The isometric contractile properties of EDL muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice were also consistent with the adoption of a slower contractile phenotype.
Isometric contractile properties of fast muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice display a slower contractile phenotype.
Because the phenotypes were distinct in these knockout mouse models with respect to spontaneous cage activity and fast muscle
isometric contractile characteristics, we can conclude that the roles of IL - 15Rα and IL - 15 in vivo are distinct with regard to muscle function.
Not exact matches
Specifically, lower
isometric forces coupled with a lower twitch / tetanus ratio and lower rates of force development and relaxation indicate that EDL muscles from IL - 15Rα — KO mice have adopted a slower
contractile phenotype.
Isometric twitch and tetanic contractions were performed using a stimulator and a force transducer to quantify the maximum
contractile forces, as well as parameters related to the speed of contraction and speed of relaxation of dissected muscles.
The study compared the effects of three months of moderate,
isometric or dynamic exercises on the
contractile properties of a certain muscle.
