy following permanent interruption of the motor nerve supply (e.g. Morpurgo, 1892; Ricker & Ellenbeck, 1899; de Buck & de Moor, 1903). Nuclear changes accompanied by loss of sarcoplasm and myofibrillar material continue for months. Ultimately, atrophic fibres usually degenerate and are replaced by fatty tissue (Adams, Denny-Brown & Pearson, 1962) or fibrous tissue (Tower, 1935). In large muscles of the limbs, most fibres are reduced to one-third to one-half of their normal diameters at 2 months (Adams et al. 1962). Many local anaesthetic agents are known to damage skeletal muscle following local injection (Brun, 1959; Pizzolato & Mannheimer, 1961); it has also been reported that lidocaine (diethylaminoacet-2,6-xylidide) causes rapid destruction of skeletal muscle fibres which is followed by regeneration of new fibres in the affected area (Smith, Feagans, Belt & Blair, 1969). Recently it has been claimed that a longacting local anaesthetic, bupivacaine (Marcaine), is capable of producing changes which mimic a rapid denervation atrophy when the muscle is exposed to multiple injections over several days' duration (Sokoll, Sonesson & Thesleff, 1968; Libelius, Sonesson, Stamenovic & Thesleff, 1970). This report concerns itself with the response to bupivacaine of muscle in the rat and will show that it causes a rapid destruction of fibres of skeletal muscle and that a rapid regeneration follows.
