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.

Crossroads between peripheral atherosclerosis, western-type diet and skeletal muscle pathophysiology: emphasis on apolipoprotein E deficiency and peripheral arterial disease [PDF]
, 2017 Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that, in the presence of hyperlipidaemia, promotes the formation of atheromatous plaques in large vessels of the cardiovascular system.

The effects of hibernation on the contractile and biochemical properties of skeletal muscles in the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus [PDF]
, 2013 Hibernation is a crucial strategy of winter survival used by many mammals. During hibernation, thirteen-lined ground squirrels, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus, cycle through a series of torpor bouts, each lasting more than a week, during which the animals ...

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 ...

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.

Testosterone insulin-like effects: an in vitro study on the short-term metabolic effects of testosterone in human skeletal muscle cells [PDF]
, 2017 Testosterone by promoting different metabolic pathways contributes to short-term homeostasis of skeletal muscle, the largest insulin-sensitive tissue and the primary site for insulin-stimulated glucose utilization.

A personal historic perspective on the role of chloride in skeletal and cardiac muscle [PDF]
, 2017 During the early decades of the last century, skeletal muscle was held to be impermeable to chloride ions. This theory, based on shaky grounds, was famously falsified by Boyle and Conway in 1941.

Repairing skeletal muscle: regenerative potential of skeletal muscle stem cells [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2010 Skeletal muscle damaged by injury or by degenerative diseases such as muscular dystrophy is able to regenerate new muscle fibers. Regeneration mainly depends upon satellite cells, myogenic progenitors localized between the basal lamina and the muscle fiber membrane.

Human cachexia induces changes in mitochondria, autophagy and apoptosis in the skeletal muscle [PDF]
, 2019 Cachexia is a wasting syndrome characterized by the continuous loss of skeletal muscle mass due to imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation, which is related with poor prognosis and compromised quality of life.
