Journal ArticleDOI

Muscle contracture induced by exercise. A syndrome attributable to decreased relaxing factor.

TL;DR: An unusual disorder of muscle function, characterized by painless contractures occurring with exercise, was present in a patient since childhood, and muscle contraction was normal, but the response to exercise was abnormal.
Journal ArticleDOI

The denervated muscle: facts and hypotheses. A historical review

TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis that the lack of neurotrophic, non-motor factors plays a role in denervation phenomena, but some experimental results cannot apparently be explained by the loss of neuromotor impulses, and may still suggest that neurotrophic influences exist.

Effects of Adrenergic Activators and Inhibitors on the Skeletal Muscles

W. C. Bowman
TL;DR: In some muscles the response obtained may differ, at least quantitatively, according to the age of the animal and to the condition of the muscle (that is, whether or not it is fatigued).

Biochemical and Clinical Aspects of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Function

TL;DR: A critical appraisal of information about the possible involvement of sarcoplasmic reticulum in various muscle diseases such as cardiac failure, muscular dystrophy, myotonia, and denervation atrophy is discussed.
