Overview

Active tension is required for Z-lattice changes in skeletal muscle; extends sarcomere mechanics understanding but leaves open clinical relevance.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Rat soleus muscles
I
Intervention
Different tension states (relaxed, tetanized, stretched, and stretched and tetanized)
C
Comparator
Comparisons between different tension states
O
Outcome
Structural states of Z bands and A bands (small-square vs basketweave forms, Z spacing)surrogate

Active tension, but not passive tension, is necessary to cause the Z lattice to assume the basketweave form and increase Z spacing in skeletal muscle.
