Type of article: Article
Summary
A COMPARATIVE ELECTRON-MICROSCOPE STUDY WAS MADE OF THE STRUCTURAL CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT IN BOVINE LONGISSIMUS DORSI MUSCLE BY 2 AND 60-HERTZ ELECTRICAL STIMULATION. APART FROM THE FREQUENCY DIFFERENCE, THE TWO TREATMENTS WERE IDENTICAL: 500 V AC, 600 PULSES (2 HERTZ X 300 S AND 60 HERTZ X 10 S), AND A TIME OF APPLICATION OF ABOUT 40 MIN POST MORTEM. THE LOW-FREQUENCY CURRENT PRODUCED NO DETECTABLE TISSUE DISRUPTION OR IRREGULARITY IN SARCOMERE LENGTH, WHEREAS THE 60-HERTZ TREATMENT CAUSED WIDESPREAD SUPERCONTRACTION AND THE FORMATION OF CONTRACTION NODES.
