Muscle fibre denervation in ageing. [PDF]
Abstract Muscle fibre denervation describes the loss of effective neural input from a motor neuron to one or more muscle fibres. In ageing, denervation is increasingly recognised as an important contributor to progressive declines in muscle strength and functional capacity, yet it remains heterogeneous and difficult to define in ...

Background Skeletal muscle is an important organ for health and movement, largely driven by specific muscle fibres. However, the comparison of fibre-type-specific DNA methylation and protein abundance from the same sample presents challenges.

Cellular and molecular studies of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.) [PDF]
Cellular and molecular mechanisms of postembryonic muscle fibre recruitment were investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio L.), a standard animal model for developmental and genetic studies.

CAPILLARY NETWORK IN SLOW AND FAST MUSCLES AND IN OXIDATIVE AND GLYCOLYTIC MUSCLE FIBRES
The aim of this study was to compare capillary network in slow and fast muscles and also in oxidative and glycolytic muscle fibres. Soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were excised from five female rats. Capillaries and muscle fibres

Fusion of myofibre branches is a physiological feature of healthy human skeletal muscle regeneration
Background The occurrence of hyperplasia, through myofibre splitting, remains a widely debated phenomenon. Structural alterations and fibre typing of skeletal muscle fibres, as seen during regeneration and in certain muscle diseases, can be challenging ...

This paper describes a method that represents a muscle by a realistic chaff of muscle fibres that are automatically generated in the volume defined by the surface mesh of the muscle which itself automatically wraps around bones as they move. Our C++ implementation can decompose the volume into muscle fibres, which is done by a slice-by-slice morphing ...

Mammalian Intrafusal Muscle Fibres [PDF]
RECENT histological investigations of cat muscle spindles1–8 have established the presence of two types of muscle fibre, the large nuclear-bag fibres and the smaller and more numerous nuclear-chain fibres (Fig. 1A). Boyd3 maintains that each type of muscle fibre receives its own pattern of innervation, there being, in particular, a segregation in the ...

An understanding of muscle fibre images [PDF]
Images of muscle biopsies reveal a mosaic pattern of two (slow-twitch and fast-twitch) fibre-types. An analysis of such images can indicate some neuromuscular disorder. We briefly review some methods which analyse the arrangement of the fibres (e.g. clustering of fibre type) and the fibre sizes.

Background Mammalian skeletal muscles consist of two main fibre types: slow‐twitch (type I, oxidative) and fast‐twitch (type IIa, fast oxidative; type IIb/IIx, fast glycolytic).
