Glycogen Depletion of Human Skeletal Muscle Fibers in Response to High-Frequency Electrical Stimulation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the pattern of change in muscular glycogen content in response to high-frequency electrical stimulation (HFES). Muscle biopsies were taken from the vastus lateralis muscle of 7 healthy young men before, 15 min after, and 30 min after electrical stimulation delivered at a 50-Hz frequency (15 s on, 45 s off) at an intensity of 100 mA. The glycogen content of type I, IIA, and IIB muscle fibres was evaluated using microphotometry of periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stained fibres. After 15 min of electrical stimulation, the glycogen content in type I, IIA, and IIB muscle fibres significantly decreased from 113 +/- 10 (mean +/- SE) to 103 +/- 10 (p < or = 0.05), 129 +/- 9 to 102 +/- 12 (p < or = 0.01), and 118 +/- 8 to 90 +/- 13 (p < or = 0.01) arbitrary relative units, respectively. No further decrement in glycogen content was observed in all three fibre types following an additional 15 min of HFES. In addition, isometric force decreased by approximately 50%, from 125.9 +/- 20.0 N to 64.2 +/- 7.7 N (p < or = 0.01), during the first 15 contractions. No further decrease in isometric force was observed following an additional 15 contractions of HFES. These results reveal that significant reductions in isometric force of knee extensor muscles and glycogen content of all human skeletal muscle fibre types in vastus lateralis muscle are observable after 15 min of neuromuscular high-frequency transcutaneous electrical stimulation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
