The Structural Adaptations That Mediate Disuse-Induced Atrophy of Skeletal Muscle
Cells, 2023 The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass plays a fundamental role in health and issues associated with quality of life. Mechanical signals are one of the most potent regulators of muscle mass, with a decrease in mechanical loading leading to a decrease in

Ultrasonographic measurements of fascicle length overestimate adaptations in serial sarcomere number
Experimental Physiology, 2023 Ultrasound‐derived measurements of muscle fascicle length (FL) are often used to infer increases (chronic stretch or training) or decreases (muscle disuse or aging) in serial sarcomere number (SSN).

Do triceps surae muscle dynamics govern non-uniform Achilles tendon deformations? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The human Achilles tendon (AT) consists of sub-tendons arising from the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles that exhibit non-uniform tissue displacements thought to facilitate some independent actuation.

Maximal fascicle shortening velocity measurements in human medial gastrocnemius muscle in vivo
Physiological Reports, 2023 This study evaluated the maximal fascicle shortening velocity under near‐no‐load conditions. In addition, we determined whether the rate of torque development during ballistic contraction was related to maximal fascicle shortening velocity. Under passive

Endoneural selective stimulating using wire-microelectrode arrays [PDF]
, 1999 In acute experiments eight 5- to 24-wire-microelectrode arrays were inserted into the common peroneal nerve of the rat, to investigate whether the electrodes could selectively stimulate motor units of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle.

Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions, 2021 Introduction White matter (WM) energy supply is crucial for axonal function and myelin maintenance. An exogenous source of ketones, the brain's alternative fuel to glucose, bypasses the brain's glucose‐specific energy deficit and improves cognitive ...
