C14H10N4O5
formula, see observation
7261-97-4
CAS number
CONT

Dantrolene causes skeletal muscle relaxation through a direct effect on the muscle. This action appears to be due to a reduction of calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to the muscle action potential.

CONT

Le dantrolène produit la relaxation du muscle strié par un effet direct sur le muscle. Il semblerait que cette action soit le résultat d'une réduction de la quantité de calcium libéré du réticulum sarcoplasmique en réponse au potentiel d'action du muscle.

Record 5 2003-03-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Regulations and Standards (Food)
  • Slaughterhouses
DEF

The general outline of the muscle formation of a livestock carcass.

OBS

Although muscle depth is now included in the grading formula, its influence is minor. Because of this, a very large difference in muscling would be required to affect carcass index, therefore, the drawbacks of selecting for increased muscling are greater than the potential benefits.
