Calcium currents in a fast-twitch skeletal muscle of the rat. [PDF]

The Journal of general physiology, 1983
Slow ionic currents were measured in the rat omohyoid muscle with the three-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. Sodium and delayed rectifier potassium currents were blocked pharmacologically. Under these conditions, depolarizing test pulses elicited an early outward current, followed by a transient slow inward current, followed in turn by a late ...

Effects of intermittent exposure to hypobaria and cold on the microarchitecture and morphofunctional profile of rat gastrocnemius muscle

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Intermittent hypobaric hypoxia (IHH) enhances oxygen transport, muscle metabolism, and cardiovascular health; however, the combined effects of hypobaria and cold are less well understood. Exposure to these stressful environmental factors, even intermittently, can affect skeletal muscle due to its plasticity, thereby altering its metabolic and ...

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

A Systematic Review of the Safety and Tolerability of Theta Burst Stimulation in Children and Adolescents

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is often used in clinical practice and research protocols for adults with neuropsychiatric disorders. There are substantial knowledge gaps related to the application of TBS in children and adolescents.

Insights into the heterogeneous muscle lipidome of dysferlin-deficient mice: effects of age, muscle type, and sex

Skeletal Muscle
Dysferlinopathy is an age-dependent muscular dystrophy caused by loss of the membrane-associated protein dysferlin. Disease severity increases with age and selectively affects specific muscle groups, yet the molecular basis for this vulnerability remains

SESN2 prevents the slow-to-fast myofiber shift in denervated atrophy via AMPK/PGC-1α pathway

Cellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2022
Background Sestrin2 (SESN2), a stress-inducible protein, has been reported to protect against denervated muscle atrophy through unfolded protein response and mitophagy, while its role in myofiber type transition remains unknown.

Chemical energetics of slow- and fast-twitch muscles of the mouse. [PDF]

The Journal of general physiology, 1982
The energy utilization associated with contraction was measured in isolated slow- and fast-twitch muscles of the mouse at 20 degrees C. The extent of this utilization was estimated from either the extent of high-energy phosphate splitting occurring during contraction (the initial chemical change, delta approximately P init) or from the extent of ...

Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Isometric contractions of motor units in a fast twitch muscle of the cat

The Journal of Physiology, 1973
1. Isosmetric contractions of cat flexor digitorum longus whole muscles and of functionally isolated motor units have been measured under conditions similar to those used by Buller & Lewis (1965a).2. Motor unit twitch time to peak was inversely related to axonal conduction velocity.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...
