It is generally accepted that such increases result from enzyme leakage from skeletal muscles or other tissues due to mechanical damage or increased membrane permeability related to the emergence of exertional rhabdomyolysis.
Submergence subjects plants to the stresses of low light, limited gas diffusion, effusion of soil nutrients, mechanical damage, and increased susceptibility to pests and diseases (Greenway and Setter 1996; Ram et al. 1999).
Abnormally high serum activities of these enzymes are indicative of their leakage from skeletal muscle or other tissues into the bloodstream due to mechanical damage or increased membrane permeability.
The danger of mechanical damage for all seeds increased with increasing air velocity.
Furthermore, the mechanical damage can significantly increase the hydraulic conductivity.
sapling shoot damage, increasing sapling mortality.
The results showed that the mechanical damage caused an increase in the skin friction available, due to the damage mechanisms observed.
For some transcripts mechanical damage induced an increase in their corresponding mRNA levels which was potentiated several fold by 18 3-Glu elicitation (e.g., 5869, 18 3-Gluigurelicitation
The friction mobilised in the solid area of the geogrids increased after mechanical damage, which depended on the geogrid and on the consequences of mechanical damage.
Newer theories on the cause of glaucoma involve various vascular and toxic effects on the optic nerve rather than simple mechanical damage to the nerve from increased ocular pressure.
