Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established
during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later …

Repeated, intense use of muscles leads to a decline in performance known as muscle
fatigue. Many muscle properties change during fatigue including the action potential …

In electrically nonexcitable cells, Ca2+ influx is essential for regulating a host of kinetically
distinct processes involving exocytosis, enzyme control, gene regulation, cell growth and …

The X-linked muscle-wasting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations
in the gene encoding dystrophin. There is currently no effective treatment for the disease; …

Mammalian skeletal muscle shows an enormous variability in its functional features such as
rate of force production, resistance to fatigue, and energy metabolism, with a wide spectrum …

Muscle damage in mdx (dystrophic) mice: The role of calcium and reactive oxygen species
Page 1 Proceedings of the Australian Physiological Society (2005) 36: 111-117 http://www.aups.org.au/Proceedings/36/111-117 …

Duchenne muscular dystrophy results from the lack of dystrophin, a cytoskeletal protein
associated with the inner surface membrane, in skeletal muscle. The absence of dystrophin …

To estimate calpain proteolysis, we measured the hydrolysis rate of a fluorogenic calpain
substrate in individual resting normal and dystrophic mdx mouse myotubes in culture …

ABSTRACT S tormorken syndrome is a rare autosomal‐dominant disease with mild
bleeding tendency, thrombocytopathy, thrombocytopenia, mild anemia, asplenia, tubular …

To examine whether a capacitative Ca2+ entry pathway is present in skeletal muscle, thin
muscle fibre bundles were isolated from extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of adult …
