Silencing Rab32 improve PNI induced Denervation drives Gastrocnemius muscle atrophy. The severity of denervation-induced gastrocnemius muscle atrophy was evaluated at 12 weeks postoperatively. A The gastrocnemius muscle was assessed for pathological changes through macroscopic analysis (upper) as well as H&E (middle) and Masson staining (lower). B–E The degree of recovery in atrophied gastrocnemius muscles were accessed by muscle weight (ratio injured/healthy limb), muscle fiber area, muscle fiber diameter and the collagen volume fraction (%), respectively. **p < 0.01, *p < 0.05.
