Degenerative and regenerative features of myofibers differ among skeletal muscles in a murine model of muscular dystrophy.

abstract：:White muscle fibres from dogfish were used to compare the energetic costs of shortening by fully active muscle and by relaxing muscle. The muscle preparation was tetanized for 0.6 s and shortened either during stimulation or during relaxation. The distance shortened was 1 mm (about 15% L0, the muscle length optimum fo...
