✦ Synopsis

The purpose of the study was to investigate the changes in myosin heavy chain (MHC) and myosin light chain (MLC) isoforms following autotransplantation of extensor digitorum longus muscles. Muscles were grafted in ''standard'' and ''nerve-intact'' conditions. MHC and MLC isoforms were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. Changes in MHC isoforms 10, 30, and 60 days after grafting were similar in the ''standard'' and the ''nerve-intact'' grafts. In contrast to MHC, changes in MLC were different in the 10th day groups, but the same in the 30th day groups. Sixty days after grafting the content of MLC isoforms was the same as the control muscles. These data indicate that transient loss of functional innervation, even for a short time, has permanent effect on the composition of MHC but not MLC isoforms in regenerating skeletal muscle fibers.

Myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoform composition was determined in 2264 single skeletal muscle fibers from vastus lateralis muscle of a group (n = 12) of very old subjects (average age, 88 years). The number of fibers containing only MHC I, IIA, or IIX was 19.9%, 27.2%, and 0.3%, respectively. Surprisin

The effects of the essential oil of Mentha x villosa (EOMV) was investigated in saponin-permeabilized fibres and in intact sartorius muscle of the toad. In intact muscle EOMV at concentrations from 1 to 100 g/mL blocked the contraction induced by high (80 mM) potassium and induced potentiation of ca
