[Rest tension-based characterization of isometric contractility of Bufo gastrocnemius ex vivo].
OBJECTIVE To characterize the isometric contractility of Bufo gastrocnemius ex vivo in light of the rest tension. METHODS Bufo gastrocnemius treated with SOD inhibitor and ascorbate was stimulated electrically (12 V DC, 2 ms duration with a 2 s interval) to record the tension within 10 min. Weighted fitting to the relaxation curve of the tension below 90% of the peak tension with a mono-expon...
متن کاملPhase-contrast MRI reveals mechanical behavior of superficial and deep aponeuroses in human medial gastrocnemius during isometric contraction.
The behavior of the entire medial gastrocnemius (MG) superficial and deep aponeurosis structure was investigated with velocity-encoded phase-contrast, spin-tag, and three-dimensional morphometric magnetic resonance imaging. The displacements and strain of both these aponeuroses, muscle length, and the cross-sectional segment length of the deep aponeurosis were measured during isometric plantarf...
متن کاملHuman carotid baroreflex during isometric lower arm contraction and ischemia.
Our aim was to determine the roles of somatomotor activation and muscle ischemia for the tachycardia and hypertension of isometric arm contraction. Carotid-cardiac and carotid-mean arterial pressure (MAP) baroreflex response curves were determined in 10 men during rest, during isometric arm contraction at 30% of maximum, and during postcontraction ischemia. Carotid distending pressure (CDP) was...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle transverse strain during isometric contraction at different lengths.
An important assumption in 2D numerical models of skeletal muscle contraction involves deformation in the third dimension of the included muscle section. The present paper studies the often used plane strain description. Therefore, 3D muscle surface deformation is measured from marker displacements during isometric contractions at various muscle lengths. Longitudinal strains at superficial musc...
متن کاملDifferential displacement of the human soleus and medial gastrocnemius aponeuroses during isometric plantar flexor contractions in vivo.
The human triceps surae muscle-tendon complex is a unique structure with three separate muscle compartments that merge via their aponeuroses into the Achilles tendon. The mechanical function and properties of these structures during muscular contraction are not well understood. The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which differential displacement occurs between the aponeuros...
