The endogenous production of hydrogen sulphide in intrauterine tissues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background: Hydrogen sulphide is a gas signalling molecule which is produced endogenously from L-cysteine via the enzymes cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine gamma-lyase (CSE).

Spontaneous sarcomere dynamics [PDF]

open access: yesChaos 20, 0451222, (2010), 2012
Sarcomeres are the basic force generating units of striated muscles and consist of an interdigitating arrangement of actin and myosin filaments. While muscle contraction is usually triggered by neural signals, which eventually set myosin motors into motion, isolated sarcomeres can oscillate spontaneously between a contracted and a relaxed state.

Chemical Relaxation of a Binary Mechanical Model System [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
With potential relevance to biomechanics, an interesting problem in statistical mechanics not previously solved is a binary mechanical model system. Discrete chemical states of proteins are often associated with discrete metastable structural states, such that with a change in state a protein acts as a molecular switch.

Evaluation of centrally acting skeletal muscle relaxant activity of aqueous extract of Withania somnifera (ashwagandha) roots in albino mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Skeletal muscle relaxants are used to treat both muscle spasm and spasticity, acting both as antispasmodic and antispasticity agents. In past studies some polyherbal formulations containing ashwagandha have shown skeletal muscle relaxant ...

In-vitro antioxidant, lipoxygenase inhibitory, and in-vivo muscle relaxant potential of the extract and constituent isolated from Diospyros kaki (Japanese Persimmon)

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Diospyros kaki (Japanese persimmon) is cultivated specious of the Diospyros genus. D. kaki is a multi-medicinal application in the folk system for the cure of ischemic stroke, angina, atherosclerosis, muscle relaxation, internal hemorrhage, hypertension,

Clonazepam for pain due to muscle spasm in a patient with vertebral compression fractures caused by multiple myeloma: a case report

open access: yesJA Clinical Reports, 2021
Background Vertebral compression fractures can cause severe back pain. Although many types of analgesics and interventional treatments are available, they are sometimes ineffective in mitigating the pain.

Development and Evaluation of Nanoemulsion Loaded Metaxalone for the Treatment of Pain and Injury

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
Spasticity is a disorder characterized by an unnatural rise in muscular tone or stiffness, which may impair speech or movement and be accompanied by discomfort or pain.

Physically interacting humans regulate muscle coactivation to improve visuo-haptic perception [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
When moving a piano or dancing tango with a partner, how should I control my arm muscles to best feel their movements and follow or guide them smoothly? Here we observe how physically connected pairs tracking a moving target with the arm modify muscle coactivation with their visual acuity and the partners performance. They coactivate muscles to stiffen

ATP-induced reconfiguration of the micro-viscoelasticity of cardiac and skeletal myosin solutions [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
We study the high-frequency micro-mechanical response of suspensions composed by cardiac and skeletal muscle myosin by optical trapping interferometry. We observe that in low ionic strength solutions upon the addition of magnesium adenosine triphosphate (\ch{MgATP^2-}), myosin suspensions radically change their micro-mechanics properties, generating a ...
