Effects of membrane potential on mechanical activation in skeletal muscle
The effect of subthreshold depolarization on mechanical threshold was investigated in tetrodotoxin-poisoned mammalian and amphibian skeletal muscle fibers using a two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. Mechanical threshold was determined with a 2-ms test pulse. The immediate effect of depolarization was inhibition of the mechanical system. The consequent increase in the test pulse threshol...
متن کاملEffects of membrane potential on the capacitance of skeletal muscle fibers
A method for measuring muscle fiber capacitance using small test pulses applied with the three-microelectrode voltage clamp is presented. Using this method, three membrane potential-dependent changes in capacitance were observed: (a) Capacitance of polarized fibers increased by 5--15% with depolarization from V less then -100 mV to voltages slightly below the contraction threshold. (b) Capacita...
متن کاملEffects of activation pattern on nonisometric human skeletal muscle performance.
During volitional muscle activation, motor units often fire with varying discharge patterns that include brief, high-frequency bursts of activity. These variations in the activation rate allow the central nervous system to precisely control the forces produced by the muscle. The present study explores how varying the instantaneous frequency of stimulation pulses within a train affects nonisomet...
متن کاملEffects of activation pattern on human skeletal muscle fatigue.
Variable-frequency stimulation trains (VFTs) that take advantage of the catchlike property of skeletal muscle have been shown to augment the force production of fatigued muscles compared with constant-frequency trains (CFTs). The present study is the first to report the force augmentation produced by VFTs after fatiguing the muscle with VFTs versus fatiguing the muscle with CFTs. Data were obta...
