Type of article: Article

Summary

THE AUTHORS SHOW THAT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION, ON ITS OWN OR ASSOCIATED WITH STORAGE AT 288 OR 298 K (15 OR 25 DEG C) ACCELERATES THE GLYCOLYSIS RESPONSES OF MUSCLES, INDUCING AN INCREASE IN THEIR LACTATE CONTENT AND A DECREASE IN THEIR ATP CONTENT. ELECTRICAL STIMULATION, COMBINED WITH HOLDING THE MEAT FOR 2 TO 3 HRS AT 288 K IS AN EFFICIENT PROCESS FOR PREVENTING COLD-SHORTENING. (Bibliogr. int. CDIUPA-CNRS, FR., 87-210-224464.
