An electrooptical muscle contraction sensor [PDF]
An electrooptical sensor for the detection of muscle contraction is described. Infrared light is injected into the muscle, the backscattering is observed, and the contraction is detected by measuring the change, that occurs during muscle contraction ...

Chemical changes in the adductor muscle of the cheliped of the crayfish in relation to the double motor innervation [PDF]
Work from this laboratory has shown that a number of the striated muscles of the legs of the crayfish show a typical motor innervation (1). Such muscles are innervated by two motor fibers only, each causing a different type of contraction.

RyR1-targeted drug discovery pipeline integrating FRET-based high-throughput screening and human myofiber dynamic Ca2+ assays. [PDF]
Elevated cytoplasmic [Ca2+] is characteristic in severe skeletal and cardiac myopathies, diabetes, and neurodegeneration, and partly results from increased Ca2+ leak from sarcoplasmic reticulum stores via dysregulated ryanodine receptor (RyR) channels ...

Glycolysis Mediated Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Ca Signal Regulates Mitochondria Ca during Skeletal Muscle Contraction [PDF]
PURPOSE This study was to investigate the Glycolysis mediated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ signal regulates mitochondria Ca2+ during skeletal muscle contraction by using glycolysis inhibitor.

Endurance training facilitates myoglobin desaturation during muscle contraction in rat skeletal muscle. [PDF]
At onset of muscle contraction, myoglobin (Mb) immediately releases its bound O2 to the mitochondria. Accordingly, intracellular O2 tension (PmbO2) markedly declines in order to increase muscle O2 uptake (mVO2).

Myosin filaments in vertebrate striated muscle have a long roughly cylindrical backbone with cross-bridge projections on the surfaces of both halves except for a short central bare zone. In the middle of this central region the filaments are cross-linked

Activation analysis of the lower limb muscles of cyclists during pedaling
It is important to elucidate the lower limb motion based on the activation of lower limb muscles during pedaling to improve pedaling performance of cyclists.

Unlike electron microscopy, which can achieve very high resolution but to date can only be used to study static structures, time-resolved X-ray diffraction from contracting muscles can, in principle, be used to follow the molecular movements involved in ...
