  • Skeletal muscle proteolysis after fatigue and exercise-induced injury

    Creator:

    Abstract:
    Skeletal muscle damage induced by lengthening ("eccentric" or "pliometric") contractions cause an immediate loss in maximal tetanic force (P₀) and an increase in protein degradation by unidentified endogenous mechanisms. We hypothesized that increased proteolysis following active lengthening injury is mediated by the Ca²⁺ dependent protease calpain. To test this hypothesis...
