alfuzosin and Muscle Contraction

alfuzosin has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 8 studies

alfuzosin: structure given in first source

Muscle Contraction: A process leading to shortening and/or development of tension in muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs by a sliding filament mechanism whereby actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments.
