Quick increases in load on tetanized frog skeletal muscle fibers produce oscillatory length changes, providing insight into the kinetic properties of crossbridges responsible for muscle contraction.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No immediate clinical application; leaves open relevance of crossbridge oscillations to mammalian or cardiac muscle.
Sugi et al. (1981) studied this question.
