Transverse forces in skeletal muscle with massage-like loading in a rabbit model
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to quantify the transverse forces in skeletal muscle subjected to constant compressive massage-like loading (MLL) following eccentric exercise (ECC). METHODS Twenty-eight New Zealand White rabbits were used for this two-part study. For all testing, a customized electromechanical device was utilized to apply a constant compressive force MLL to the tib...
متن کاملIn vivo passive mechanical properties of skeletal muscle improve with massage-like loading following eccentric exercise.
A quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) model was used to study passive time-dependent responses of skeletal muscle to repeated massage-like compressive loading (MLL) following damaging eccentric exercise. Six skeletally mature rabbits were surgically instrumented with bilateral peroneal nerve cuffs for stimulation of the hindlimb tibialis anterior (TA) muscles. Following the eccentric exercise, r...
متن کاملRabbit Skeletal Muscle Glycogen
Glycogen in its particulate beta-form is localized in the sarcoplasm close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Some particles are in close contact with the membranes, on the outer side of the vesicles. The mild technique of differential precipitation-centrifugation has been adapted to the preparation of glycogen from adult skeletal muscle. A preliminary low-speed centrifugation which eliminates the ...
متن کاملA novel atheroprotective role of MF59-like adjuvant when co-administered with CETP vaccine in rabbit model of atherosclerosis
Objective(s): In this study, for the first time, MF59 adjuvant was used to develop a cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) vaccine. The efficacy of the vaccine was compared with the efficacy of CETP vaccine formulated with Alum/CpG, the formulation that its immunogenicity has been already demonstrated in rabbit and mice. Materials and Methods: Tetanus toxoid- CETP peptide (TT-CETP) was mixe...
متن کاملPassive forces in mammalian skeletal muscle: a freely-jointed and worm-like chain.
The passive mechanical properties of whole muscle in active and nonactive states are compared. The experimental results are presented as stress-strain curves, which are analyzed in the framework of the current theoretical background [viz. the freely-jointed chain model (FJCM) and the worm-like chain model (WLCM)] in a semi-quantitative fashion. This analysis shows that both models can explain t...
