Associations of muscle stiffness and thickness with muscle strength and muscle power in elderly women

Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2011
Aim:  The aims of this study were to investigate the influence of age on muscle stiffness and to examine the relationships among muscle stiffness, muscle thickness, subcutaneous fat thickness, muscle strength and muscle power in elderly women.Methods:  The subjects were 16 young (mean age 20.3 years) and 34 elderly (mean age 84.2 years) women.

Thickness of Subcutaneous Fat and Activity of Underlying Muscles

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1971
Abstract In order to subject the concept of "spot reduction" to critical examination we have compared the circumference and the thickness of subcutaneous fat at specific sites over the right and le...

Substructure of the thick filament of vertebrate striated muscle

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1974
Abstract The number of myosin molecules per 143 A cross bridge repeat in the thick filaments of rabbit psoas muscle was determined by two independent methods. First the molecular weight of isolated thick filaments was evaluated using a modification of the conventional particle counting technique.

Variation and Impact of Muscle Thickness

1978
Muscles largely differ in thickness due to the variation of their weight during growth, which results mainly from an increase in the diameter of muscle fibres. With increasing thickness, the morphological aspects of the perimysium network is changed. The thickness each muscle may present depends on the dimensions of the skeleton.

Structure of Limulus telson muscle thick filaments

Journal of Molecular Biology, 1981
Abstract Computer analysis of electron micrographs of negatively stained thick filaments isolated from the telson levator muscle of the horseshoe crab ( Limulus polyphemus ) has shown that they have a four-stranded helical structure. The repeating units along each helix have a bent extended shape (measuring approximately 20 nm × 8 nm × 8 nm) and are ...

PACKING OF MYOSIN MOLECULES IN MUSCLE THICK FILAMENTS

Cell Biology International, 2000
AbstractThe backbone of the myosin filament is an aggregate of α‐helical coiled coil myosin rods. Its surface forms a three‐stranded helix composed of myosin heads. Currently there is no adequate model to describe the organization of the myosin filament.

Thick Filaments in Unstretched Mammalian Smooth Muscle

Nature New Biology, 1971
THE controversy concerning the organization of myosin in mammalian smooth muscle was reviewed (Nature New Biology, 231, 225; 1971) at a time when the studies of Rice's laboratory and our own demonstrated a regular, quasi-rectangular array of thick filaments in guinea-pig taenia coli (TC) and rabbit portal-anterior mesenteric vein (MV), and, further ...

Thick filaments of striated muscle are laterally interconnected

Journal of Ultrastructure and Molecular Structure Research, 1988
Earlier reports from this and other laboratories indicated that thick filaments may be interconnected along their length by rung-like structures. This study was carried out to test whether these interconnections are genuine structures; whether they appear in different muscle types; and whether they arise from myosin cross-bridges.

Organization of myosin molecules in the muscle thick filament

Experientia, 1976
Tryptic treatment of muscle thick filaments reveals the underlying backbones of aggregatedl-meromyosin as a coli of 3 secondary filaments (helical repeat ∼ 130 nm) each in turn a coli of a 3 finer ones.

Masseter muscle thickness in hospitalised stroke patients.

Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2010
The aim of the study was to investigate the thickness of the masseter muscles in stroke patients when compared to a control group (CG). Hospitalised stroke patients (18 men, 13 women; age 69.0 +/- 12.7 years) were compared to a CG (13 men, 11 women; age 68.8 +/- 10.8 years) composed to correspond to in age, gender and dental state. The thickness of the
