Myosin heavy chain (MHC) and fiber size properties of the adult rat soleus were determined after 4-60 days of complete inactivity, i.e., lumbar spinal cord isolation. Soleus atrophy was rapid and progressive, i.e., 25% and 64% decrease in weight and 33% and 75% decrease in fiber size after 4 and 60

Whether afferents exert their morphogenetic influence on spindles through release of trophic factors at intrafusal fiber junctions or via participation in proprioceptive pathways which modulate the motor activity to muscles was investigated by comparing myosin heavy chain (MHC) expression in intrafu
## Abstract Myosin II plays critical roles in events such as cytokinesis, chemotactic migration, and morphological changes during multicellular development. The amoeba __Dictyostelium discoideum__ provides a simple system for the study of this contractile protein. In this system, myosin II filament
## Abstract Myosin heavy chain (MHC) mRNA and protein profiles in adult rat soleus and adductor longus were determined after 4, 8, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days of spinal cord isolation (SI). SI results in complete neuromuscular inactivity while leaving the motoneuronβmuscle fiber connections intact. Fro
The larynx of Xenopus laevis is a sexually differentiated vocal organ in which male muscle is entirely fast twitch and expresses high levels of a fast twitch myosin heavy chain gene, LM. Female muscle, however, is mostly slow twitch and expresses little LM. Androgen is unable to induce expression of
