Functional and Structural Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle to Microgravity [PDF]
Our purpose is to summarize the major effects of space travel on skeletal muscle with particular emphasis on factors that alter function. The primary deleterious changes are muscle atrophy and the associated decline in peak force and power.

Computed microtomographic imaging of revascularization during healing of Achilles tendon injury
This study explores the role of vascularization in tendon healing by comparing physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Using micro‐CT imaging, we identified distinct changes in vascular organization following injury, highlighting the dynamic interplay between angiogenesis and tendon pathology.

Acute and chronic changes in rat soleus muscle after high‐fat high‐sucrose diet
The effects of obesity on different musculoskeletal tissues are not well understood. The glycolytic quadriceps muscles are compromised with obesity, but due to its high oxidative capacity, the soleus muscle may be protected against obesity‐induced muscle

Effect of L-Arginine on Titin Expression in Rat Soleus Muscle After Hindlimb Unloading
Nitric oxide (NO), produced by NO-synthases via L-arginine oxidation, is an essential trigger for signaling processes involved in structural and metabolic changes in muscle fibers.

Skeletal muscle metabolism in hypokinetic rats [PDF]
Muscle growth, protein metabolism, and amino acid metabolism were studied in various groups of rats. Certain groups were adrenaliectomized; some rats were suspended while others (the controls) were weight bearing. Results show that: (1) metabolic changes

Interaponeurosis shear strain modulates behavior of myotendinous junction of the human triceps surae. [PDF]
Muscle fascicles insert into a sheet-like aponeurosis. Adjacent aponeuroses are structurally in contact with each other, and ultimately merge into a common tendon. Consequently, fascicle shortening in planes of tissue layers in adjacent compartments must

Muscle receptors in the cross‐reinnervated soleus muscle of the cat
1. Discharges have been recorded from afferents of the soleus muscle following reinnervation by the nerve of a fast twitch muscle, extensor digitorum longus. Recordings were made 227‐449 d post‐operatively.2. The gross afferent discharge from the cross‐reinnervated soleus suggested the presence of fewer mechanosensitive receptors than in normal muscles,

This study used shear‐wave elastography to assess Achilles tendon and calf muscle stiffness following acute lateral ankle sprain (LAS). Despite the expected alterations due to injury and unloading, no significant stiffness changes were observed over 6 weeks. Findings suggest potential compensatory mechanisms preserving tissue mechanical properties post‐

The presence of accessory soleous muscle in humans
OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence of the accessory soleus muscle in humans and according to gender. METHODS: A total of 154 magnetic resonance images of the ankle were assessed in T1 weighted sagittal, coronal and axial planes. RESULTS: An incidence of

The nerves to the plantaris muscle and a bipennate part of the soleus muscle
We performed nerve fiber analysis of the nerve to the plantaris muscle in ten cases. Macroscopically, the nerve to the plantaris muscle has a tendency to branch off from the tibial nerve itself independent of the nerves to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles (the triceps surae muscle). After removing the epineurium of the tibial nerve, it was revealed
