Histochemical studies on the red, white and intermediate muscle fibers of some skeletal muscles. Ⅲ. Histochemical demonstration of oxidative enzymes, phosphorylase and glycogen in respiratory muscle fibers [PDF]
, 1966 1) Three different types of muscle fibers were clearly distinguished in the intercostal muscles and the diaphragm of human, cat and rat by histochemical demonstration of oxidative enzymes, phosphorylase and glycogen.

Impact of sarcopenia on diaphragm muscle fatigue [PDF]
Experimental Physiology, 2019 New Findings What is the central question of this study? Is the residual force generated by the diaphragm muscle after repeated activation reduced with sarcopenia, and is the residual force generated after fatiguing activation sufficient to sustain ventilatory behaviours of diaphragm muscle in young and old rats?

Increased levels of interleukin-6 exacerbate the dystrophic phenotype in mdx mice [PDF]
, 2015 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by progressive lethal muscle degeneration and chronic inflammatory response. The mdx mouse strain has served as the animal model for human DMD. However, while DMD patients undergo extensive necrosis, the

Power fatigue of the rat diaphragm muscle [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2000 We hypothesized that decrements in maximum power output (W˙max) of the rat diaphragm (Dia) muscle with repetitive activation are due to a disproportionate reduction in force (force fatigue) compared with a slowing of shortening velocity (velocity fatigue). Segments of midcostal Dia muscle were mounted in vitro (26°C) and stimulated directly at 75 Hz in

Nintedanib decreases muscle fibrosis and improves muscle function in a murine model of dystrophinopathy [PDF]
, 2018 Duchenne muscle dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive skeletal muscle weakness. Dystrophin deficiency induces instability of the sarcolemma during muscle contraction that leads to muscle necrosis and replacement of muscle by ...

Early phrenic motor neuron loss and transient respiratory abnormalities following unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion [PDF]
, 2013 Contusion-type cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most common forms of SCI observed in patients. In particular, injuries targeting the C3-C5 region affect the pool of phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) that innervates the diaphragm, resulting in ...
