Muscle ultrasound in hereditary muscle disease [PDF]

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2022
In this review we summarise the key techniques of muscle ultrasound as they apply to hereditary muscle disease. We review the diagnostic utility of muscle ultrasound including its role in guiding electromyography and muscle biopsy sampling. We summarize the different patterns of sonographic muscle involvement in the major categories of genetic muscle ...

Trends in concentrations of atmospheric gaseous and particulate species in rural eastern Tennessee as related to primary emission reductions [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015
Air quality measurements at Look Rock, Tennessee – on the western edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park – were begun in 1980 and expanded during the 1980s to a National Park Service (NPS) IMPROVE network station.

HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibition protects skeletal muscle from eccentric contraction-induced injury

Skeletal Muscle, 2018
Background In muscular dystrophy and old age, skeletal muscle repair is compromised leading to fibrosis and fatty tissue accumulation. Therefore, therapies that protect skeletal muscle or enhance repair would be valuable medical treatments.

The influence of age, sex, and exercise on autophagy, mitophagy, and lysosome biogenesis in skeletal muscle

Skeletal Muscle, 2022
Background Aging decreases skeletal muscle mass and quality. Maintenance of healthy muscle is regulated by a balance between protein and organellar synthesis and their degradation.

Distinct mechanisms involving diacylglycerol, ceramides, and inflammation underlie insulin resistance in oxidative and glycolytic muscles from high fat-fed rats

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study investigated whether oxidative and glycolytic rat skeletal muscles respond differently to a high-fat (HF) sucrose-enriched diet with respect to diacylglycerol (DAG) and ceramides accumulation, protein kinase C (PKC) activation, glucose ...

Capillary muscle [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Significance The force generated by a muscle decreases when its contraction velocity increases. This rheology follows the heuristic Hill’s equation. Here, we design and study a capillary analog in which the myosin–actin interaction is replaced by the wetting affinity between a Newtonian silicone oil and a steel rod.

Glycine administration attenuates progression of dystrophic pathology in prednisolone-treated dystrophin/utrophin null mice

Scientific Reports, 2019
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked genetic disease characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness and premature death. Glucocorticoids (e.g.

Muscling In on Cancer [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
Investigators recently described a study of mouse models of cancer, in which they found that contracting muscle fibers synthesize an anticancer myokine, interleukin-6.

Muscle versus Snail: Muscle wins [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 2016
Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) are often governed by the transcription factor Snail and entail the loss of apical junctions from epithelial cells. In this issue, Weng and Wieschaus (2016. J Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201508056) report that actomyosin contractility can strengthen junctions to override Snail-dependent junctional ...
