Studies in vivo, have shown that passive stretch of skeletal muscle induces changes in contractile protein expression. In the present study the effects of passive stretch upon myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression were examined in C2C12 cell myotubes. Passive stretch induced an upregulation of adult

Myosin heavy chains (hcs) are the major determinant in the speed of contraction of skeletal muscle, and various isoforms are differentially expressed depending on the functional activity of the muscle. Using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3Π RACE) method, we have characterised the 3Π end of t
Nerve-evoked contractile activity in skeletal muscle regulates transcript and protein levels of many metabolic genes in a coordinate fashion, including the muscle isozyme of glycogen phosphorylase (MGP). Cellular signaling mechanisms mediating the activity-dependent modulation of MGP transcript leve
