Chronic low-frequency stimulation transforms cat masticatory muscle fibers into jaw-slow fibers.
Cat masticatory muscle during regeneration expresses masticatory-specific myofibrillar proteins upon innervation by a fast muscle nerve but acquires the jaw-slow phenotype when innervated by a slow muscle nerve. Here, we test the hypothesis that chronic low-frequency stimulation simulating impulses from the slow nerve can result in masticatory-to-slow fiber-type transformation. In six cats, the...
متن کاملMasticatory myosin unveiled: first determination of contractile parameters of muscle fibers from carnivore jaw muscles.
Masticatory myosin heavy chain (M MyHC) is a myosin subunit isoform with expression restricted to muscles derived from the first branchial arch, such as jaw-closer muscles, with pronounced interspecies variability. Only sparse information is available on the contractile properties of muscle fibers expressing M MyHC (M fibers). In this study, we characterized M fibers isolated from the jaw-close...
متن کاملStructural changes in single muscle fibers after stimulation at a low frequency
Direct stimulation of single muscle fibers from Xenopus laevis at a frequency of 1 Hz results in a decline of the peak isometric twitch tension after about 200 twitches. Fibers were chemically fixed in glutaraldehyde after a varying number of twitches and at several fatigue levels, and the ultrastructural appearance was compared with that of resting fibers treated by identical fixation methods....

متن کاملShort-range stiffness of slow fibers and twitch fibers in reptilian muscle.
The semitendinous muscle of the lizard Tilique contains both slow and twitch fibers; by subdivision of its motor nerve, fibers of each type may be stimulated separately. When, during repetitive stimulation of nerve filaments, the muscle was lengthened or shortened, the tension changes included an initial short-range stiffness, followed by a later compliance. With increasing velocities of moveme...
