How physical exercise changes rat myotendinous junctions: an ultrastructural study
Myotendinous junctions can be easily injured by overloading or trauma, and exercise training may be a way of increasing their resistance to mechanical stress. To this end, we examined herein the morphological changes induced by moderate exercise training in the myotendinous junctions of extensor digitorum longus and gastrocnemius muscles in rats. Twelve Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this inv...
متن کاملGrowth Hormone Plus Resistance Exercise Attenuate Structural Changes in Rat Myotendinous Junctions Resulting from Chronic Unloading
Myotendinous junctions (MTJs) are specialized sites on the muscle surface where forces generated by myofibrils are transmitted across the sarcolemma to the extracellular matrix. At the ultrastructural level, the interface between the sarcolemma and extracellular matrix is highly folded and interdigitated at these junctions. In this study, the effect of exercise and growth hormone (GH) treatment...
متن کاملThe human myotendinous junction: an ultrastructural and 3D analysis study.
The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a specialized structure in the musculotendinous system, where force is transmitted from muscle to tendon. Animal models have shown that the MTJ takes form of tendon finger-like processes merging with muscle tissue. The human MTJ is largely unknown and has never been described in three dimensions (3D). The aim of this study was to describe the ultrastructure of...
متن کاملTalin at myotendinous junctions
Junctions formed by skeletal muscles where they adhere to tendons, called myotendinous junctions, are sites of tight adhesion and where forces generated by the cell are placed on the substratum. In this regard, myotendinous junctions and focal contacts of fibroblasts in vitro are analogues. Talin is a protein located at focal contacts that may be involved in force transmission from actin filame...
متن کاملHow methylglyoxal kills bacteria: An ultrastructural study.
Antibacterial activity of honey is due to the presence of methylglyoxal (MGO), H2O2, bee defensin as well as polyphenols. High MGO levels in manuka honey are the main source of antibacterial activity. Manuka honey has been reported to reduce the swarming and swimming motility of Pseudomonas aeruginosa due to de-flagellation. Due to the complexity of honey it is unknown if this effect is directl...
