Author: A. Virgen-Ortiz, J. Muniz, A. Apolinar-Iribe | ||
Abstract: Background: The effect of pregnancy on skeletal muscle still has not been clearly established. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of pregnancy on muscle weight and contractile properties of soleus and plantaris muscles. The right plantaris and soleus muscles were liberated from the surrounding tissues. Each muscle was placed on setup to mechanical recording with electric stimulation. In the optimum length of each muscle were recorded single twitches, tetani and fatigue. |
