homeostasis/metabolism
• resting cytosolic calcium level is about 50% higher in extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle fibers, but not in soleus muscle
• sarcolemmal permeability to calcium is increased and sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium content is higher in EDL
• however, calcium-transient characteristics are unchanged in EDL
|
muscle
• mice exhibit intermyofibrillar disorganization compared with wild-type mice
• beginning at 2 months and increasing in prevalence with age, muscle fibers exhibit centrally localization of mitochondria and sarcoplasmic reticulum within unlike in wild-type muscle
|
• slightly at 2 months and significantly at 8 months in the tibialis anterior and quadriceps
|
• at 2 months and increasing in prevalence with age
|
• in the soleus between 2 and 8 months
|
• in the quadriceps at 8 months
• in the gastrocnemius and plantaris at 8 months
• in the tibialis anterior at 2 and 8 months
|
• muscle mass in the soleus and diaphragm is transiently increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• beginning at 2 months and worse at 8 months
|
• muscle fiber tetanic force is reduced in EDL
|
• at 3 weeks of age in the tibialis anterior and soleus
