Contractile properties of mouse single muscle fibers, a comparison with amphibian muscle fibers.
Single fibers, 25-40 microm wide and 0.5-0.7 mm long, were isolated from the flexor digitorum brevis muscle of the mouse. Force and movement were recorded (21-27 degrees C) from the fiber as a whole and, in certain experiments, from a short marked segment that was held at constant length by feedback control. The maximum tetanic force, 368+/-57 kN/m2 (N = 10), was not significantly different fro...
متن کاملMechanical properties of skinned single muscle fibers crosslinked with glutaraldehyde.
It was shown earlier (Mikawa 1979; Prochniewicz 1979) that crosslinking of thin filaments in vitro by glutaraldehyde can "'freeze'" their structure either in the activated (in the presence of Ca"-ions) or depressed (in the absence of C a t ions) state. This treatment does not inhibit the ability of actin to bind to myosin heads and to activate myosin ATPase (Lehrer 1981; Prochniewicz-Nakayama a...
متن کاملMyosin Isoforms and Contractile Properties of Single Fibers of Human Latissimus Dorsi Muscle
The aim of our study was to investigate fiber type distribution and contractile characteristics of Latissimus Dorsi muscle (LDM). Samples were collected from 18 young healthy subjects (9 males and 9 females) through percutaneous fine needle muscle biopsy. The results showed a predominance of fast myosin heavy chain isoforms (MyHC) with 42% of MyHC 2A and 25% of MyHC 2X, while MyHC 1 represented...
متن کاملAge-related changes in contractile properties of single skeletal fibers from the soleus muscle.
Peak absolute force, specific tension (peak absolute force per cross-sectional area), cross-sectional area, maximal unloaded shortening velocity (Vo; determined by the slack test), and myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform compositions were determined in 124 single skeletal fibers from the soleus muscle of 12-, 24-, 30-, 36-, and 37-mo-old Fischer 344 Brown Norway F1 Hybrid rats. All fibers expresse...
متن کاملContractile properties of rat single muscle fibers and myosin and troponin isoform expression after hypergravity.
The effects of 19 days of hypergravity (HG) were investigated on the biochemical and physiological properties of the slow soleus muscle and its fast agonist, the plantaris. HG was induced by rotational centrifugation that led to a 2-G gravity level. The HG rats were characterized by a slower body growth than control, whereas the soleus muscle mass was increased by 15%. Using electrophoretic tec...
