Study design and muscle mechanics testing protocols. Mice from three different strains (C57BL/6J, BEH+/+, and BEH) were randomly assigned to either a control (CON) or 48-h fasting (FAS) group. Isolated SOL and EDL muscles were used for mechanical testing, which included including twitch contractions and determination of optimal length (L0), tetanic contractions at different stimulation frequencies with force–frequency curve analysis, and an isometric–eccentric protocol repeated for 100 cycles.

#Fasting has become a widely adopted practice. Cesanelli & co show that prolonged fasting disrupts muscle force production & mechanical properties, indicating how energy demands influence the mechanical response of different muscles to metabolic stress. doi.org/10.1242/bio....

We're gearing up for the latest cardiac muscle research during Day 2 of poster sessions. If you’re presenting, we’ll be there—no strings (or tendons) attached!
