Tamaki T, Muramatsu K, Ikutomo M, Komagata J
Anat Sci Int . 2023 Sep; 99(1):106-117. PMID: 37768514
The mode of diabetes-induced muscle and motor neuron damage depends on the type of muscle and motor neuron. One of the purposes of exercise therapy for diabetes is to improve...

Muramatsu K, Niimi N, Ikutomo M, Shimo S, Tamaki T, Niwa M, et al.
Exp Neurol . 2023 Feb; 363:114357. PMID: 36849002
Diabetes disrupts the corticospinal tract (CST) system components that control hindlimb and trunk movement, resulting in weakness of the lower extremities. However, there is no information about a method to...

Muramatsu K, Shimo S, Tamaki T, Ikutomo M, Niwa M
Int J Mol Sci . 2021 Sep; 22(18). PMID: 34576288
This study aimed to reveal functional and morphological changes in the corticospinal tract, a pathway shown to be susceptible to diabetes. Type 1 diabetes was induced in 13-week-old male Wistar...

Shimo S, Saitoh S, Bang Nguyen H, Quynh Thai T, Ikutomo M, Muramatsu K, et al.
Sci Rep . 2020 Jul; 10(1):12372. PMID: 32704004
Diabetes impairs enteric nervous system functions; however, ultrastructural changes underlying the pathophysiology of the myenteric plexus and the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter (SGLT) inhibitors are poorly understood. This study aimed...

Tamaki T, Muramatsu K, Ikutomo M, Oshiro N, Hayashi H, Niwa M
Anat Sci Int . 2018 Jun; 93(4):502-513. PMID: 29876845
Skeletal muscle fiber subtypes are differentially sensitive to diabetes-related pathology; For example, fast-twitch muscles exhibit severe decreases in contraction force while slow-twitch muscles demonstrate prolonged half-relaxation time. However, such alterations...

Muramatsu K, Niwa M, Tamaki T, Ikutomo M, Masu Y, Hasegawa T, et al.
Neurosci Res . 2016 Nov; 115:21-28. PMID: 27826051
This study examined the alterations in the number and size of motoneurons innervating the medial gastrocnemius (MG) and biceps femoris (BF) motor nuclei in diabetic rats (12 or 22 weeks...
