Descriptor English: Skeletal Muscle Enlargement
Descriptor Spanish: Crecimiento del Músculo Esquelético
Descriptor hipertrofia muscular esquelética
Scope note: Aumento de la masa de MÚSCULO ESQUELÉTICO en el desarrollo muscular normal. En adultos humanos se debe principalmente a un aumento del tamaño de las FIBRAS MUSCULARES ESQUELÉTICAS, a diferencia de la hiperplasia muscular, en la que un factor esencial es el aumento del número de fibras musculares esqueléticas.
