| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to examine the temperature dependence of active force in lengthening and shortening muscle. Experiments were done, in vitro, on bundles of intact fibres (fibre length L$_{0}$ ~2 mm; sarcomere length ~2.5 μm) isolated from a rat fast muscle (flexor hallucis brevis) and a ramp length change of 5–7 % L$_{0}$ was applied on the plateau of an isometric tetanic contraction. Ramp lengthening increased and ramp shortening decreased the muscle tension to new approximately steady levels in a velocity-dependent way. The isometric tension and the lower steady tension reached at a given shortening velocity, increased with warming from 10 to 35 °C and the relation between tension and reciprocal absolute temperature was sigmoidal. However, the tension–temperature curve of shortening muscle was sharper and shifted to higher temperature with increased velocity. In contrast, the enhanced steady tension during lengthening at a given velocity was largely temperature-insensitive within the same temperature range; we hypothesize that the tension–temperature curve may be shifted to lower temperatures in lengthening muscle. Consequently, when normalised to the isometric tension at each temperature, the tension during lengthening at a given velocity decreased exponentially with increase of temperature. The residual force enhancement that remains after ramp lengthening showed a similar behaviour and was markedly reduced in warming from 10 to 35 °C. The findings are consistent with the thesis that active force generation in muscle is endothermic and strain-sensitive; during shortening with a faster crossbridge cycle it becomes more pronounced, but during lengthening it becomes depressed as the cycle slows in a velocity-dependent way. The residual force enhancement may be caused by the same process in addition to non-crossbridge mechanism(s). |

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.
