Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present work was to assess the contributions of the reflex and local components to preventing decreases in the size and changes in the ratio of fibers containing the slow and fast isoforms of myosin heavy chains during chronic stretching of a postural muscle in rats in conditions of gravitational unloading. A unilateral surgical deafferentation method was used. The results demonstrated that...
