Contractile properties and fatigue of the diaphragm in man.

Contractile and fatigue properties of the rat diaphragm musculature during the perinatal period.

The following two hypotheses regarding diaphragm contractile properties in the perinatal rat were tested. First, there is a major transformation of contractile and fatigue properties during the period between the inception of inspiratory drive transmission in utero and birth. Second, the diaphragm muscle properties develop to functionally match changes occurring in phrenic motoneuron electrophy...

Effects of genetic obesity on rat upper airway muscle and diaphragm contractile properties.

The contractile properties of pharyngeal respiratory muscle are altered in sleep apnoea and in conditions associated with sleep apnoea, such as ageing. We hypothesized that the contractile properties of the pharyngeal musculature are also altered by obesity, another factor associated with sleep apnoea. Studies compared a pharyngeal muscle, the sternohyoid, with the diaphragm. These were chosen ...

Contractile function is unaltered in diaphragm from mice

Clancy, J. S., H. Takeshima, S. L. Hamilton, and M. B. Reid. Contractile function is unaltered in diaphragm from mice lacking calcium release channel isoform 3. Am. J. Physiol. 277 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 46): R1205–R1209, 1999.—Skeletal muscle expresses at least two isoforms of the calcium release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (RyR1 and RyR3). Whereas the function of RyR...
