Experiment K-6-08. Biochemical and histochemical observations of vastus medialis [PDF]
Muscles of the hindlimb in the rat have been used to demonstrate the effects of unloading in weightlessness and in animal models used to mimic weightlessness. The vastus medialis (VM) is discussed here.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.When travelling and feeding in the canopy, the western lowland gorillas engaged in bipedal locomotion likely as a strategy to mitigate the risk of falling at the cost of increased energy expenditure. Abstract Western lowland gorillas are the largest and most sexually dimorphic ape that habitually exploits arboreal environments.

Muscle Unloading Induced Sex Specific Neurophysiological and Myofiber Profile Adaptations [PDF]
, 2015 Muscle unloading affects a muscle’s ability to produce a contractile force and it affects the muscle’s endurance. The objective of this project was to investigate the differences between males and females and their neurophysiological adaptations to ...

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

The effect of HIIT before and after hindlimb suspension on the gene expression of MSTN and ActrIIB in skeletal muscle of male Wistar rats [PDF]
فصلنامه ابن سیناBackground and aims: Exercise training is employed as a practical method to combat muscle atrophy. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) conducted before and after hindlimb suspension (HLS) on

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Understanding the turnover of proteins in tissues gives information as to how external stimuli result in phenotypic change. Nowhere is such phenotypic change more conspicuous than skeletal muscle, which can be effectively remodelled by increased loading, ageing and unloading (disuse), all of which are subject to modification by nutrition and ...
