The aim of this study was to determine whether muscle fibre degeneration brought about by chronic lowfrequency electrical stimulation was related to the pattern and frequency of stimulation. Rabbit fast-twitch muscles, tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus, were stimulated for 9 days with pulse trains ranging in frequency from 1.25 Hz to 10 Hz. Histological data from these muscles were analysed with multivariate statistical techniques. At the lower stimulation frequencies there was a significantly lower incidence of degenerating muscle fibres. Fibres that reacted positively with an antineonatal antibody were most numerous in the sections that revealed the most degeneration. The dependence on frequency was generally similar for the two muscles, but the extensor digitorum longus muscles showed more degeneration than the tibialis anterior at every frequency. Muscles subjected to 10 Hz intermittent stimulation showed significantly less degeneration than muscles stimulated with 5 Hz continuously, although the aggregate number of impulses delivered was the same. The incidence of degeneration in the extensor digitorum longus muscles stimulated at 1.25 Hz was indistinguishable from that in control, unstimulated muscles; for the tibialis anterior muscles, this was also true for stimulation at 2.5 Hz. We conclude that damage is not an inevitable consequence of electrical stimulation. The influence of pattern and frequency on damage should be taken into account when devising neuromuscular stimulation régimes for clinical use. 相似文献

Muscle moment arms at the human knee and ankle were estimated from muscle length changes measured as a function of joint flexion angle in cadaver specimens. Nearly all lower-leg muscles were studied: extensor digitorum longus, extensor hallucis longus, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus, gastrocnemius lateralis, gastrocnemius medialis, peroneus brevis, peroneus longus, peroneus tertius, plantaris, soleus, tibialis anterior, and tibialis posterior. Noise in measured muscle length was filtered by means of quintic splines. Moment arms of the mm. gastrocnemii appear to be much more dependent on joint flexion angles than was generally assumed by other investigators. Some consequences for earlier analyses are mentioned. 相似文献

Summary Soleus, extensor digitorum longus and tibialis anterior muscles of mice voluntarily running in wheels for periods of 5 to 120 days were studied in spaced serial and serial cross-sections. Shortly after the onset of running and during the next 2 weeks, degeneration, necrosis, phagocytosis and regeneration of muscle fibers, satellite cell proliferation and cellular infiltration were found in soleus muscles of mice from all strains investigated (CBA/J, NMRI, C57b, NIH, SWS and Balb/c). Tibialis anterior but not extensor digitorum longus muscles were also damaged. Predominantly high-oxidative fibers were affected (both slow-oxidative and fast oxidative glycolytic in soleus, fast-oxidative glycolytic in tibialis anterior). Denervated soleus muscles that had been passively stretched during running were not damaged. Evidence was found that, during the early period of running, split fibers form by myogenesis within (regeneration) or outside (satellite cell proliferation) necrotic muscle fiber segments. Split fibers persisted in solei of long-term (2 to 3 months) exercised CBA/J but not NMRI mice. In 6 out of 20 solei of CBA/J runners exercised for 2 months or longer, fiber-type grouping was observed in the areas where extensive damage usually occurred in the early periods. The results show that different muscles are damaged and repaired to varying degrees and that marked interstrain and inter-individual differences are present. It appears that acute muscle injury occurring upon onset of voluntary running is a usual event in the adaptation of muscles to altered use. 相似文献

The metabolic integrity of fully regenerated transplants was investigated by measuring induced changes in glycogen concentration. The extensor digitorum longus and the soleus muscles were cross transplanted: the extensor digitorum longus into the soleus muscle bed (SOLT) and the soleus muscle into the extensor digitorum longus bed (EDLT). The histochemical fiber type distribution of the regenerated muscles was determined and was found to transform in cross-transplanted EDLT and SOLT. After transplantation and regeneration, both muscles had initially low glycogen concentrations. However, the EDLT glycogen concentration was not significantly different from that of the contralateral extensor digitorum longus control muscle after 60 days. In the SOLT, glycogen gradually increased but remained less than in the contralateral soleus control muscle. SOLT and control soleus muscles responded with a significant glycogen depletion to an epinephrine dose two orders of magnitude less than the lowest dose affecting glycogen levels in EDLT and extensor digitorum longus muscles. These results indicate that transplanted muscles are capable of regenerating normal glycogenolytic responses and that the sensitivity of the response observed depends on the site of transplantation and is related to the type of innervation and histochemical fiber type. 相似文献

Cross and longitudinal sections from the encapsulated portions of chicken tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscle spindles were examined to determine whether their intrafusal fibers were a structurally homogeneous or heterogeneous population. The techniques used were the histochemical actomyosin (mATPase) reaction, and fluorescence immunohistochemistry employing two monoclonal antibodies, CA-83 and CCM-52, that are specific for myosin heavy chains. After incubation with antibody CCM-52, intrafusal fibers fluoresced either strongly or weakly to moderately. Antibody CA-83 was even more selective. In addition to identifying the strongly reactive category, it clearly separated the remaining fibers into unreactive and moderately reactive groups. As a whole, after incubation for mATPase, pH 9.6 preincubation, unreactive fibers stained darker than strongly reactive fibers. Moreover, the cross-sectional area of the unreactive fibers was significantly larger than that of the strongly reactive fibers. In the average-size muscle spindle with six intrafusal fibers, there were four unreactive fibers and two strongly reactive fibers. In about one-third of the receptors examined, one moderately reactive fiber was present. Taken together, the data indicate that intrafusal fibers of chicken tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles are not structurally homogeneous. The observed variations can be better explained in terms of different fiber types than of continuous gradients within one type of fiber. 相似文献

Summary Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity increases following denervation of rat skeletal muscle. The specificity of this effect to muscle fibre type was studied. Basal activity of the dehydrogenase was higher in soleus, a muscle composed predominantly of type I fibres, than in extensor digitorum longus, a muscle composed predominantly of type IIa and b fibres. The enzymatic activity of the soleus was also greater than that of the red (RQ) and white (WQ) portions of quadriceps muscle (predominantly type IIa and type IIb fibres, respectively). Following denervation, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase increased in extensor digitorum longus and RQ, but not in WQ or the soleus. Following chronic treatment of rats with 3,3,5-triiodothyronine, which converts type I muscle fibres to type II, the dehydrogenase activity increased in both denervated soleus and extensor digitorum longus. It is concluded that the effect of denervation on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is selective for type IIa (fast oxidative-glycolytic) muscle fibres. 相似文献

Discovery of TBC1D1 as an insulin-, AICAR-, and contraction-stimulated signaling nexus in mouse skeletal muscle 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The Akt substrate of 160 kDa (AS160) is phosphorylated on Akt substrate (PAS) motifs in response to insulin and contraction in skeletal muscle, regulating glucose uptake. Here we discovered a dissociation between AS160 protein expression and apparent AS160 PAS phosphorylation among soleus, tibialis anterior, and extensor digitorum longus muscles. Immunodepletion of AS160 in tibialis anterior muscle lysates resulted in minimal depletion of the PAS band at 160 kDa, suggesting the presence of an additional PAS immunoreactive protein. By immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry, we identified this protein as the AS160 paralog TBC1D1, an obesity candidate gene regulating GLUT4 translocation in adipocytes. TBC1D1 expression was severalfold higher in skeletal muscles compared with all other tissues and was the dominant protein detected by the anti-PAS antibody at 160 kDa in tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus but not soleus muscles. In vivo stimulation by insulin, contraction, and the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator AICAR increased TBC1D1 PAS phosphorylation. Using mass spectrometry on TBC1D1 from mouse skeletal muscle, we identified several novel phosphorylation sites on TBC1D1 and found the majority were consensus or near consensus sites for AMPK. Semiquantitative analysis of spectra suggested that AICAR caused greater overall phosphorylation of TBC1D1 sites compared with insulin. Purified Akt and AMPK phosphorylated TBC1D1 in vitro, and AMPK, but not Akt, reduced TBC1D1 electrophoretic mobility. TBC1D1 is a major PAS immunoreactive protein in skeletal muscle that is phosphorylated in vivo by insulin, AICAR, and contraction. Both Akt and AMPK phosphorylate TBC1D1, but AMPK may be the more robust regulator. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are alterations in the dihydropyridine and/or ryanodine receptors that might explain the excitation-contraction uncoupling associated with eccentric contraction-induced skeletal muscle injury. The left anterior crural muscles (i.e., tibialis anterior, extensor digitorum longus, and extensor hallucis longus) of mice were injured in vivo by 150 eccentric contractions. Peak isometric tetanic torque of the anterior crural muscles was reduced approximately 45% immediately and 3 days after the eccentric contractions. Partial restoration of peak isometric tetanic and subtetanic forces of injured extensor digitorum longus muscles by 10 mM caffeine indicated the presence of excitation-contraction uncoupling. Scatchard analysis of [3H]ryanodine binding indicated that the number of ryanodine receptor binding sites was not altered immediately postinjury but decreased 16% 3 days later. Dihydropyridine receptor binding sites increased approximately 20% immediately after and were elevated to the same extent 3 days after the injury protocol. Muscle injury did not alter the sensitivity of either receptor. These data suggest that a loss or altered sensitivity of the dihydropyridine and ryanodine receptors does not contribute to the excitation-contraction uncoupling immediately after contraction-induced muscle injury. We also concluded that the loss in ryanodine receptors 3 days after injury is not the primary cause of excitation-contraction uncoupling at that time. 相似文献

Equal proximal and distal lengthening of rat extensor digitorum longus (EDL) were studied. Tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and EDL were active maximally. The connective tissues around these muscle bellies were left intact. Proximal EDL forces differed from distal forces, indicating myofascial force transmission to structures other than the tendons. Higher EDL distal force was exerted (ratio approximately 118%) after distal than after equal proximal lengthening. For proximal force, the reverse occurred (ratio approximately 157%). Passive EDL force exerted at the lengthened end was 7-10 times the force exerted at the nonlengthened end. While kept at constant length, synergists (tibialis anterior + extensor hallucis longus: active muscle force difference approximately -10%) significantly decreased in force by distal EDL lengthening, but not by proximal EDL lengthening. We conclude that force exerted at the tendon at the lengthened end of a muscle is higher because of the extra load imposed by myofascial force transmission on parts of the muscle belly. This is mediated by changes of the relative position of most parts of the lengthened muscle with respect to neighboring muscles and to compartment connective tissues. As a consequence, muscle relative position is a major codeterminant of muscle force for muscle with connectivity of its belly close to in vivo conditions. 相似文献

Assessment of functional series elastic stiffness of human dorsiflexors with fast controlled releases. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The series elastic stiffness (SES) of the human dorsiflexors was investigated in vivo with the fast controlled release method in 8 subjects. The maximum moment of a voluntary contraction (66 +/- 17 Nm) was significantly higher than the maximum moment with electrical stimulation of tibialis anterior (34 +/- 16 Nm). At an ankle moment of 34 Nm produced with either voluntary or electrical stimulation, we found a significantly different SES of 219 +/- 54 and 149 +/- 54 Nm. rad(-1), respectively. It is proposed that this is due to the fact that, during voluntary contraction, more elastic tissue parallel with each other is involved, because of coactivation of the extensor hallucis longus, extensor digitorum longus, and tibialis anterior. This shows that, for a functional assessment of the SES of the dorsiflexors, one has to include the toe extensors, which is possible with the fast controlled release method. Additionally, our results demonstrated that the SES of the human dorsiflexors at moment levels up to about isometric maximum did not reach an asymptote at which the stiffness is independent of moment, i.e., the series elastic component of the dorsiflexors is during daily activities loaded for the greatest part in the nonlinear part of the stress-strain function. 相似文献

Immunofluorescence microscopy of carbonic anhydrase III (CA III) was performed on sections of rat anterior tibialis (AT), extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus after denervation. In contralateral control muscles, CAIII was located only in type I fibres whereas following the operation, CAIII was markedly induced in type II fibers of all the muscles, most strikingly in EDL. 相似文献

The effect of dietary administration of clenbuterol on soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles was studied after 4 and 21 days. Both muscles showed an increase in wet weight with no significant change in total fibre number. After 4 days fibre cross-sectional areas were increased in soleus, but not in extensor digitorum longus, and after 21 days there was a change in fibre frequencies in extensor digitorum longus but not soleus muscles. 相似文献

Gamma irradiation prevents compensatory hypertrophy of overloaded mouse extensor digitorum longus muscle. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle was subjected to a dose of gamma irradiation that causes reproductive death of satellite cells and/or to chronic compensatory overload, achieved by removal of the distal portion of the tibialis anterior muscle. Four weeks later the mass, fiber type percentage, and fiber size of the EDL muscle were measured. Both the irradiated + overloaded and the irradiated only EDL muscles were significantly lighter and contained significantly smaller fibers than untreated muscle or muscle subjected to chronic overload only. Overload muscle, whether irradiated or not, had a larger percentage of type IIx fibers and a smaller percentage of type IIb fibers than muscle that had not been overloaded. The results confirm that satellite cell proliferation is a prerequisite for muscle hypertrophy induced by synergist incapacitation, but it appears not to be required for the maintenance of, or change in, normal muscle fiber myosin heavy chain phenotype expression. 相似文献

We used a model of crush-induced regeneration in rat in order to characterize biochemically and histologically the implication of protein kinase C (PKC) in muscle repair after damage. In this model, slow soleus and fast extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle regeneration proceed differently. PKC activity has been assayed in regenerating muscles and their intact contralateral during the first 14 days following crushing. Degeneration (myolysis) occurring shortly after crush was associated with a marked down-regulation of the enzyme in both wound muscles and notable increase in the corresponding contralateral muscles. Muscle fiber reconstruction in EDL was associated with a rise in PKC activity which peaked at day 7 in regenerating muscle where it was twice higher than in intact muscle. At variance, muscle PKC activity in soleus increased slower than that of EDL and reached later intact level. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemical studies of representative members of the three PKC subfamilies were performed. All the isoform tested were much less expressed in regenerating than in control intact muscles suggesting that the overall PKC activity in regenerating muscles was more activable than in controls. We have shown that PKC isoforms were sequentially expressed during regeneration in both muscle types. PKC theta; being present the earliest, then delta, epsilon and alpha and finally zeta, beta and eta. Some isoforms were differentially expressed according muscle type. PKC delta being more expressed in soleus whereas beta and eta appeared earlier in EDL. Histochemical studies have revealed that the isoforms were differently localized in muscle tissue and that fiber regeneration was associated with PKC alpha translocation from sarcoplasma to sarcolemma. Together these data have shown that multiple PKC isoforms are implicated in the regenerative process acting at different in times and location and suggesting that individual isoform may fulfill distinct functions. 相似文献

Soleus, vastus intermedius, tibialis anterior, and extensor digitorum longus muscles were removed from rats following space flight onboard the SLS-2 mission and from control animals. Muscle tissues were studied for their calcium and strontium activated tension characteristics and for structural changes. Muscles were also examined for myosin composition using electrophoresis. Results indicate that changes occurred in structural and functional muscle characteristics in both slow and fast muscle fiber types. These results are detailed and discussed. 相似文献

The recruitment characteristics of muscle selective nerve stimulation by a multi-contact nerve cuff electrode, as predicted by computer modeling, have been investigated in acute experiments on rabbits. A nerve cuff containing five or six dot electrodes was placed around the sciatic nerve in five rabbits. M-waves were recorded with wire electrodes from the lateral gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior, and extensor digitorum longus muscles. The muscle recruitment performances of three contact configurations (monopole, transverse bipole, transverse tripole) were compared. The selectivity was quantified by the recruitment of two muscles (one extensor and one flexor) in response to a particular stimulus. The results showed that only in a few cases, transverse bi- and tripolar stimulation provided a better selectivity than monopolar stimulation. Neither of the two extensors, nor of the two flexors could be stimulated separately. In accordance with the results of the modeling studies, bi- and tripolar stimulation required higher stimulus currents than monopolar stimulation, whereas maximum recruitment and slopes of recruitment curves were lower. The rabbit sciatic nerve appears to be a less suitable preparation for reproducible selectivity experiments, due to the variability in the number and size of the fascicles and their position in this nerve. 相似文献

At 7 days after cutting the sciatic nerve, the extensor digitorum longus muscle was smaller and contained less protein than its innervated control. Correlating with these changes was the finding of elevated rates of protein degradation (measured in vitro) in the denervated tissue. However, at this time, rates of protein synthesis (measured in vitro) and nucleic acid concentrations were also higher in the denervated tissue, changes more usually associated with an active muscle rather than a disused one. These anabolic trends have, at least in part, been explained by the possible greater exposure of the denervated extensor digitorum longus to passive stretch. When immobilized under a maintained influence of stretch the denervated muscle grew to a greater extent. Although this stretch-induced growth appeared to occur predominantly through a stimulation of protein synthesis, it was opposed by smaller increases in degradative rates. Nucleic acids increased at a similar rate to the increase in muscle mass when a continuous influence of stretch was imposed on the denervated tissue. In contrast, immobilization of the denervated extensor digitorum longus in a shortened unstretched state reversed most of the stretch-induced changes; that is, the muscle became even smaller, with protein synthesis decreasing to a greater extent than breakdown after the removal of passive stretch. The present investigation suggests that stretch will promote protein synthesis and hence growth of the extensor digitorum longus even in the absence of an intact nerve supply. However, some factor(s), in addition to passive stretch, must contribute to the anabolic trends in this denervated muscle. 相似文献

Effects of Latrodectus spider venoms on sensory and motor nerve terminals of muscle spindles 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effects of the venoms of the spiders Latrodectus mactans tredecimguttatus (black widow) and Latrodectus mactans hasselti (red back) on sensory nerve terminals in muscle spindles were studied in the mouse. A sublethal dose of venom was injected into tibialis anterior and extensor digitorum longus muscles of one leg. After survival from 30 minutes to 6 weeks muscles were examined in serial paraffin sections impregnated with silver or by electron microscopy. Sensory endings became swollen, some within 30 minutes, while over the next few hours there was progressive degeneration of annulospiral endings. By 24 hours every spindle identified by light or electron microscopy was devoid of sensory terminals. Degenerated nerve endings were taken up into the sarcoplasm of intrafusal muscle fibres. Regeneration of sensory axons began within 24 hours, new incomplete spirals were formed by 5 days and by 1 week annulospiral endings were almost all normal in appearance. Intrafusal motor terminals underwent similar acute degenerative and regenerative changes. These experiments show that intrafusal sensory and motor terminals are equally affected by Latrodectus venoms. Sensory nerve fibres possess a capacity for regeneration equal to that of motor fibres and reinnervate intrafusal muscle fibres close to their original sites of innervation. 相似文献

An a priori model of the whole active muscle length-tension relationship was constructed utilizing only myofilament length and serial sarcomere number for rabbit tibialis anterior (TA), extensor digitorum longus (EDL), and extensor digitorum II (EDII) muscles. Passive tension was modeled with a two-element Hill-type model. Experimental length-tension relations were then measured for each of these muscles and compared to predictions. The model was able to accurately capture the active-tension characteristics of experimentally-measured data for all muscles (ICC=0.88 ± 0.03). Despite their varied architecture, no differences in predicted versus experimental correlations were observed among muscles. In addition, the model demonstrated that excursion, quantified by full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of the active length-tension relationship, scaled linearly (slope=0.68) with normalized muscle fiber length. Experimental and theoretical FWHM values agreed well with an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.99 (p<0.001). In contrast to active tension, the passive tension model deviated from experimentally-measured values and thus, was not an accurate predictor of passive tension (ICC=0.70 ± 0.07). These data demonstrate that modeling muscle as a scaled sarcomere provides accurate active functional but not passive functional predictions for rabbit TA, EDL, and EDII muscles and call into question the need for more complex modeling assumptions often proposed. 相似文献
