"After just three weeks in space, the human
soleus muscle shrinks by a third," said Dr Marie Mortreux, lead author of the study.
The
soleus muscle and spinal cord were immediately weighed.
However, we observed no additional effect of electrical stimulation to the gastrocnemius muscle after BTX-A injection which was administered to the gastrocnemius and
soleus muscles in this patient population.
The dissected gastrocnemius and
soleus muscle were weighted, homogenised in lysis buffer containing 10mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.8), 150mM NaCl, 1mM EDTA, 1% Nonidet P-40, and protease inhibitors.
In relation to the
soleus muscle, there was a significant increase in the fibers of all the trained groups (ATS, ATT, RTW, and RTC) in relation to group C (p>0.01).
In contrast, the
soleus muscle has oxidative fibers predominance and a slow-twitch fibers majority (Table 1).
The accessory
soleus muscle usually arises from the soleal line of the tibia [34] and it inserts in one of five common patterns onto the calcaneal tendon or calcaneus [13].
A bipolar silver-silver chloride surface electrode with 1 cm diameter and a fixed 2 cm interelectrode distance was placed over the
soleus muscle at the junction of lower 1/3rd and upper 2/3rd of the lower leg, medial to the midline of the posterior calf, below the bulk of the gastrocnemius muscle.

The intramuscular fat content was analyzed in the
soleus muscle in intact cellular membranes with a computer-assisted morphometric system (Leica Quantimet 500, Cambridge, UK) able to measure the red wavelength.
The serum and
soleus muscle were collected and stored at -80[degrees]C until analysis.
Whilst the genetic reduction of Seps1 resulted in moderate changes in the inflammatory profile of the dystrophic fast-twitch EDL muscle, the inflammatory profile of the slow-twitch
soleus muscle was not changed (Supplementary Figure 2).
