Myosin light chains in regenerating rat skeletal muscle following chronic, low-frequency, electrical stimulation.
Ten days of chronic, low-frequency, electrical stimulation of regenerating rat extensor digitorum longus muscle causes an increase in the percentage of slow, phosphorylatable myosin light chains with a complementary decrease in the total fast light chain content. This altered light chain expression is similar to that observed when electrical stimulation is applied to a developing muscle in vivo.
