Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 mainly impacts the lungs but can also cause widespread issues like muscle weakness, fatigue, and myalgia, which may worsen patient outcomes.
- A study using C57BL/6J mice infected with a coronavirus (MHV-3) found significant motor impairment and weakness related to neuromuscular system changes.
- The infected mice exhibited motoneuron degeneration, atrophy at the neuromuscular junction, and muscle fiber type changes, indicating that coronaviruses can disrupt motor function and muscle health.
