ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle plays a vital role in voluntary movement and locomotion. Fast‐twitch muscle fibres are characterized by their rapid contraction kinetics, high‐force generation and a distinct gene expression profile compared to slow‐twitch fibres.

Utrophin Compensates dystrophin Loss during Mouse Spermatogenesis
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disorder resulting from mutations in the dystrophin gene. The mdx/utrn −/− mouse, lacking in both dystrophin and its autosomal homologue utrophin, is commonly used to model the clinical symptoms of

Anabolic Effects of Salbutamol Are Lost Upon Immobilization
ABSTRACT Background Periods of muscle disuse occur during hospitalization, illness or the recovery from (sports) injury and lead to a rapid loss of muscle mass and the development of insulin resistance. Salbutamol is a fast‐acting β2‐adrenoreceptor agonist that may improve muscle protein synthesis and insulin sensitivity during experimental muscle ...

ABSTRACT Background Cystinosis is a rare multisystem, autosomal recessive disease caused by dysfunction or loss of cystinosin (CTNS), which results in lysosomal cystine accumulation, primarily affecting the kidneys. Advances in renal transplantation, cysteamine treatment and improved medical care have increased life expectancy, revealing additional ...

ABSTRACT Background Mechanical inactivity rapidly induces diaphragm muscle fibres' contractile dysfunction and atrophy. Diaphragm weakness can impair respiratory function, quality of life and increase risks of morbidity and mortality. Muscle RING‐finger protein‐1 (MuRF1) expression is upregulated during denervation and muscle inactivity and is known to

ABSTRACT Background Apoptosis coincides with the differentiation of skeletal myoblasts, and numerous studies have shown that the apoptotic activity is required for myogenic differentiation. Although the role of apoptosis in skeletal muscle differentiation has been well documented, its mechanism is largely unknown.
