Sequential disassembly of vertebrate muscle thick filaments
Journal of Molecular Biology, 1980Abstract Native thick filaments from rabbit psoas muscle have been sequentially dissolved by incremental rises in salt concentration. Three quite separate stages of depolymerization can be detected; these presumably reflect constraints imposed on the disassembly process by variations in the packing of myosin and by the presence of other thick ...

Effect of Range of Motion on Muscle Strength and Thickness
Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2012The purpose of this investigation was to compare partial range-of-motion vs. full range-of-motion upper-body resistance training on strength and muscle thickness (MT) in young men. Volunteers were randomly assigned to 3 groups: (a) full range of motion (FULL; n = 15), (b) partial range of motion (PART; n = 15), or (c) control (CON; n = 10).

Estimation of muscle atrophy based on muscle thickness in knee surgery patients
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2013SummaryThe purpose of this study was to establish an accurate estimation of muscle atrophy in the quadriceps femoris (QF) muscle group. Eighteen individuals who underwent meniscectomy participated in the study (nine men and nine women, mean age 44·4 years).

The effects of pressure biofeedback training on infraspinatus muscle activity and muscle thickness
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2018The aim of this study was to investigate muscle activity in the infraspinatus and posterior deltoid and infraspinatus muscle thickness during a prone external rotation (PER) exercise using pressure biofeedback. Fifteen healthy men participated in this study, performing PER exercise with pressure biofeedback under four conditions (comfortable, 2 mm Hg ...

Structure of the Myosin Thick Filaments in Muscle
Striated muscle is composed of overlapping arrays of thick myosin filaments and thin actin filaments. The thick filaments are composed of myosin molecules, which are hexamers of two heavy chains and two pairs of light chains. The heavy chain has an N-terminal head domain and a C-terminal helical rod domain.openaire +2 more sources
Ultrasound Assessment of Adductor Muscle Size Using Muscle Thickness of the Thigh
Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, 2012Context:Previous studies investigated the relationship between ultrasound-derived anatomical muscle thickness (MTH) and individual muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle volume in several limb and trunk muscles; however, the adductor muscle that contributes to hip adduction and pelvic stabilization, as well as balance ability, has not been ...

Absolute and relative changes in muscle thickness and muscle cross‐sectional area
Clinical Physiology and Functional ImagingAbstract Introduction Changes in muscle size are often measured as a change in muscle thickness (MT) or as a change in muscle cross‐sectional area (CSA). Differences in how muscles are measured is an important consideration as different absolute and relative changes in muscle size may carry ...

The Thick Filament of Vertebrate Striated Muscle
2002Contraction in mammalian skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle occurs through a sliding filament mechanism involving two sets of interdigitating filaments: the myosin containing thick filaments and the actin-containing thin filaments (Huxley and Hanson, 1954; Huxley and Niedergerke, 1954; Davies, 1963; Squire, 1981). Interaction between these filaments to
