Water and Muscle Contraction [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2008 The interaction between water and the protein of the contractile machinery as well as the tendency of these proteins to form geometrically ordered structures provide a link between water and muscle contraction. Protein osmotic pressure is strictly related to the chemical potential of the contractile proteins, to the stiffness of muscle structures and ...

Troponin through the looking-glass: emerging roles beyond regulation of striated muscle contraction
OncoTarget, 2017 Troponin is a heterotrimeric Ca2+-binding protein that has a well-established role in regulating striated muscle contraction. However, mounting evidence points to novel cellular functions of troponin, with profound implications in cancer, cardiomyopathy ...

The efficiency of muscle contraction
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2005 When a muscle contracts and shortens against a load, it performs work. The performance of work is fuelled by the expenditure of metabolic energy, more properly quantified as enthalpy (i.e., heat plus work). The ratio of work performed to enthalpy produced provides one measure of efficiency.

Increased duration of co-contraction of medial knee muscles is associated with greater progression of knee osteoarthritis [PDF]
, 2015 Background: As knee osteoarthritis (OA) cannot be cured, treatments that slow structural disease progression are a priority. Knee muscle activation has a potential role in OA pathogenesis.

Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation, 2017 High-intensity eccentric muscle contraction induces muscle damage. Damaged muscles recover through different processes, including degeneration, inflammation, regeneration, and fibrosis; some of these processes are mediated through the actions of ...

The Mechanism of Muscle Contraction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1974 Muscular contraction is essentially the shortening of the S 2 subunits of heavy meromyosin, integrated to macroscopic motion by the thick and thin filaments.

Enhancement of K+ conductance improves in vitro the contraction force of skeletal muscle in hypokalemic periodic paralysis [PDF]
, 1990 An abnormal ratio between Na+ and K+ conductances seems to be the cause for the depolarization and paralysis of skeletal muscle in primary hypokalemic periodic paralysis.
