Abstract:Muscles are thermogenic organs for adult mammals and birds but can also be thermosensitive. In this respect, recent research has shown the excitability of cardiac muscle tissue when irradiated with infrared laser light. Likewise, intrinsic muscle function should give place to local thermal gradients, either because of Ca2+-ATPase thermoregulatory mechanisms or, specifically in the skeletal muscle, after intense exercise. Alongside internal thermal gradients, muscle fatigue characterizes by stressful cellular c… Show more
