Lateral transmission of force is impaired in skeletal muscles of dystrophic mice and very old rats
Open accessAbstract
Non‐technical summary The force developed by a single fibre in frog muscles is transmitted laterally to the muscle surface with little or no loss. To demonstrate this phenomenon in mammals, a ‘yoke’ apparatus was developed that attached to the surface of whole, parallel‐fibred muscles and permitted measurements of the lateral transmission of forces. We then demonstrated that for wild‐type mice and rats longitudinal and lateral transmission of forces in muscles were not different. In contrast, for skeletal muscles of dystrophic mice and very old rats, in which the dystrophin‐associated glycoprotein complex (DGC) of fibres was disrupted, the forces transmitted laterally were impaired severely. We conclude that during contractions of skeletal muscles, an intact DGC is essential for the lateral transmission of force and disruptions of the DGC lead to sarcomere instability and contraction‐induced injury.

“The DGC appears to be essential in mammalian skeletal muscles, since a loss of its components causes muscular dystrophy in both humans (Hoffman et al. 1987; Worton, 1995; Bloch et al. 2004) and mice (Rybakova et al. 2000; Li et al. 2006).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
