Abstract
Intermittent stretching of isolated rabbit muscles increased the rate of protein synthesis by 70% and prostaglandin-F2 alpha release by 105%. Both effects of intermittent stretching were blocked by indomethacin and meclofenamate; the absence of Ca2+ together with added EGTA also inhibited both processes. The residual influence of intermittent stretching on protein synthesis was closely correlated with prostaglandin-F2 alpha release, which may be the link between mechanical activity and protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.Entities:
