Relationship of aging, skeletal muscle mass, and tooth loss with masseter muscle thickness

BMC Geriatrics, 2018
Background Previous studies have reported a relationship between masseter muscle thickness and tooth loss or limb muscle thickness. However, it is not yet known whether masseter muscle thickness is related to appendicular skeletal muscle mass, and grip ...

Transcription factor MITF regulates masseter muscle growth and development [PDF]

Physiological Reports
The microphthalmic mouse with a mutation at the locus of the microphthalmia‐associated transcriptional factor (MITF) gene exhibits masticatory dysfunction due to impaired masseter muscle development and needs to be fed with powdered diet.

Protective Effects of Clenbuterol against Dexamethasone-Induced Masseter Muscle Atrophy and Myosin Heavy Chain Transition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Glucocorticoid has a direct catabolic effect on skeletal muscle, leading to muscle atrophy, but no effective pharmacotherapy is available. We reported that clenbuterol (CB) induced masseter muscle hypertrophy and slow-to-fast myosin heavy chain (MHC ...
