IntroductionNeurotoxin injection is used to treat a wide variety of neuromuscular disorders. The purpose of this study was to measure the functional and structural properties of botulinum toxin–injected adult rat skeletal muscle over nearly the entire lifespan.MethodsTen groups of animals were subjected to either neurotoxin injection [Botox, Type A (BT‐A); Allergan, Irvine, California] or saline solution injection. Neurotoxin‐injected animals (n= 90) were analyzed at different time‐points: 1 week; 1 month; 3 months; 6 months; 12 months; or 18 months.ResultsIn spite of the recovery of structural features, such as muscle mass and fiber area, dorsiflexion torque production remained significantly depressed by 25%, even at 12 months after neurotoxin injection.DiscussionThe data demonstrate that, after a single BT‐A injection, although gross muscle morphology recovered over a 12‐month time period, loss of contractile function did not recover.Muscle Nerve57: 435–441, 2018
