Summary
THE PHENOMENON OF COLD SHORTENING IN MUSCLE IS BRIEFLY REVIEWED AND RECENT EXPERIMENTAL WORK IS DESCRIBED WHICH CLARIFIES THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL BASIS OF THIS PHENOMENON. IT IS CLEAR THAT THE SHORTENING INDUCED BY LOW TEMPERATURE RESULTS FROM AN ACTIVATION OF THE CONTRACTILE APPARATUS BY CALCIUM IONS MUCH AS IN A NORMAL PHYSIOLOGICAL CONTRACTION.
