Skeletal Muscle, 2023 Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations in DMD gene and loss of the protein dystrophin, which ultimately leads to myofiber membrane fragility and necrosis, with eventual muscle atrophy and contractures.

The Scientific World Journal, 2013 In the beginning of the last century, muscle proteins were viewed as static structural molecules not capable of being utilized by other tissues or organs. This concept was accepted until the 30s, where Rudolf Schoenheimer presented strong evidences about the “Dynamic State of Body Constituents,” which means that skeletal muscle is not only capable of ...

Autophagy in skeletal muscle [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2010 Muscle mass represents 40–50% of the human body and, in mammals, is one of the most important sites for the control of metabolism. Moreover, during catabolic conditions, muscle proteins are mobilized to sustain gluconeogenesis in the liver and to provide alternative energy substrates for organs.

Skeletal Muscle Mitochondria and Aging: A Review
Journal of Aging Research, 2012 Aging is characterized by a progressive loss of muscle mass and muscle strength. Declines in skeletal muscle mitochondria are thought to play a primary role in this process.

Targeting healthspan to optimally combat non-communicable disease in an aging world
Sports Medicine and Health Science, 2019 Human lifespan and life expectancy have increased worldwide, but the number of years that we spend free of chronic or debilitating disorders, known as healthspan, has not shifted along with increased lifespan.

An updated C. elegans nuclear body muscle transcriptome for studies in muscle formation and function
Skeletal Muscle, 2023 The body muscle is an important tissue used in organisms for proper viability and locomotion. Although this tissue is generally well studied and characterized, and many pathways have been elucidated throughout the years, we still lack a comprehensive ...
