toluene and Muscle Contraction

toluene has been researched along with Muscle Contraction in 39 studies

methylbenzene : Any alkylbenzene that is benzene substituted with one or more methyl groups.

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.

"The methylene blue pretreatment induced the decrease of tracheal and lung tissue smooth muscle contraction amplitude increased by exogenous irritant--toluene."3.73Inhibition of guanylyl cyclase in the airways hyperreactivity. ( Antosova, M; Nosalova, G; Strapkova, A; Turcan, T, 2005)
" Moreover, activation of mTORC1 signalling displays a positive dose-response relationship with peak tension."1.51Activation of mTORC1 signalling in rat skeletal muscle is independent of the EC-coupling sequence but dependent on tension per se in a dose-response relationship.
