piracetam and Muscle Contraction

piracetam has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 6 studies

Piracetam: A compound suggested to be both a nootropic and a neuroprotective agent.

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.
