Activation heat in various cross-striated muscles of Rana esculenta: microcalorimetric measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activation heat (AH) is an important component in energy balance of muscle contraction. It represents energy dissipation of biochemical processes enabling muscle in rest to perform contraction. According to our measurements on intact muscles, AH is 20% of initial heat production in twitch, and 10% in tetanus. Significantly different AH values have been obtained for muscles of parallel and not parallel fibre architecture.

Aspects of tail muscle ultrastructure and its degeneration in Rana temporaria.
1. Tail muscles of larval Rana temporaria and to a lesser extent Xenopus laevis, at prometamorphosis, were investigated by light and electron microscopy. In the case of Rana their degeneration is described at metamorphic climax. 2. The non-degenerate tail muscles of both genera are generally similar in their ultrastructure and likewise similar to those striated muscles of other adult vertebrate...
متن کاملJumping Performance of Frogs (rana Pipiens) as a Function of Muscle Temperature
This study was performed to determine whether or not the power generated by frog muscles during maximal jumps increases twoto three-fold with a 10 °C increase in temperature as it does in isolated preparations. We found that peak power increased 2-7-fold between 14 and 25 °C, and then remained constant to 30 °C. During jumps at 14 and 25 °C, the extensor muscles of the legs appeared to generate...
متن کاملIsometric contractile properties of sexually dimorphic forelimb muscles in the marine toad Bufo marinus Linnaeus 1758: functional analysis and implications for amplexus.
It has been shown in the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana Shaw 1802, that certain forelimb muscles in males have different contractile properties when compared with females, which may result from adaptation for amplexus. We extended this study to a distantly related species, Bufo marinus Linnaeus 1758, by testing the isometric contractile properties of three muscles, abductor indicus longus (AIL), an...
متن کاملMetal-film thermopiles for use with rabbit right ventricular papillary muscles.
A method of fabricating Hill-Downing type, planar thermopiles by vacuum-deposition techniques is described in detail. The present model was designed for initial heat measurements on rabbit papillary muscles as small as 1 mg blotted wt, but it is also suitable for small bundles of frog muscle fibers (30-75). The thermopile has 20 or 14 junctions, an active length of 5 or 3.5 mm, and an actual th...
متن کاملA reexamination of the thermoelastic effect in active striated muscle
Isolated Rana pipiens sartorius muscles at 0degreeC were stimulated via their nerves and small stretches or releases applied during the plateau of the isometric tetanus at lo. Extra heat above the isometric maintenance heat was produced during the drop in tension caused by release and, for very small releases (delta less than or equal to 0.5% lo), was completely reabsorbed during tension recove...
