harmaline and Muscle Contraction

harmaline has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 10 studies

Harmaline: A beta-carboline alkaloid isolated from seeds of PEGANUM.
harmaline : A harmala alkaloid in which the harman skeleton is methoxy-substituted at C-7 and has been reduced across the 3,4 bond.

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.
