"Myofibrillar" Examples
Myofibrillar
Myofibrillar refers to the thread-like structures within a muscle cell (muscle fiber) that contain the contractile proteins actin and myosin. Here are five usage examples:
The athlete's intense training program helped to increase her
myofibrillar diameter, enabling her to lift heavier weights.^(1)
The researchers studied the effects of exercise on muscle
myofibrillar protein synthesis to better understand muscle growth and repair.^(2)
The muscle imaging technique highlighted the arrangement of
myofibrillar structures within the muscle fibers.^(3)
Deficiencies in
myofibrillar function have been linked to various muscle-related disorders.^(4)
The goal of the sports nutrition program was to optimize
myofibrillar protein synthesis and support muscle growth and recovery.^(5)
