For conventional EMG, the pattern of insertional activity, the presence or absence of resting activity, the motor unit potentials morphology at moderate contraction, the pattern of recruitment, and the interference pattern at maximum effort were assessed.
Extensive needle electromyography revealed increased insertional activity, abundant fibrillations with positive sharp waves, and no fasciculations.
We also have not assayed samples for element insertional activity in this study.
Spontaneous activity, including prolonged insertional activity, fibrillation potentials, positive sharp waves, and complex repetitive discharges, was detected in the majority of muscles examined using EMG.
Two mechanisms have been recognized to facilitate generation of new TFBSs: insertional activity of transposable elements resulting in spreading of TFBSs (Bourque 2009) and mutational events.
Electromyography (EMG) of the appendicular and axial muscles including the masticatory muscles showed generalised abnormal spontaneous activity in 20 of 23 dogs, including positive sharp waves, fibrillation potentials, prolonged insertional activity, and occasional pseudomyotonia.
As a result, based on recent experimental and bioinformatic data, one might speculate that the high insertional activity of mouse L1s could play a significant part in shaping the structure and expression of the mouse transcriptome [ 6, 7].
Originally, it has been postulated that a key role of CpG methylation and deamination is in the inactivation of transposons and thus in protecting mammalian genomes from their insertional activity (Yoder et al. 1997; Zemach and Zilberman 2010).
Although TE copies fixed in the genome are most frequently neutral or even advantageous to the host organism, their uncontrolled proliferation and insertional activity may cause multiple genetic and developmental deleterious effects [ 12- 16].
In the context of normal activity and normal bone this is normal, physiological regeneration of bone.
