Optimizing the methodology for precise estimation of skeletal muscle fiber type proportions in humans

Scientific Reports
Isolating individual muscle fibers and characterizing their myosin heavy chain (MHC) content using SDS-PAGE has become an increasingly common method for describing skeletal muscle fiber type proportions.

Functional and Structural Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle to Microgravity [PDF]

, 2001
Our purpose is to summarize the major effects of space travel on skeletal muscle with particular emphasis on factors that alter function. The primary deleterious changes are muscle atrophy and the associated decline in peak force and power.

Actin, α-actinin, and tropomyosin interaction in the structural organization of actin filaments in nonmuscle cells [PDF]

, 1975
During the spreading of a population of rat embryo cells, approximately 40% of the cells develop a strikingly regular network which precedes the formation of the straight actin filament bundles seen in the fully spread out cells.

Muscle Fatigue from the Perspective of a Single Crossbridge [PDF]

, 2016
The repeated intense stimulation of skeletal muscle rapidly decreases its force- and motion-generating capacity. This type of fatigue can be temporally correlated with the accumulation of metabolic by-products, including phosphate (Pi) and protons (H ...

Slow and Fast Muscle Fibers [PDF]

, 1966
On the basis of the clear-cut differentiation used in fast (twitch) and slow (tonic) muscles of the frog, both the fast E.D.L. and the slow soleus muscle should be considered twitch muscles.
