## Abstract A comparison of the contractile properties of adjacent segments of single human muscle fibers may help to explain the interaction among nuclear domains within the myofiber. Biopsy samples were obtained from the vastus lateralis muscle of 20 healthy untrained women (age 18โ79 years). Sin

Muscle fiber contractile dysfunction in myotonic dystrophy (MD) is poorly understood. We biopsied the tibialis anterior of two symptomatic and three asymptomatic subjects (aged 21-31 years) with the MD mutation. Biopsies were freeze dried. A total of 103 single muscle fibers were activated with Ca +
The study of single muscle fibers has improved our understanding of muscle physiology and pathology. To compare three techniques for fiber preparation and storage, biopsies were obtained from the tibialis anterior and vastus lateralis muscles of a hemiparetic patient and a control subject. Single fi
