Primary Structure of Parvalbumin from Rat Skeletal Muscle

Amino-acid sequence of parvalbumin from rabbit skeletal muscle.

Determination of the complete amino-acid sequence of rabbit skeletal muscle parvalbumin is described. The sequence of 86 of the 109 total residues was determined automatically by sequenator analyses of peptides obtained after cleavage with CNBr or with trypsin. The positions of the remaining 23 residues were determined by subtractive Edman degradation of tryptic and chymotryptic peptides. The p...

Colchicine protects rat skeletal muscle from ischemia/reperfusion injury by suppressing oxidative stress and inflammation

Objective(s): Neutrophils play an important role in ischemia/reperfusion (IR) induced skeletal muscle injury. Microtubules are required for neutrophil activation in response to various stimuli. This study aimed to investigate the effects of colchicine, a microtubule-disrupting agent, on skeletal muscle IR injury in a rat hindlimb ischemia model. Materials and Methods: Twenty-one Sprague-Dawley ...

Hexokinase type II from rat skeletal muscle.

Relations between Structure and Function in Rat Skeletal Muscle Fibers

The fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and the slow-twitch soleus muscle of the rat consist of heterogeneous fiber populations. EDL muscle fibers differ in size, mitochondrial content, myoglobin concentration, and thickness of the Z line. The sarcoplasmic reticulum, on the other hand, is richly developed in all fibers, with only small variation. Myofibrils are clearly circumscribed at ...

non-hodgkin lymphoma with primary involvement of skeletal muscle.

non-hodgkin lymphoma usually presents with generalized lymphadenopathy, but it can also involve any part of the human body. lymphomatous involvement of muscles is a rare presentation and has been reported to occur in only 1.1% in non-hodgkin lymphoma. here we, present a 32 year-old iranian man with primary involvement of spleen, bone, bone marrow and muscle, mimicking soft tissue sarcoma; core ...
