Measurement of striated muscle fibre diameters using interactive computer-aided microscopy [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1982 We have measured muscle fibre diameters using two methods of interactive computer-aided microscopy. They are simple to perform, reproducible and more convenient than manual methods of measurement. The technique is of general application to histological measurement.

THE DIAMETER OF THE NERVE FIBRES TO THE EXTRINSIC EYE MUSCLES OF THE GOAT [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1960 Fibre analyses have been done on fifteen trochlear nerves, nine oculomotor nerves, five abducens nerves and seven branches of the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve, of the goat. In the motor nerves to the extrinsic eye muscles—the oculomotor, trochlear and abducens nerves—a significant group of small fibres has been found, with a range of 3–7

Muscle growth in Antarctic and Subantarctic notothenioid fishes
Scientia Marina, 2005 The suborder Notothenioidei comprises 122 species divided into 8 families, with members of 6 of the families living outside Antarctic waters. The Antarctic species underwent an extensive radiation from a small demersal ancestor to occupy different ...

Effect of Diameter on the Electrical Constants of Frog Skeletal Muscle Fibres
Nature, 1970 1. Electrical constants were determined on isolated single fibres or on fibres from bundles from frog's twitch muscles by analysing the low frequency cable properties.2. The sarcoplasmic conductivity (Gi) was 5·9 mmho/cm at 20° C, and its temperature coefficient (Q10) was 1·37.3.

Passive mechanical features of single fibers from human muscle biopsies – effects of storage
Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2008 Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of storage of human muscle biopsies on passive mechanical properties. Methods Stress-strain analysis accompanied by laser diffraction assisted sarcomere length measurement was performed ...

FHL1 activates myostatin signalling in skeletal muscle and promotes atrophy
FEBS Open Bio, 2015 Myostatin is a TGFβ family ligand that reduces muscle mass. In cancer cells, TGFβ signalling is increased by the protein FHL1. Consequently, FHL1 may promote signalling by myostatin. We therefore tested the ability of FHL1 to regulate myostatin function.
