Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to a novel functional overload test: changes in myosin heavy chains and SERCA and physiological consequences.

Description : We have used a new approach to study the effects of overload on skeletal muscle phenotype in mice. The method used avoids any traumatising contact with muscles and the inflammatory reaction that this may provoke. Blocks of lead embedded in silicone were inserted under the skin of the lower part of t...
