Energy Metabolism in Denervated Muscle

  • Chapter
The Denervated Muscle

Abstract

Specific function of the muscle is represented by muscular work, or, more accurately, by muscle contraction. This work is mechanical in character and the energy needed is obtained from biochemical reactions. It is thus possible to say that specific muscle function is based on the transfer of chemical energy to mechanical energy. The muscle utilizes this energy for its specific function and also for the production, maintenance and renewal structure and chemical composition and for adaptation to new stimuli, in other words for trophic processes which ensure its specific function. Trophic processes also take place in the muscle at rest, but they are especially accentuated after functional activity.
