| Abstract | Tension and regional average sarcomere length (Ls) behavior were examined during repeated stretches of single, permeabilized, relaxed muscle fibers isolated from the soleus muscles of rats. We tested the hypothesis that during stretches of single permeabilized fibers, the global fiber strain is distributed non-uniformly along the length of a relaxed fiber in a repeatable pattern. Each fiber was subjected to eight constant-velocity stretch and release cycles with a strain of 32% and strain rate of 54% s−1. Stretch-release cycles were separated by a 4.5 minute interval. Throughout each stretch-release cycle, sarcomere lengths were measured using a laser diffraction technique in which 20 contiguous sectors along the entire length of a fiber segment were scanned within 2 ms. The results revealed that: (1) the imposed length change was not distributed uniformly along the fiber, (2) the first stretch-release cycle differed from subsequent cycles in passive tension and in the distribution of global fiber strain, and (3) a characteristic “signature” for the Ls response emerged after cycle 3. The findings support the conclusions that longitudinal heterogeneity exists in the passive stiffness of individual muscle fibers and that preconditioning of fibers with stretch-release cycles produces a stable pattern of sarcomere strains. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
