Myotendinous junction plasticity in aged ovariectomized rats submitted to aquatic training
(2018-08-01)
The study aims to describe the tissue plasticity of MTJ through the morphological analysis of MTJ soleus in ovariectomized aged female Wistar rats submitted to aquatic training. Forty aged Wistar rats, 1 year and 2 months ...
Myotendinous Junction Components of Different Skeletal Muscles Present Morphological Changes in Obese Rats
(2021-01-01)
Obesity is characterized by excess adipose tissue and chronic inflammation and promotes extensive changes that can compromise skeletal muscles' structural and functional integrity. Obesity can seriously impact the force ...
Ultrastructural and Molecular Development of the Myotendinous Junction Triggered by Stretching Prior to Resistance Exercise
(2022-01-01)
The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a highly specialized region of the locomotor apparatus. Here, we investigated the ultrastructural and molecular effects in the MTJ region after static stretching prior to the ladder-based ...
Establishment of the Muscle-Tendon Junction During Thorax Morphogenesis in Drosophila Requires the Rho-Kinase
(Genetics Society America, 2016)
The assembly of the musculoskeletal system in Drosophila relies on the integration of chemical and mechanical signaling between the developing muscles with ectodermal cells specialized as tendon cells. Mechanical tension ...
Repercussions on sarcomeres of the myotendinous junction and the myofibrillar type adaptations in response to different trainings on vertical ladder
(2020-10-01)
The myofibrillary types establish to the skeletal muscle functional and adaptive properties that influence the sarcomeric arrangement during muscle contraction and may have repercussions on an important related force ...
Structural characteristics of the tendinous cord-papillary muscle junction in healthy and hypertensive rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2009-10-01)
Although the myotendinous junction (MTJ) of skeletal striated muscle is well known, more detailed studies regarding the structure of the cardiac MTJ are scarce. The objective of the present study was to investigate the ...

Ultrastructural features of the myotendinous junction of the sternomastoid muscle in Wistar rats: from newborn to aging
(Wiley-BlackwellHoboken, 2012)
The myotendinous junction (MTJ) is a major area for transmitting force from the skeletal muscle system and acts in joint position and stabilization. This study aimed to use transmission electron microscopy to describe the ...

Effects of physical training on sarcomere lengths and muscle-tendon interface of the cervical region in an experimental model of menopause
(Pagepress Publ, 2019-01-01)
The aim of this study was to describe the structural and ultrastructural aspects of the myotendinous junction (MTJ) and the proximal and distal sarcomeres of the sternomastoid of aged Wistar rats subjected to an experimental ...
