Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...

Peptic digestion of beef myofibrils is modified by prior marination
Food & Nutrition Research, 2013 Background: Preparatory steps such as seasoning, marination, and cooking may induce changes in meat which affects the ability of the stomach to adequately digest it.

Nature Communications, 2021 Mitochondria produce high amounts of ATP to power myosin motors and sustained muscle contraction. Here, the authors show that during development, muscles coordinate the morphogenesis of their myofibrils directly with their mitochondria to optimize both ...

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explored fasting‐induced physiological remodeling effects on meat quality in aged laying hens. Fasting for 15 days (F15) significantly reduced abdominal fat, intermuscular fat width, subcutaneous fat thickness, and liver index versus pre‐fasting (F0) (p < 0.05), which recovered post‐refeeding.

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Directionality of developing skeletal muscles is set by mechanical forces
Nature Communications, 2023 Formation of oriented myofibrils is a key event in musculoskeletal development. However, the mechanisms that drive myocyte orientation and fusion to control muscle directionality in adults remain enigmatic.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

EXERCISE MYOPATHY: CHANGES IN MYOFIBRILS OF FAST-TWITCH MUSCLE FIBRES
Biology of Sport, 2014 The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationships between the changes of myofibrils in fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (type IIA) fibres and fast-twitch glycolytic (type IIB) muscle fibres, protein synthesis and degradation rate in ...

Theoretical considerations on myofibril stiffness
Biophysical Journal, 1997 A discrete model of the interaction between individual myofilaments was developed to study the stiffness of a sarcomere for the case in which filament compliance is not negligible. Our model retains, in the limit, the characteristics of the previously published model by Ford et al. (Ford, L. E., A. F. Huxley, and R. M. Simmons. 1981.
