Immunolocalization of dystrophin and neurofilament protein in muscle spindles of normal, mdx-dystrophic, and denervated mice
… in polar and equatorial regions of the intrafusal fibers. Spindles were serially-sectioned in transverse and longitudinal planes, and they were double-labelled with an antibody to dystrophin and with a 200 kD neurofilament protein antibody which revealed their sensory innervation. By …

Pax3 expression in satellite cells of avian skeletal muscle spindles during normal development and with experimental muscle overload
… muscle hypertrophy, regeneration and repair. Intrafusal fibers of muscle spindles are thought to persist in a comparatively immature state as, unlike extrafusal fibers, they maintain small diameters, developmental myosins, Myf5 expression and high SC concentrations. This thesis tests the …

The effects of tonic muscle pain on the sympathetic and somatic motor systems in humans
… mechanism. Increased gamma-motor drive causes intrafusal fibres to contract increasing muscle spindle afferent firing. This activity in turn will raise the likelihood of activation in the pool of alpha-motorneurones projecting to the primary muscle increasing resting muscle tonus. Muscle …
