... deletion in N2A titin, has been proposed to prevent N2A titin–actin interactions so that active mdm muscles are more compliant than wild type (WT). This decrease in active muscle stiffness is associated with reduced RFE. We investigated RFE in permeabilized soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL...

...Klaus D. Jürgens SUMMARY The skeletal muscles of the smallest mammal, the Etruscan shrew Suncus etruscus , are functionally and structurally adapted to the requirements of an enormously high energy turnover. Isometric twitch contractions of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles...

...Thomas Peters; Hans Peter Kubis; Petra Wetzel; Susanne Sender; Gerhard Asmussen; Roger Fons; Klaus D. Jürgens ABSTRACT In the Etruscan shrew, the isometric twitch contraction times of extensor digitorum longus (EDL) and soleus muscles are shorter than in any other mammal, allowing these muscles...

...Da-Xing Lu; Lorenzo Käser; Markus Müntener ABSTRACT The extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) or soleus muscle (SOL) in rats was mechanically overloaded on one side. The muscles were (i) untreated (normal) or (ii) self- or foreign-reinnervated (leading to persisting muscle fibres) or transplanted...

...Peter A. Huijing; Guus C. Baan; Guido T. Rebel ABSTRACT The extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) of the rat hindleg consists of four heads. The heads are named after their insertions on the digits of toes II, III, IV and V. The EDL heads share a proximal tendon and aponeurosis, but have separate...
