Muscle Fibers, Skeletal - Physiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Muscle Fibers, Skeletal'Large, multinucleate single cells, either cylindrical or prismatic in shape, that form the basic unit of SKELETAL MUSCLE. They consist of MYOFIBRILS enclosed within and attached to the SARCOLEMMA. They are derived from the fusion of skeletal myoblasts (MYOBLASTS, SKELETAL) into a syncytium, followed by differentiation. Common names: Muscle Fibers, Skeletal; Fiber, Skeletal Muscle; Fibers, Skeletal Muscle; Muscle Fiber, Skeletal; Skeletal Muscle Fiber; Myotubes; Myotube; Skeletal Myocytes; Myocytes, Skeletal; Myocyte, Skeletal; Skeletal Myocyte; Skeletal Muscle Fibers |

Experiments were carried out to determine whether the location of electrodes has an effect on eccentric exercise-induced changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) variables in the biceps brachii muscle. sEMG signals were recorded with a grid of 64 ... Read more...
Transport stress in broilers: I. Blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality.
29 Sep 2009 The effect of transport stress on blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality in broilers was investigated. Arbor Acres chicks (n = 360, 1 d old, males) were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments: unstressed control, 45-min ... Read more...
Muscle regeneration: cellular and molecular events.
30 Aug 2009 Muscle injury induces strong changes in muscle cells and extracellular matrix. Muscle regeneration after injury has similarities to muscle development during embryogenesis and seems to follow the same procedure. The initial phase of muscle repair is ... Read more...
