Fasting and Refeeding Mediated Phospholipid Remodeling Plays an Important Role in Improving Meat Quality of Aged Laying Hens

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.

Reversible MM-creatine kinase binding to cardiac myofibrils

, 1987
Skinned rat papillary muscles and purified preparations of rat cardiac myofibrils were used to study the nature of the interaction of creatine kinase with cardiac myofibrils.

Action of neuwiedase, a metalloproteinase isolated from Bothrops neuwiedi venom, on skeletal muscle: an ultrastructural and immunocytochemistry study

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2010
The damaging effects of neuwiedase, a non-hemorrhagic snake venom metalloproteinase from P-I class, on gastrocnemius muscle are studied herein. Following neuwiedase injection, ultrastructural alterations were detected early showing disarrangement of ...

Titin Is Present in the Elastic Tethers That Connect Separating Anaphase Chromosomes in Crane‐Fly Spermatocytes

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Elastic tethers connect telomeres of separating chromosomes in anaphase of animal cells. Immunofluorescence staining of titin in crane‐fly spermatocytes, using 4 different antibodies, shows that the giant elastic protein titin seems to be a component of mitotic tethers: titin “strands” extend between separating chromosomes, connecting their ...

Effect of Exercise on Number of Myofibrils per Fiber in Sartorius Muscle of the Rat

, 1958
The number of myofibrils per fiber at seven different cross-sectional levels of the sartorius muscles of exercised rats was compared with the number of myofibrils per fiber of the sartorius muscles of unexercised control animals.

Assembly of the giant protein projectin during myofibrillogenesis in Drosophila indirect flight muscles

BMC Cell Biology, 2004
Background Projectin is a giant modular protein of Drosophila muscles and a key component of the elastic connecting filaments (C-filaments), which are involved in stretch activation in insect Indirect Flight Muscles.

Unconventional myosins muscle into myofibrils [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2019
"Myosin" is famous as a component of muscle fibrils, but the majority of myosin family members act elsewhere with roles unrelated to muscle contraction. The biological functions of a relatively new family of these unconventional myosins, myosins 18A and 18B, are poorly understood. New research from Horsthemke et al.

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 ...

Sarcomere Stiffness during Stretching and Shortening of Rigor Skeletal Myofibrils

, 2017
In this study, we measured the stiffness of skeletal muscle myofibrils in rigor. Using a custom-built atomic force microscope, myofibrils were first placed in a rigor state then stretched and shortened at different displacements (0.1-0.3 mu m per ...

Direct depressant effect of phosphodiesterase inhibitors on ATPase activity of rat cardiac myofibrils

, 1995
The aim of this study was to determine (i) whether phosphodiesterase inhibitors influenced ATPase activity of maximally calcium activated cardiac myofibrils and (ii) whether this effect varied in relation to isomyosin composition.
