| Abstract: | Summary Measurements done on electron micrographs show that in myofibres with sarcomeres contracted to below 2.1  m, proportional shortening of the A bands occurs. In muscles from patients with idiopathic scoliosis very short A bands are especially prominent.This work was supported by the Muscular Dystrophy Association of America.We wish to thank H. Orgal and Y. Havivi, for their technical assistance, O. Carmi and B. Ghidoni for their help with the measurements and N. Vagenberg for the computer analyses. |
