Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Protease-activated receptors (PARs) may play a role in skeletal muscle development. We compared the contractile properties of slow-twitch soleus muscles and fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles from PAR-1 null and littermate control mice. METHODS: Contractile function was measured using a force transducer system. Fiber type proportions were determined using immunohistochemistry....
