Electromyograms were recorded from the soleus and medial gastrocnemius muscles and tendon force from

The morphological and histochemical properties of rat soleus muscles were investigated following one

The purpose of this study was to investigate the cortical influences on the soleus and tibialis anterior muscles while the subject imagined stumbling. While standing, 7 healthy subjects imagined the following situations: stumbling by either the right or left leg stepping into an obstacle during walking, or a sudden backward sway of the body while in ...

Prolonged exposure of humans to hypogravity causes weakening of their skeletal muscles. This problem

The effects of four-week-long hind-limb suspension (HS) of rats on the size the soleus muscle fibers

Mar 1, 2011 ... The effect of repeated strains on rat soleus muscles was investigated by stretching active muscles 3 times/wk for 4 wk with two different ...

Using a previously developed technique for inducing rapid hypertrophy of the soleus and plantaris muscle it was demonstrated that work-induced hypertrophy does not require pituitary hormones. Gain in weight of the soleus muscle occurs primarily through an...

After humans and animals have been in conditions of real and modeled weightlessness, the most marked changes are seen in the "slow" tonic muscles, particularly soleus. Studies of the effects of weightlessness and movement restriction on the soleus muscle in monkeys demonstrated significant reductions in the sizes ...

The anatomical organization of the motoneuronal columns of the soleus and lateral gastrocnemius muscle and of the related premotor interneurons was studied in rats, using the retrograde transneuronal transport of WGA-HRP. Motoneurons of the gastrocnemius muscle have a well-developed dendritic arborization which spreads into the ...

... B. Muscle Activation Both electrical stimulation and natural activation were used to control soleus muscle force. ... Electrical Stimulation ...

Carbohydrate metabolism has been shown to be affected in a number of ways by different models of hypokinesia. In vivo glycogen levels in the soleus muscle are known to be increased by short-term denervation and harness suspension. In addition, exposure to...

This study examined the effects of microgravity on: the contractile properties of the soleus, an antigravity skeletal muscle; and the MHC protein and mRNA ...

Force and electromyogram (e.m.g.) data were recorded from medial gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of conscious cats using chronically implanted devices. A digital computer was used to take simultaneous samples of the data from both muscles and construct two-dimensional frequency distributions relating the activities in the two ...

Muscle atrophy occurring in several pathophysiological conditions determines decreases in muscle protein synthesis, increases in the rate of proteolysis and changes in muscle fiber composition. To determine the effect of muscle atrophy induced by hindlimb unloading (HU) on membrane proteins from rat ...

The accessory soleus muscle (ASM) has been an unusual anatomical variant since its first recordings in Guy's Hospital Reports of the early nineteenth century. Individuals with an ASM may present with symptoms of pain and/or swelling and were often misdiagnosed as soft-tissue tumors such as hemangioma, sarcoma, or lipoma. The aim of our ...

Muscle atrophy in rats exposed to hypogravity for seven days aboard Spacelab 3 is examined. Hindlimb
