Effects of chemical myosin II cross‐bridge inhibitors on eccentric force production in skinned muscle fibres

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Eccentric muscle contractions are essential for locomotion and daily activities. Force during these contractions depends on both cross‐bridge (XB) and non‐cross‐bridge (non‐XB) elements, including titin, with contributions varying by fibre type and contraction velocity.

Phosphate and acidosis cause fibre‐typespecific changes to cellular and molecular contractile mechanics at 37°C in skeletal muscle from older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Intracellular accumulation of hydrogen ions (H+) and inorganic phosphate (Pi) has temperature‐dependent effects on single‐fibre contractile function between 10°C and 30°C. In vivo, human skeletal muscle temperatures range between 35‐39°C, and although contractile function is highly dependent on temperature, the effects of fatigue‐inducing [H+]

Exploring the properties of titin spring elements in whole myofibrils

, 2013
INTRODUCTIONTitin is the largest protein in animals and is primarily found in the sarcomeres of myofibrils. Titin acts as a spring anchored by actin at the z-line and holding myosin filaments centred in sarcomeres. Titin has long been accepted as a major

Determinants of maximal oxygen uptake in highly trained females and males: a mechanistic study of sex differences using advanced invasive methods

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The results from this study show that maximal cardiac output, stroke volume and leg blood flow are similar between highly trained females and males after normalisation to lean body mass (LBM). However, the 10% higher haemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) and arterial O2 content in males result in higher systemic and leg O2 delivery ...

Born early, age fast: Consequences of premature birth on chronic disease and accelerated ageing

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ELGANs are exposed to several postnatal pro‐oxidant stressors, including ambient and supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation, infections, hyperalimentation, excessive glucocorticoids and intermittent hypoxia. Since endogenous antioxidant defences are underdeveloped, this imbalance promotes oxidative stress and inflammation ...

Energetic microdomains and the vascular control of neuronal and muscle excitability: Toward a unified model

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The capillary–mitochondria–ion channel (CMIC) axis scales structural resources to match functional workload. (Left) In settings of restricted energetic capacity (e.g. cortical neurons), sparse capillary networks and modest mitochondrial pools set a lower energetic ceiling, sufficient to support phasic, low‐workload excitability.

Differences in Contractile Function of Myofibrils within Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Cardiomyocytes vs. Adult Ventricular Myofibrils Are Related to Distinct Sarcomeric Protein Isoforms

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Characterizing the contractile function of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) is key for advancing their utility for cellular disease models, promoting cell based heart repair, or developing novel pharmacological interventions ...

Human‐derived cardiac‐neural microtissues reveal catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is also a disease of the sympathetic neuron

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic diagram illustrating the proposed pathway in which regulatory defects might occur in sympathetic neurons derived from hiPSC in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Specifically, enhanced calcium transients appeared to derive from three sources: enhanced membrane excitability (due to loss of ...

Micromechanical function of myofibrils isolated from skeletal and cardiac muscles of the zebrafish

, 2011
The zebrafish is a potentially important and cost-effective model for studies of development, motility, regeneration, and inherited human diseases. The object of our work was to show whether myofibrils isolated from zebrafish striated muscle represent a ...
