Effects of alcohol on skeletal muscle contractile performance in male and female mice.

<h4>Background</h4>Acute and chronic alcohol use can cause skeletal muscle myopathy in concert with impairments in skeletal muscle strength, function and fatigue resistance. However, the fundamental contractile deficits induced in the presence of alcohol versus those observed in the reco...
