Forced lengthening contractions induce early disruption of the plasma membrane and intermediate filaments, leading to myofibrillar disturbances and muscle fibre necrosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Early membrane disruption after lengthening contractions precedes necrosis in animals; leaves open relevance to human dystrophin-related cardiomyopathy.
Komulainen et al. (1998) studied this question.
