Calcineurin signaling is essential for successful muscle regeneration. Although calcineurin inhibition compromises muscle repair, it is not known whether calcineurin activation can enhance muscle repair after injury. Tibialis anterior (TA) muscles from adult wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice overexpressing the constitutively active calcineurin-A alpha transgene under the control of the mitochondrial creatine kinase promoter (MCK-CnA alpha*) were injected with the myotoxic snake venom Notexin to destroy all muscle fibers. The TA muscle of the contralateral limb served as the uninjured control. Muscle structure was assessed at 5 and 9 days postinjury, and muscle function was tested in situ at 9 days postinjury. Calcineurin stimulation enhanced muscle regeneration and altered levels of myoregulatory factors (MRFs). Recovery of myofiber size and force-producing capacity was hastened in injured muscles of MCK-CnA alpha* mice compared with control. Myogenin levels were greater 5 days postinjury and myocyte enhancer factor 2a (MEF2a) expression was greater 9 days postinjury in muscles of MCK-CnA alpha* mice compared with WT mice. Higher MEF2a expression in regenerating muscles of MCK-CnA alpha* mice 9 days postinjury may be related to an increase of slow fiber genes. Calcineurin activation in uninjured and injured TA muscles slowed muscle contractile properties, reduced fatigability, and enhanced force recovery after 4 min of intermittent maximal stimulation. Therefore, calcineurin activation can confer structural and functional benefits to regenerating skeletal muscles, which may be mediated in part by differential expression of MRFs.  相似文献

Increased extracellular K(+) concentration ([K(+)](o)) can reduce excitability and force in skeletal muscle. Here we examine the effects of muscle activation on compound muscle action potentials (M waves), resting membrane potential, and contractility in isolated rat soleus muscles. In muscles incubated for 60 min at 10 mM K(+), tetanic force and M wave area decreased to 23 and 24%, respectively, of the control value. Subsequently, short (1.5 s) tetanic stimulations given at 1-min intervals induced recovery of force and M wave area to 81 and 90% of control levels, respectively, within 15 min (P < 0.001). The recovery of force and M wave was associated with a partial repolarization of the muscle fibers. Experiments with tubocurarine suggest that the force recovery was related to activation of muscle Na(+)-K(+) pumps caused by the release of some compound from sensory nerves in response to muscle activity. In conclusion, activity produces marked recovery of excitability in K(+)-depressed muscle, and this may protect muscles against fatigue caused by increased [K(+)](o) during exercise.  相似文献

When depolarized from typical resting membrane potentials (V(rest) approximately -90 mV), cardiac sodium (Na) currents are more sensitive to local anesthetics than brain or skeletal muscle Na currents. When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, lidocaine block of hH1 (human cardiac) Na current greatly exceeded that of mu1 (rat skeletal muscle) at membrane potentials near V(rest), whereas hyperpolarization to -140 mV equalized block of the two isoforms. Because the isoform-specific tonic block roughly parallels the drug-free voltage dependence of channel availability, isoform differences in the voltage dependence of fast inactivation could underlie the differences in block. However, after a brief (50 ms) depolarizing pulse, recovery from lidocaine block is similar for the two isoforms despite marked kinetic differences in drug-free recovery, suggesting that differences in fast inactivation cannot entirely explain the isoform difference in lidocaine action. Given the strong coupling between fast inactivation and other gating processes linked to depolarization (activation, slow inactivation), we considered the possibility that isoform differences in lidocaine block are explained by differences in these other gating processes. In whole-cell recordings from HEK-293 cells, the voltage dependence of hH1 current activation was approximately 20 mV more negative than that of mu1. Because activation and closed-state inactivation are positively coupled, these differences in activation were sufficient to shift hH1 availability to more negative membrane potentials. A mutant channel with enhanced closed-state inactivation gating (mu1-R1441C) exhibited increased lidocaine sensitivity, emphasizing the importance of closed-state inactivation in lidocaine action. Moreover, when the depolarization was prolonged to 1 s, recovery from a "slow" inactivated state with intermediate kinetics (I(M)) was fourfold longer in hH1 than in mu1, and recovery from lidocaine block in hH1 was similarly delayed relative to mu1. We propose that gating processes coupled to fast inactivation (activation and slow inactivation) are the key determinants of isoform-specific local anesthetic action.  相似文献

The role of mechanosensitive calcium channels in skeletal muscle physiology is not understood. This study takes advantage of an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder (myasthenia gravis associated with rippling muscles) to identify components in the skeletal muscle myocyte that may play a role in mechanosensitive calcium channel activity. Rippling muscles are characterized by stretch or percussion activated wave-like muscle contractions that do not require motor unit action potentials for propagation. Autoantibodies from the sera of patients with autoimmune rippling muscles (associated with myasthenia gravis) are directed against high molecular weight muscle proteins. Some of these proteins are uniquely recognized by antisera from patients with autoimmune rippling muscles. This suggests these autoantigens are distinct from those normally associated with myasthenia gravis, and may play a role in the mechanosensitive activation of muscle contraction.  相似文献

Cyclically contracting muscles provide power for a variety of processes including locomotion, pumping blood, respiration, and sound production. In the current study, we apply a computational model derived from force–velocity relationships to explore how sustained power output is systematically affected by shortening velocity, operational frequency, and strain amplitude. Our results demonstrate that patterns of frequency dependent power output are based on a precise balance between a muscle's intrinsic shortening velocity and strain amplitude. We discuss the implications of this constraint for skeletal muscle design, and then explore implications for physiological processes based on cyclical muscle contraction. One such process is animal locomotion, where musculoskeletal systems make use of resonant properties to reduce the amount of metabolic energy used for running, swimming, or flying. We propose that skeletal muscle phenotype is tuned to this operational frequency, since each muscle has a limited range of frequencies at which power can be produced efficiently. This principle also has important implications for our understanding muscle plasticity, because skeletal muscles are capable of altering their active contractile properties in response to a number of different stimuli. We discuss the possibility that muscles are dynamically tuned to match the resonant properties of the entire musculoskeletal system.  相似文献

The mechanical properties of two extraocular muscles (superior oblique and superior rectus muscles) of the frog were studied and compared with those of a frog's skeletal muscle (iliofibularis muscle) which contains the same types of muscle fibres as the oculorotatory muscles. The extraocular muscles are very fast twitching muscles. They exhibit a smaller contraction time, a smaller half-relaxation time, a higher fusion frequency, and a lower twitch-tetanus ratio than the skeletal muscles. The maximum isometric tetanic tension produced per unit cross-sectional area is lower in the extraocular muscles than in skeletal muscles. However, the extraocular muscles show a higher fatigue resistance than the skeletal muscles. With respect to the dynamic properties there are some differences between the various oculorotatory muscles of the frog. The superior rectus muscle exhibits a faster time-course of the contraction, a higher fusion frequency, and a higher fatigability than the superior oblique muscle. An increase of the extracellular K+-concentration evokes sustained contractures not only in the extraocular muscles but also in the iliofibularis muscle; between these muscles there are no striking differences in the mechanical threshold of the whole muscle preparation. The mechanical threshold depends on the Ca++-concentration of the bathing solution and it is found in a range between 12.5 and 17.5 mM K+ in a normal Ringer solution containing 1.8 mM Ca++. The static-mechanical properties of the extraocular muscles of the frog and the dependence of the active developed tension on the muscle extension are very similar to those which are known to exist in the extraocular muscles of other vertebrates. In tetanic activated frog's oculorotatory muscles a linear relationship exists between length and tension. A variation of the stimulation frequency does not change the slope of this curve but causes parallel shifts of the curve. The peculiar properties of the extraocular muscles of the frog are discussed with respect to the muscle fibre types in these muscles and to the diameter of the muscle fibres.  相似文献

A positive inotropic action by the sympathetic nervous system on skeletal muscles has been observed and investigated in animal and in vitro studies. This action provided a theoretical basis for the putative ergogenic action of catecholamines and adrenergic agonists, although there is no clear evidence of this effect in humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of inotropic effects associated to physiological sympathetic activation in healthy subjects. The muscle force capacity was investigated in the tibialis anterior (n = 9 subjects) and in the soleus (n = 9) muscles electrically stimulated with single pulses and double pulses with variable interspike interval (4-1,000 ms) and short pulse trains (frequency: 5-14 Hz) before, during, and after sympathetic activation by the cold pressor test (CPT). CPT significantly decreased by 10.4 ± 7.2 and 10.6 ± 4.4% the force produced by single and double pulse stimulation, respectively, and produced smaller decreases in the force obtained by train stimulation in the tibialis anterior, while no significant changes were observed in either type of contraction in the soleus muscle. CPT failed to induce any increase in the force capacity of the investigated muscles. The prevalent decrease in force evidenced in this study supports the concept that the weakening sympathetic action on type I fiber, already shown to occur in humans, prevails over the putative potentiating action.  相似文献

Generation of the action potentials (AP) necessary to activate skeletal muscle fibers requires that inward membrane currents exceed outward currents and thereby depolarize the fibers to the voltage threshold for AP generation. Excitability therefore depends on both excitatory Na+ currents and inhibitory K+ and Cl- currents. During intensive exercise, active muscle loses K+ and extracellular K+ ([K+]o) increases. Since high [K+]o leads to depolarization and ensuing inactivation of voltage-gated Na+ channels and loss of excitability in isolated muscles, exercise-induced loss of K+ is likely to reduce muscle excitability and thereby contribute to muscle fatigue in vivo. Intensive exercise, however, also leads to muscle acidification, which recently was shown to recover excitability in isolated K(+)-depressed muscles of the rat. Here we show that in rat soleus muscles at 11 mM K+, the almost complete recovery of compound action potentials and force with muscle acidification (CO2 changed from 5 to 24%) was associated with reduced chloride conductance (1731 +/- 151 to 938 +/- 64 microS/cm2, P < 0.01) but not with changes in potassium conductance (405 +/- 20 to 455 +/- 30 microS/cm2, P < 0.16). Furthermore, acidification reduced the rheobase current by 26% at 4 mM K+ and increased the number of excitable fibers at elevated [K+]o. At 11 mM K+ and normal pH, a recovery of excitability and force similar to the observations with muscle acidification could be induced by reducing extracellular Cl- or by blocking the major muscle Cl- channel, ClC-1, with 30 microM 9-AC. It is concluded that recovery of excitability in K(+)-depressed muscles induced by muscle acidification is related to reduction in the inhibitory Cl- currents, possibly through inhibition of ClC-1 channels, and acidosis thereby reduces the Na+ current needed to generate and propagate an AP. Thus short term regulation of Cl- channels is important for maintenance of excitability in working muscle.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle excitation-contraction (E-C)(1) coupling is a process composed of multiple sequential stages, by which an action potential triggers sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)(2) Ca(2+) release and subsequent contractile activation. The various steps in the E-C coupling process in skeletal muscle can be studied using different techniques. The simultaneous recordings of sarcolemmal electrical signals and the accompanying elevation in myoplasmic Ca(2+), due to depolarization-initiated SR Ca(2+) release in skeletal muscle fibres, have been useful to obtain a better understanding of muscle function. In studying the origin and mechanism of voltage dependency of E-C coupling a variety of different techniques have been used to control the voltage in adult skeletal fibres. Pioneering work in muscles isolated from amphibians or crustaceans used microelectrodes or 'high resistance gap' techniques to manipulate the voltage in the muscle fibres. The development of the patch clamp technique and its variant, the whole-cell clamp configuration that facilitates the manipulation of the intracellular environment, allowed the use of the voltage clamp techniques in different cell types, including skeletal muscle fibres. The aim of this article is to present an historical perspective of the voltage clamp methods used to study skeletal muscle E-C coupling as well as to describe the current status of using the whole-cell patch clamp technique in studies in which the electrical and Ca(2+) signalling properties of mouse skeletal muscle membranes are being investigated.  相似文献

Immobilization is characterized by activation of the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome-dependent proteolytic system (UPS) and of the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Increased oxidative stress and inflammatory response occur in immobilized skeletal muscles. Curcumin exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, blocked proteasome activation in intact animals, and may favor skeletal muscle regeneration. We therefore measured the effects of curcumin on immobilization-induced muscle atrophy and subsequent recovery. Rats were subjected to hindlimb immobilization for 8 days (I8) and allowed to recover for 10 days (R10). Fifty percent of the rats were injected daily with either curcumin or vehicle. Proteolytic and apoptotic pathways were studied in gastrocnemius muscles. Curcumin treatment prevented the enhanced proteasome chymotrypsin-like activity and the trend toward increased caspase-9-associated apoptosome activity at I8 in immobilized muscles. By contrast, the increase of these two activities was blunted by curcumin at R10. Curcumin did not reduce muscle atrophy at I8 but improved muscle recovery at R10 and the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers of immobilized muscles. Curcumin reduced the increased protein levels of Smac/DIABLO induced by immobilization and enhanced the elevation of X-linked inhibitory apoptotic protein levels at R10. Ub-conjugate levels and caspase-3 activity increased at I8 and were normalized at R10 without being affected by curcumin treatment. Altogether, the data show that curcumin treatment improved recovery during reloading. The effect of curcumin during the atrophic phase on proteasome activities may facilitate the initiation of muscle recovery after reloading. These data also suggest that this compound may favor the initial steps of muscle regeneration.  相似文献

Excitation-contraction coupling was characterized in scorpion striated muscle fibers using standard microelectrode techniques as employed in studies on vertebrate skeletal muscle. The action potential of scorpion muscle consists of two phases of regenerative activity. A relatively fast, overshooting initial spike is followed by a prolonged after- discharge of smaller, repetitive spikes. This after-discharge is accompanied by a twitch that relaxes promptly upon repolarization. Twitches fail in Na-free, tetrodotoxin (TTX)-containing, or Ca-free media. However, caffeine causes contractures in muscles paralyzed by Na- and Ca-free solutions. Experiments on muscle fibers voltage-clamped at a point with two microelectrodes in Na-free or TTX-containing media indicate that: (a) the strength-duration relation for threshold contractions has a shape similar to that in frog muscle, but mean values are displaced approximately 20 mV in the positive direction; (b) tetracaine exerts a parallel effect on strength-duration curves from scorpion and frog; (c) contractile activation in scorpion is abolished in Ca-free media; and (d) the contractile threshold is highly correlated with the occurrence of inward Ca current for pulses of all durations. Thus, the voltage dependence of contractile activation in scorpion and frog muscle is similar. However, the preparations differ in their dependence on extracellular Ca for contraction. These results are discussed in relation to possible mechanisms coupling tubular depolarization to Ca release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in vertebrate and invertebrate skeletal muscle.  相似文献

The protein phosphatase calcineurin is a signaling intermediate that induces the transformation of fast-twitch skeletal muscle fibers to a slow-twitch phenotype. This reprogramming of the skeletal muscle gene expression profile may have therapeutic applications for metabolic disease. Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle is both impaired in individuals with type II diabetes mellitus and positively correlated with the percentage of slow- versus fast-twitch muscle fibers. Using transgenic mice expressing activated calcineurin in skeletal muscle, we report that skeletal muscle reprogramming by calcineurin activation leads to improved insulin-stimulated 2-deoxyglucose uptake in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles compared with wild-type mice, concomitant with increased protein expression of the insulin receptor, Akt, glucose transporter 4, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator 1. Transgenic mice exhibited elevated glycogen deposition, enhanced amino acid uptake, and increased fatty acid oxidation in EDL muscle. When fed a high-fat diet, transgenic mice maintained superior rates of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in EDL muscle and were protected against diet-induced glucose intolerance. These results validate calcineurin as a target for enhancing insulin action in skeletal muscle.  相似文献

This study was undertaken in order to provide further insight into the role of leucine supplementation in the skeletal muscle regeneration process, focusing on myofiber size and strength recovery. Young (2-month-old) rats were subjected or not to leucine supplementation (1.35 g/kg per day) started 3 days prior to cryolesion. Then, soleus muscles were cryolesioned and continued receiving leucine supplementation until 1, 3 and 10 days later. Soleus muscles from leucine-supplemented animals displayed an increase in myofiber size and a reduction in collagen type III expression on post-cryolesion day 10. Leucine was also effective in reducing FOXO3a activation and ubiquitinated protein accumulation in muscles at post-cryolesion days 3 and 10. In addition, leucine supplementation minimized the cryolesion-induced decrease in tetanic strength and increase in fatigue in regenerating muscles at post-cryolesion day 10. These beneficial effects of leucine were not accompanied by activation of any elements of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt/mechanistic target of rapamycin signalling pathway in the regenerating muscles. Our results show that leucine improves myofiber size gain and strength recovery in regenerating soleus muscles through attenuation of protein ubiquitination. In addition, leucine might have therapeutic effects for muscle recovery following injury and in some muscle diseases.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle expresses two catalytic subunits, alpha1 and alpha2, of the 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which has been implicated in contraction-stimulated glucose transport and fatty acid oxidation. Muscle contraction activates the alpha2-containing AMPK complex (AMPKalpha2), but this activation may occur with or without activation of the alpha1-containing AMPK complex (AMPKalpha1), suggesting that AMPKalpha2 is the major isoform responsible for contraction-induced metabolic events in skeletal muscle. We report for the first time that AMPKalpha1, but not AMPKalpha2, can be activated in contracting skeletal muscle. Rat epitrochlearis muscles were isolated and incubated in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing pyruvate. In muscles stimulated to contract at a frequency of 1 and 2 Hz during the last 2 min of incubation, AMPKalpha1 activity increased twofold and AMPKalpha2 activity remained unchanged. Muscle stimulation did not change the muscle AMP concentration or the AMP-to-ATP ratio. AMPK activation was associated with increased phosphorylation of Thr(172) of the alpha-subunit, the primary activation site. Muscle stimulation increased the phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), a downstream target of AMPK, and the rate of 3-O-methyl-d-glucose transport. In contrast, increasing the frequency (>or=5 Hz) or duration (>or=5 min) of contraction activated AMPKalpha1 and AMPKalpha2 and increased AMP concentration and the AMP/ATP ratio. These results suggest that 1) AMPKalpha1 is the predominant isoform activated by AMP-independent phosphorylation in low-intensity contracting muscle, 2) AMPKalpha2 is activated by an AMP-dependent mechanism in high-intensity contracting muscle, and 3) activation of each isoform enhances glucose transport and ACC phosphorylation in skeletal muscle.  相似文献

The serratus superficailis metapatagialis (SSM) of pigeons is a skeletal muscle with unusual properties. It lies between the ribs and the trailing edge of the wing, where it is attached to the skin by a system of smooth muscles having elastic tendons. Wing movements during flight induce marked changes in this muscle's length. The SSM inserts onto the deep fascia, and at its termination the skeletal muscle contains large numbers of microtubules. Many myofibrils attach to leptomeric organelles, which then attach to the terminal end of the skeletal muscle fiber. The deep fascia next connects to the dermis of the skin by bundles of smooth muscles that have elastic tendons at both ends. This system allows large movements of the muscle while preventing its fibers from overstretching. The movements and presumed forces acting at this muscle make the presence of sensory receptors such as muscle spindles unlikely. Spindles are absent in this muscle.  相似文献

Skeletal muscle atrophy can occur as a consequence of immobilization and/or starvation in the majority of vertebrates studied. In contrast, hibernating mammals are protected against the loss of muscle mass despite long periods of inactivity and lack of food intake. Resident muscle-specific stem cells (satellite cells) are known to be activated by muscle injury and their activation contributes to the regeneration of muscle, but whether satellite cells play a role in hibernation is unknown. In the hibernating 13-lined ground squirrel we show that muscles ablated of satellite cells were still protected against atrophy, demonstrating that satellite cells are not involved in the maintenance of skeletal muscle during hibernation. Additionally, hibernating skeletal muscle showed extremely slow regeneration in response to injury, due to repression of satellite cell activation and myoblast differentiation caused by a fine-tuned interplay of p21, myostatin, MAPK, and Wnt signaling pathways. Interestingly, despite long periods of inflammation and lack of efficient regeneration, injured skeletal muscle from hibernating animals did not develop fibrosis and was capable of complete recovery when animals emerged naturally from hibernation. We propose that hibernating squirrels represent a new model system that permits evaluation of impaired skeletal muscle remodeling in the absence of formation of tissue fibrosis.  相似文献

High-frequency stimulation of skeletal muscle has long been associated with ionic perturbations, resulting in the loss of membrane excitability, which may prevent action potential propagation and result in skeletal muscle fatigue. Associated with intense skeletal muscle contractions are large changes in muscle metabolites. However, the role of metabolites in the loss of muscle excitability is not clear. The metabolic state of isolated rat extensor digitorum longus muscles at 30 degrees C was manipulated by decreasing energy expenditure and thereby allowed investigation of the effects of energy conservation on skeletal muscle excitability. Muscle ATP utilization was reduced using a combination of the cross-bridge cycling blocker N-benzyl-p-toluene sulfonamide (BTS) and the SR Ca2+ release channel blocker Na-dantrolene, which reduce activity of the myosin ATPase and SR Ca2+-ATPase. Compared with control muscles, the resting metabolites ATP, phosphocreatine, creatine, and lactate, as well as the resting muscle excitability as measured by M-waves, were unaffected by treatment with BTS plus dantrolene. Following 20 or 30 s of continuous 60-Hz stimulation, BTS-plus-dantrolene-treated muscles showed a 25% lower ATP utilization compared with control muscles. Furthermore, the ability of muscles to maintain excitability during high-frequency stimulation was significantly improved in BTS-plus-dantrolene-treated muscles, indicating a strong link between metabolites, energetic state, and the excitability of the muscle.  相似文献

Mast cells have been implicated as the central effectors in allergic responses, yet a fatal anaphylactic response can be induced in mast cell-deficient mice. In this study, we examined the immediate hypersensitivity response in wild-type (WT) and mast cell-deficient mice (W/W(v)) in two different tissues (skin and skeletal muscle). Vascular permeability and leukocyte recruitment were studied after immediate challenge or 4 h postchallenge in OVA-sensitized mice. In skin, immediate challenge induced a significant increase in vascular permeability (75%) within 30 min and was accompanied by increased leukocyte adhesion 4 h postchallenge. In the absence of mast cells, no changes in vascular permeability or leukocyte recruitment were observed in skin. In WT skeletal muscle, immediate challenge induced a rapid increase (80%) in vascular permeability within 5 min and significant leukocyte recruitment after 4 h. Surprisingly, in W/W(v), a gradual increase in vascular permeability was observed, reaching a maximum (50%) within 30 min. Despite the absence of mast cells, subsequent leukocyte emigration was similar to that observed in WT mice. Pretreatment with anti-platelet serum in W/W(v) returned Ag-induced vascular permeability and leukocyte recruitment to baseline. Platelets were shown to interact with endothelium in skeletal muscle, but not dermal microvasculature. These data illustrate that mast cells play a prominent role in vascular permeability and leukocyte recruitment in skin in response to Ag, however, in skeletal muscle; these changes can occur in the absence of mast cells, and are mediated, in part, by the presence of platelets.  相似文献

Stretch-shortening cycle: a powerful model to study normal and fatigued muscle   总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11  
Komi PV 《Journal of biomechanics》2000,33(10):1197-1206
Stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) in human skeletal muscle gives unique possibilities to study normal and fatigued muscle function. The in vivo force measurement systems, buckle transducer technique and optic fiber technique, have revealed that, as compared to a pure concentric action, a non-fatiguing SSC exercise demonstrates considerable performance enhancement with increased force at a given shortening velocity. Characteristic to this phenomenon is very low EMG-activity in the concentric phase of the cycle, but a very pronounced contribution of the short-latency stretch-reflex component. This reflex contributes significantly to force generation during the transition (stretch-shortening) phase in SSC action such as hopping and running. The amplitude of the stretch reflex component - and the subsequent force enhancement - may vary according to the increased stretch-load but also to the level of fatigue. While moderate SSC fatigue may result in slight potentiation, the exhaustive SSC fatigue can dramatically reduce the same reflex contribution. SSC fatigue is a useful model to study the processes of reversible muscle damage and how they interact with muscle mechanics, joint and muscle stiffness. All these parameters and their reduction during SSC fatigue changes stiffness regulation through direct influences on muscle spindle (disfacilitation), and by activating III and IV afferent nerve endings (proprioseptic inhibition). The resulting reduced stretch reflex sensitivity and muscle stiffness deteriorate the force potentiation mechanisms. Recovery of these processes is long lasting and follows the bimodal trend of recovery. Direct mechanical disturbances in the sarcomere structural proteins, such as titin, may also occur as a result of an exhaustive SSC exercise bout.  相似文献
