Abstract excerpt
While human masseter muscle is known to have unusual co-expression of myosin heavy-chain proteins, cellular kinetics of individual fibers has not yet been tested. Here we examine if myosin heavy-chain protein content is closely correlated to fiber-shortening speed, as previously reported in other human muscles, or if these proteins do not correlate well to shortening speeds, as has been demonstrated previously in...
