Quantification of sarcomere length distribution in whole muscle frozen sections.
Laser diffraction (LD) is a valuable tool for measuring sarcomere length (Ls), a major determinant of muscle function. However, this method relies on few measurements per sample that are often extrapolated to whole muscle properties. Currently it is not possible to measure Ls throughout an entire muscle and determine how Ls varies at this scale. To address this issue, we developed an actuated L...
متن کاملIntraoperative single-site sarcomere length measurement accurately reflects whole-muscle sarcomere length in the rabbit.
PURPOSE To compare single-site intraoperative sarcomere length values with sarcomere lengths measured from systematic sampling of the entire transferred muscle. METHODS The tendon of the rabbit second toe extensor muscle was transposed to the ankle extensor retinaculum under levels of stretch over the sarcomere length range of about 2.5 microm to about 4.0 microm. Intraoperative sarcomere len...

متن کاملCooperative activation in cardiac muscle: impact of sarcomere length.
This study was undertaken to determine the impact of sarcomere length (SL) on the level of cooperative activation of the cardiac myofilament at physiological [Mg2+]. Active force development was measured in skinned rat cardiac trabeculae as a function of free [Ca2+] at five SLs (1.85-2.25 microm; 1 mM free [Mg2+]; 15 degrees C). Only muscle preparations with minimal force rundown during the ent...
متن کاملSarcomere length-tension relations in living rat papillary muscle.
Small papillary muscles about 2 mm long and 0.2 mm thick were dissected from the right ventricles of 16-19 day-old rats. Resting (between twitches) and active (at twitch peaks) striation patterns were photographed in living muscles using a light microscope. External muscle length was varied from Lmax, the length at which peak twitch tension was maximum, to 0.75Lmax, the length at which peak twi...
