title: Magnesium in cross bands of injured myocytes.
abstract: Magnesium was found to accumulate in cross bands of myocytes due to myofibrillar degeneration in the context of myocardial lesions and was also detected from contraction bands in injured fibres of duck feather muscles. Relevant findings were based on histochemical detection of magnesium with quinalizarin, magnesone, and titan-yellow. Amassed degenerated myofibrils and injured mitochondria were supposed to make for the substrate of magnesium. Elective staining of cross bands by Luxol Fast Blue MBS was assumed to be attributable to bondability to divalent cations.
