Inhibition of mitochondrial calcium uptake slows down relaxation in mitochondria-rich skeletal muscles.

abstract：:The properties of extraocular muscles (EOMs) are quite different from those of the trunk and limb. Here we show that there is a novel pattern of troponin T (TnT) expression in EOMs which most likely contributes to the fine control of ocular movement and may reflect their innervation by cranial motoneurons. Three regio...
