Overview

Provides Z-line model in fish muscle; leaves open validation in mammalian cardiac sarcomeres.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Fish muscle fibers
I
Intervention
Different fixation procedures and changes in sarcomere length
O
Outcome
Structure and geometry of the Z line

The study provides a structural model for the Z line in fish muscle fibers, showing direct linkage of I filaments by Z filaments.
