2021 journal article

Anatomical and ontogenetic influences on muscle density

SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 11(1).

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n, K. Omstead*, A. Burrows*, A. Hartstone-Rose n

MeSH headings : Age Factors; Aging / physiology; Animals; Biomechanical Phenomena / physiology; Female; Forelimb; Head; Hindlimb; Male; Models, Biological; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / cytology; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / anatomy & histology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology; Rabbits; Torso
TL;DR: Overall, it is observed that older individuals tend to have denser muscles than younger individuals, and significant differences in muscle density between anatomic regions within the older cohorts, though none in the youngest cohort. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effects of freezing and short-term fixation on muscle mass, volume, and density

Leonard, K. C., Worden, N., Boettcher, M. L., Dickinson, E., & Hartstone-Rose, A. (2021, May 6). ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Vol. 5.

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n & A. Hartstone-Rose n

author keywords: correction; ethanol; formalin; preparation
MeSH headings : Animals; Ethanol; Formaldehyde; Freezing; Muscles; Rabbits; Tissue Fixation
TL;DR: Although freezing may have less of an effect on the gross morphometric characteristics of the musculature than ethanol storage, slow freezing damages muscle microanatomy, and therefore, faster freezing and other modes of preservation such as formalin fixation and ethanol storage may be preferable.

2021 journal article

Effects of long-term ethanol storage on muscle architecture

ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, 305(1), 184–198.

By: K. Leonard n, N. Worden n, M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n & A. Hartstone-Rose n

author keywords: correction; density; mass; PCSA; volume
MeSH headings : Animals; Ethanol; Mice; Muscle Fibers, Skeletal; Muscle, Skeletal / diagnostic imaging
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that muscle mass, volume, and density of specimens stored long‐term in ethanol should be corrected by factors of 2.64, 2.49, and 1.054 respectively for comparability to fresh specimens. (via Semantic Scholar)

2020 article

Anatomical reorganization within the hand and forelimb of <it>Perodicticus potto</it>

Boettcher, M., Dickinson, E., Leonard, K., Herrel, A., & Hartstone-Rose, A. (2020, April). FASEB JOURNAL, Vol. 34.

By: M. Boettcher*, E. Dickinson n, K. Leonard n, A. Herrel* & A. Hartstone-Rose n

TL;DR: Despite reports of the potto’s high grip strength, the findings demonstrate relatively below‐average force capacity (relatively low physiological cross‐sectional area) within the digital flexors of this species, which suggests that the gripping ability ofThis species may be less extraordinary than previously hypothesized.

2019 journal article

Extraordinary grip strength and specialized myology in the hyper-derived hand of Perodicticus potto?

JOURNAL OF ANATOMY, 235(5), 931–939.

By: M. Boettcher n, K. Leonard n, E. Dickinson n, A. Herrel* & A. Hartstone-Rose n

author keywords: arboreality; forearm; functional morphology; muscle architecture; PCSA
MeSH headings : Animals; Forearm / anatomy & histology; Forearm / physiology; Hand Strength / physiology; Lorisidae / anatomy & histology; Lorisidae / physiology; Muscle, Skeletal / anatomy & histology; Muscle, Skeletal / physiology
TL;DR: This study quantifies the physiological cross‐sectional area of the digital flexor muscles within P. potto and identifies other myological characteristics in the upper limb of the African lorisid that were unexpected, including the largest brachioradialis muscle (an elbow flexor) among the authors' primate sample.
