Myofibrillar proteins exist as multiple isoforms that derive from multigene (isogene) families.
Additional isoforms, including products of tropomyosin, myosin light chain 1 fast, troponin T …

Contractile and energetic properties of human skeletal muscle have been studied for many
years in vivo in the body. It has been, however, difficult to identify the specific role of muscle …

In skeletal muscle, nebulin stabilizes and regulates the length of thin filaments, but the
underlying mechanism remains nebulous. In this work, we used cryo–electron tomography …

Lawrie's Meat Science has established itself as a standard work for both students and
professionals in the meat industry. Its basic theme remains the central importance of …

Among the fishes, a remarkably wide range of biological adaptations to diverse habitats has
evolved. As well as living in the conventional habitats of lakes, ponds, rivers, rock pools and …

Gain a well-rounded understanding of the principles underlying stretching and flexibility with
the updated third edition of Science of Flexibility. This practical text includes illustrated …

Experiments were carried out to test the effect of prolonged and repeated passive stretching
(RPS) of the triceps surae muscle on reflex sensitivity. The results demonstrated a clear …

A unique characteristic of skeletal muscle is its diversity. This diversity is created by its
design, ie, its fiber composition and the heterogeneity of the individual fibers. Indeed, we …

Postmortem (PM) and µ-calpain-induced degradation of specific skeletal muscle proteins
was monitored by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Samples were removed from bovine …

The Z-disc, appearing as a fine dense line forming sarcomere boundaries in striated
muscles, when studied in detail reveals crosslinked filament arrays that transmit tension and …
