1. Evaluation of the electromyographic signal and the histomorphometry of vastus lateralis muscle in different electrodes placement, intensities of contraction and genders / Avaliação do sinal eletromiografico e da histomorfometria do musculo vasto lateral em diferentes posicionamentos de eletrodos, intensidades de contração e generos
It has been shown that electromyography signal (EMGs) and histomorphometry are different along the muscle belly and between genders, although the relationship between these parameters is not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the EMGs in different intensities of volunteer isometric muscle contraction (10-100%) and electrodes positions over the bell

2. Caracterização da distribuição da miosina rápida, lenta e híbrida na musculatura da mastigação / Characterization of fast, slow and hybrid fibers in masticatory muscles
Introdução: Os músculos da mastigação masseter, temporal, pterigóideo medial e pterigóideo lateral são componentes essenciais do sistema estomatognático. A mastigação decorre da movimentação destes músculos. Além da função fisiológica, os músculos da mastigação estão envolvidos na disfunção temporomandibular (DTM) que é importante ca

3. Cyclosporin A preferentially attenuates skeletal slow-twitch muscle regeneration
Calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, is associated with muscle regeneration via NFATc1/GATA2-dependent pathways. However, it is not clear whether calcineurin preferentially affects the regeneration of slow- or fast-twitch muscles. We investigated the effect of a calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporin A (CsA), on the morphology and fiber diameter

4. Analise fenotipica do musculo semitendinoso de ratos wistar e os efeitos do treinamento intervalado sobre suas fibras musculares
In general, the skeletal muscles are formed to several muscle fiber types that are able to express different kinds of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms. The MHCI, IIa, IId and IIb will establish the pure muscle fibers of the type I, IIA, IID and IIB, respectively and, among them there are the hybrid fibers that can express two or more MHC types. In this work

5. Estudo da interação da veratrina com o musculo esqueletico por metodos histoquimicos, ultraestruturais e bioquimicos
Veratrine, a commercial extract from the South and Central America plant Schoenocaulon officinale (Liliaceae), activates voltage-dependent Na + channels to produce persistent depolarization and an increase in sodium ion penneability in muscle fibers or nerves. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the veratrine aIkaloid on skeletal muscle o

6. Ação do veneno total de Bothrops pirajai e de suas frações miotoxicas piratoxinas I e III sobre a musculatura esqueletica : estudos in vitro
Several reasons can be cited which motivate the study of natural substances such as the characterization of the active principles and its biological effects. Among them, the ophidic venoms stand out because it is common the occurrence of accidental envenomation after snake bites in tropical countries. In Brazil, ophidic accidents account for a major part in

7. Six1 and Eya1 Expression Can Reprogram Adult Muscle from the Slow-Twitch Phenotype into the Fast-Twitch Phenotype
Muscle fibers show great differences in their contractile and metabolic properties. This diversity enables skeletal muscles to fulfill and adapt to different tasks. In this report, we show that the Six/Eya pathway is implicated in the establishment and maintenance of the fast-twitch skeletal muscle phenotype. We demonstrate that the MEF3/Six DNA binding elem

8. Force-velocity characteristics for calcium-activated mammalian slow-twitch and fast-twitch skeletal fibers from the guinea pig.
Twitch fiber bundles from a slow (soleus) and a fast (extensor digitorum longus) mammalian muscle after mild chemical treatment were activated with calcium and relaxed in calcium-free solution. Like the electrically activated whole muscles, the force-velocity relationship was such that, at each relative load, the steady speed of shortening for the fast fiber

9. Expression of aquaporin-4 in fast-twitch fibers of mammalian skeletal muscle.
In this study we analyzed the expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in mammalian skeletal muscle. Immunohistochemical experiments revealed that affinity-purified AQP4 antibodies stained selectively the sarcolemma of fast-twitch fibers. By immunogold electron microscopy, little or no intracellular labeling was detected. Western blot analysis showed the presence of

10. Resting Membrane Potential and Ionic Distribution in Fast- and Slow-Twitch Mammalian Muscle
The resting membrane potential and intracellular potassium and sodium concentration of three guinea pig hind limb muscles were studied. These properties are related to the gross color, the speed of contraction, and the biochemically defined fiber type composing the muscle. The resting membrane potential and intracellular content were: white vastus (grossly w

11. On the role of actomyosin ATPases in regulation of ATP turnover rates during intense exercise.
Actomyosin ATPase is the dominant ATP sink during muscle work. Its catalytic capacities in fast-twitch oxidative glycolytic fibers have long been known to exceed by about 3-fold those of slow-twitch oxidative fibers, but the relative contributions to control of metabolic rates during exercise have never been closely examined. We compared fast-twitch oxidativ

12. Properties of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from fast twitch and slow twitch muscles
Skeletal muscle of guinea pigs is composed of at least three types of fibers which are distinguishable by their kinetic and histochemical properties. Fast twitch muscles may be histochemically red or white; fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) prepared from both types of fast twitch muscles has identical calcium-accumulating capacity (maximal calcium upta
