| pubmed-article:10579056 | pubmed:abstractText | Myosin heavy chain (MHC) fragment is part of a structural or force-bearing protein expressed in the thick filament of muscle fibres. Since MHC fragment is a contractile protein, an increase in plasma MHC concentrations after muscle injury indicates degradation of the contractile apparatus. This study was conducted to determine whether MHC concentrations could be a tool in the assessment of tissue damage in patients with myoskeletal injuries. | lld:pubmed |
