Abstract
In the present study, various body parameters of uromastix were compared under normal and pathological conditions. The results showed definite relationships between total body weights and lengths, total body lengths and lengths of normal gastrocnemius muscles, weights of the left and right normal muscles, weights and lengths of normal muscles, weights and lengths of normal and 7-days denervated muscles and weights of the normal and 7 to 10 days tenotomized muscles. The other parameters measured showed no relationship between them. It is further demonstrated that hypertrophy occurred in the denervated muscles while atrophy was the result of tenotomy in these muscles.
