Why the study?
Does chronic alteration in neuromuscular activity and loading affect myonuclear number and fiber size in adult cat skeletal muscle fibers?
Does chronic alteration in neuromuscular activity and loading affect myonuclear number and fiber size in adult cat skeletal muscle fibers?
Changes in myonuclear number are associated with changes in myosin type and suggest that modulations in available DNA may regulate cytoplasmic volume of muscle fibers in response to chronic changes in neuromuscular activity.

Animal data link activity to myonuclear and fiber size plasticity; leaves open translation to human disuse or overload.
Allen et al. (1995) studied this question.
