  • Title: Heat production and metabolism during the contraction of mammalian skeletal muscle.
    Author: Kretzschmar KM.
    Journal: J Supramol Struct; 1975; 3(2):175-80. PubMed ID: 1195742.
    Abstract:
    Methods are described whereby initial processes of muscular contraction may be investigated in a mammalian preparation, the soleus muscle of the rat. Conditions are chosen so that recovery is avoided. An isometric tetanus is investigated and an energy balance sheet is drawn up. It is found that there is more heat evolved than can be accounted for in terms of measured chemical reaction. This discrepancy is discussed with reference to the similar results that have been obtained using frog muscle.
