“Under these conditions, production of ATP by the activated mitochondrial respiration evidently results in hypercontraction of fibres , complete disturbance of myofibrillar architecture.”
“On the other hand, 59.7 % (46/77) of LT fibres showed a greater peak and a slightly reduced threshold for response to bladder distension in the presence of α,β‐meATP.”
“3 In the absence of Ca2+, photolytic release of ATP in muscle fibres initially in the rigor state caused the force and stiffness to decrease monotonically towards their values in relaxed muscle fibres.”
“Adding adenosine triphosphate (5 mM) to rigor fibres caused a partial reversal (about 50 per cent) of the rigor-induced fibre volume decrease in short fibre segments and in whole fibres.”
