Na+,K+‐ATPase concentration and fiber type distribution after spinal cord injury
Abstract
Complete spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized, in part, by reduced fatigue-resistance of the paralyzed skeletal muscle during stimulated contractions, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The effects of complete SCI on skeletal muscle Na(+),K(+)-adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) concentration, and fiber type distribution were therefore investigated. Six individuals (aged 32.0 +/- 5.3 years) with complete paraplegia …
