Prevention of bone loss during 56 days of strict bed rest by side-alternating resistive vibration exercise [PDF]

, 2010
Bed rest is a recognized model for muscle atrophy and bone loss in space flight and in clinical medicine. We hypothesized that whole body vibration in combination with resistive exercise (RVE) would be an effective countermeasure.

Paradoxical sleep deprivation induces muscle atrophy

, 2012
Introduction: Because paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) induces a catabolic hormone profile, we sought to evaluate the morphology of the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle and testosterone and corticosterone levels of paradoxical sleepdeprived rats.Methods:

PGC-1a in muscle links metabolism to inflammation [PDF]

, 2009
1. In higher eukaryotes, metabolism and immunity are tightly coupled. However, whereas in evolutionary terms, a compromised immune response due to undernourishment has been the predominant problem, the inflammatory response to obesity and other life ...

The role of myostatin during postnatal myogenesis and sarcopenia [PDF]

, 2007
Myostatin, a TGF-β superfamily member, is a key negative regulator of embryonic and postnatal muscle growth. In order to further elucidate the role of myostatin during postnatal growth, several lines of investigation were undertaken in mice.

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.
