No direct clinical implications; leaves open whether chronic stimulation modulates myosin phosphorylation in human muscle.
Does chronic low frequency electrical stimulation reduce myosin phosphorylation in rabbit fast twitch muscle?
Chronic low frequency stimulation rapidly eliminates myosin light chain phosphorylation in rabbit fast twitch muscle, likely due to regulation of intracellular free Ca2+ and reduced myosin light chain kinase activity.
Klug et al. (1992) studied this question.
