This review integrates from the single muscle fibre to exercising human the current
understanding of the role of skeletal muscle for whole-body potassium (K+) regulation, and …

Perturbations in K+ have long been considered a key factor in skeletal muscle fatigue.
However, the exercise-induced changes in K+ intra-to-extracellular gradient is by itself …

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is used to produce contractions to restore
movement and reduce secondary complications for individuals experiencing motor …

Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) is the process by which electrical excitation of muscle
is converted into force generation. Depolarization of skeletal muscle resting potential …

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures.
Studies have shown the complexity of epileptogenesis and ictogenesis, in which …

Exercise causes major shifts in multiple ions (eg, K+, Na+, H+, lactate–, Ca2+, and Cl–)
during muscle activity that contributes to development of muscle fatigue. Sarcolemmal …

The extracellular K+ concentration ([K+] o) increases during physical exercise. We here
studied whether moderately elevated [K+] o may increase force and power output during …

The influence of moderately elevated extracellular potassium concentration ([K+]) on muscle
force has marked similarities to that of posttetanic potentiation (PTP) in that twitch force may …

Non‐technical summary Contraction of the vertebrate skeletal muscle is dependent on the
excitation of the highly specialized plasma membrane of individual muscle fibres. Most of the …

Suxamethonium is considered by many to be the best drug for providing ideal intubating
conditions, short surgical procedures, and rapid sequence induction. However, its …
