Maximal isometric forces during both twitch and tetanus are largely temperature independent in muscles from both endothermic and ectothermic vertebrates. Anuran muscle can develop maximal force at lower temperatures than mammalian muscle. Tetanic tension is maximal at normally experienced body temperatures in a variety of animals, but twitch tension seldom is. Thermal dependence of twitch tensi...

Cell signaling is determined partially by the localization and abundance of proteins. Dystroglycan integrin are both transmembrane receptors that connect cytoskeleton inside muscle cells to extracellular matrix outside cells, maintaining proper adhesion function muscle. The position relative integrins thought be important for function. subcellular quantification these receptor proteins can at n...

Purpose: To investigate the effect of single session Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) over the ankle plantar flexor muscles on the spasticity, muscle architecture, and gait in chronic stroke patients. Methods: This quasi-experimental, single group study had a repeated measures design. A total of 17 post-stroke patients were selected by convenience sampling method, and received 2000 sho...

introduction: we did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. methods: four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. results: based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both arteries. in ab...

skeletal muscle may develop adaptive chaperone and enhancementdefense system through daily exercisestimulation. the present study investigated resistance and exhaustion training alters the expression of chaperoneproteins. these proteins function to maintain homeostasis, facilitate repair from injury and provide protection. exercise-induced production of hsps in skeletal muscle and peripheral le...

One of the most toxic effects of organophosphate (OP) poisoning has been the paralysis of skeletal muscles that can lead to paralysis of respiratory muscles and death. However, oximes are the only antidotes available to reverse or prevent such toxic effects of OP insecticides and nerve chemical warfare agents. In the present research work, the effect of different concentrations of paraoxon (as ...

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in human body. Known for its primary role movement, also plays important roles regulating metabolism, maintaining body temperature and providing large stores of protein, carbohydrates fats. Muscle cells (known as ‘muscle fibres’) can rapidly adapt to exercise or disuse by changing size function. Many myths misconceptions have proliferated through year...
