Human skeletal muscle plasmalemma alters its structure to change its Ca2+-handling following heavy-load resistance exercise

Heavy-load eccentric exercise causes an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+ that can damage muscles. Here the authors show that the t-tubule system remodels into vacuoles that can sequester calcium from the cytoplasm and are not responsive to store-operated Ca2+ entry, thereby potentially protecting muscle...
