-Two proteins that make up part of the cardiac cell contractile apparatus troponins I and T have become the markers of choice for detecting MI. Cardiac troponin levels become elevated in serum at about the same time as CK- but they remain elevated for a longer period. ST-segment elevation is thought to represent acute cell injury and ischemia.

Nov 01 1982 · Changes in the contractile apparatus of denervated rat soleus muscles were investigated during the course of reinnervation. As observed earlier in the course of denervation atrophy the ratio of myosin to actin filaments decreases because myosin filaments disappear faster than actin filaments (Jakubiec-Puka et al. 1981 a).

Thus if dense bodies act as dual-purpose anchorage sites for the cytoskeletal actin and the contractile actin the thin filaments of the contractile apparatus must be anchored at the periphery of the dense bodies.

Objective. Some dry needling treatments involve repetitive and rapid needle insertions into myofascial trigger points. This type of treatment causes muscle injury and can also damage nerve fibers. The aim of this study is to determine the injury caused by 15 repetitive punctures in the muscle and the intramuscular nerves in healthy mouse muscle and its ulterior regeneration.
