Another endurance-type adaptation observed after 4 weeks of voluntary running was an increased capillary density and capillary-to-fiber ratio in the
plantaris muscle of male C57BL/6J mice (38).
Satellite cell pool enhancement in rat
plantaris muscle by endurance training depends on intensity rather than duration.
The occurrence of the
plantaris muscle and its muscle-tendon relationship in adult human cadavers.
After the dissection of the popliteal fossa, followed by the superficial dissection of the posterior compartment of leg, the
plantaris muscle was identified and carefully isolated.
In previous study in rats [28], hypertrophied
plantaris muscle by compensatory overload was associated with increased HGF and FGF-2 mRNA, suggesting that both factors may have an important role in hypertrophy due to SC activation.
In muscle wasting, apocynin has protective effects on the diaphragm during prolonged mechanical ventilation (McClung et al., 2009) and in
plantaris muscle after myocardial infarction (Bechara et al., 2014) by reducing ROS.
In the
plantaris muscle, no differences were observed between the groups in the composition of the any fiber types (Figure 1c).
We preferred studying the
plantaris muscle as it is a fast muscle in the rats' limb (13) and is reported to have more prominent damage
MHC polymorphism in rodent
plantaris muscle: effects of mechanical overload and hypothyroidism.
The F waves and M responses were studied in the left/right
plantaris muscle using a method adapted from Gozariu et al.
On the other hand, free wheel running for two weeks increased myonectin expression in soleus und
plantaris muscle of mice and circulating serum levels, suggesting a potential role of myonectin in exercise-induced physiology [86].
