The muscle biopsy technique. Historical and methodological considerations
Scand J Med Sci Sports.
2017 May.
Abstract
The muscle biopsy method is an important tool for clinical and scientific work. In this study, the two most used instruments, the Bergström needle and the Well-Blakesley conchotome, are described. The technique of using those instruments, risks, and other considerations are discussed. Finally, a few consequences and the error of the method for determining muscle fiber type, fiber area, substrates, and metabolites are presented.
Keywords: Bergström needle; Well-Blakesley conchotome; consequences; methodological error.
