Cromakalim (BRL 34915) restores in vitro the membrane potential of depolarized human skeletal muscle fibres [PDF]
, 1989 The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915), a potent drug from a new class of drugs characterized as K+ channel openers, on the electrical activity of human skeletal muscle.

L-type Ca2+ channel function is linked to dystrophin expression in mammalian muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND: In dystrophic mdx skeletal muscle, aberrant Ca2+ homeostasis and fibre degeneration are found. The absence of dystrophin in models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) has been connected to altered ion channel properties e.g.

A novel staining method for quantification and 3D visualisation of capillaries and muscle fibres
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009 The aim of this study was to introduce a combined fluorescent staining that clearly demonstrates capillaries and distinguishes them from the basal lamina of muscle fibres in skeletal muscle tissue.

PLoS ONE, 2016 Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe and currently incurable progressive neuromuscular condition, caused by mutations in the DMD gene that result in the inability to produce dystrophin. Lack of dystrophin leads to loss of muscle fibres and a reduction

Two functionally different muscle fibre types in some salps?
Scientia Marina, 1998 This paper describes the structure and operation of the fibres in the locomotor muscle bands of several salp species. In many species, for example Thalia democratica or Pegea confoederata, all the muscle fibres of the locomotor muscle bands are similar ...

R-spondin3 is a myokine that differentiates myoblasts to type I fibres
Scientific Reports, 2022 Muscle fibres are broadly categorised into types I and II; the fibre-type ratio determines the contractile and metabolic properties of skeletal muscle tissue.

Scaling of Muscle Fibres and Locomotion [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1992 ABSTRACT To reconcile the scaling of the mechanics and energetics of locomotion to recent data on the scaling of the mechanics of muscle fibres, I have extended the theory of Taylor and colleagues that the energetic cost of locomotion is determined by the cost of generating force by the fibres. By assuming (1) that the cost of generating

CAPILLARY NETWORK IN SLOW AND FAST MUSCLES AND IN OXIDATIVE AND GLYCOLYTIC MUSCLE FIBRES
Image Analysis and Stereology, 2011 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

Respiratory muscle fibres: specialisation and plasticity [PDF]
Thorax, 2004 Skeletal muscles are composed of fibres of different types, each type being identified by the isoform of myosin heavy chain which is expressed as slow 1, fast 2A, fast 2X, and fast 2B. Slow fibres are resistant to fatigue due to their highly oxidative metabolism whereas 2X and 2B fibres are easily fatiguable and fast 2A fibres exhibit intermediate ...

Changes in tetrodotoxin-resistant C-fibre activity during fatiguing isometric contractions in the rat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 It is by now well established that tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-R) afferent fibres from muscle in the rat exhibit a multisensitive profile, including nociception.
