Catalase in skeletal muscle fibers. [PDF]
Catalase has been localized immunocytochemically with anti-bovine catalase in long thin filament structures in aerobic type I fibers in the skeletal muscles of normal and genetically dystrophic hamsters. The filaments range in length from 1 to 60 micron, are orientated regularly along the long axis of the fibers, and also seem to surround and project ...

Study of calcium sparks in skeletal and smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
mTOR signaling influence a wide range of cellular process including protein synthesis (Iadevaia et al., 2012; Ma and Blenis, 2009; Thoreen et al., 2012), lipids synthesis (Lamming and Sabatini, 2013), transcription (Dibble and Manning, 2013; Vazquez ...

In addition to driving contraction of skeletal muscles, acetylcholine (ACh) acts as an anti-synaptogenic agent at neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Previous studies suggest that aging is accompanied by increases in cholinergic activity at the NMJ, which ...

Fast skeletal muscle troponin activation increases force of mouse fast skeletal muscle and ameliorates weakness due to nebulin-deficiency. [PDF]
The effect of the fast skeletal muscle troponin activator, CK-2066260, on calcium-induced force development was studied in skinned fast skeletal muscle fibers from wildtype (WT) and nebulin deficient (NEB KO) mice.

Skeletal muscle fiber-type switching, exercise intolerance, and myopathy in PGC-1alpha muscle-specific knock-out animals. [PDF]
The transcriptional coactivator peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha) is a key integrator of neuromuscular activity in skeletal muscle.

The significance of lipoprotein lipase in rat skeletal muscles
Lipoprotein lipase was assayed in extracts of acetone-ether powders of rat skeletal muscles. Enzyme activity in soleus had typical characteristics of lipoprotein lipase in other tissues: inhibition by molar NaCl and protamine sulfate and activation by ...

PGC-1α modulates skeletal muscle regeneration by affecting immune response and satellite cell behavior [PDF]
The benefits of exercise on wellbeing have been known to mankind for thousands of years, yet the underlying mechanisms of exercise have been explained only relatively recently.

The influence of training status, age, and muscle fiber type on cycling efficiency and endurance performance. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of age, training status, and muscle fiber-type distribution on cycling efficiency. Forty men were recruited into one of four groups: young and old trained cyclists, and young and old untrained ...

Role of the JP45-Calsequestrin Complex on Calcium Entry in Slow Twitch Skeletal Muscles [PDF]
We exploited a variety of mouse models to assess the roles of JP45-CASQ1 (CASQ, calsequestrin) and JP45-CASQ2 on calcium entry in slow twitch muscles.
