Skeletal muscle fiber plasticity: Heat shock proteins and satellite cell activation
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012 Skeletal muscles have defensive and regenerative systems to protect them from severe injury and/or fiber degeneration. Several stresses, including muscle-contraction during exercise and heat stress, induce the specific proteins named heat shock proteins (

Differential response of skeletal muscles to mTORC1 signaling during atrophy and hypertrophy [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle mass is determined by the balance between protein synthesis and degradation. Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a master regulator of protein translation and has been implicated in the control of muscle mass ...

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Size and Capillarity
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1978 SummaryThe ATPase technique following preincubation in an acid medium (pH 3.8–4.0) was used to visualize capillaries. After preincubation at a pH of 4.5, in combination with the DPNH tetrazolium reductase, it was used to identify fiber types. A positive correlation has been demonstrated between fiber cross sectional area and C:F, indicating that large ...

Study of calcium sparks in skeletal and smooth muscle cells in normal and pathological conditions [PDF]
, 2016 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 ...

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2019 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]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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.

Noninvasive Estimation of Myosin Heavy Chain Composition in Human Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
, 2011 Purpose: Information on muscle fiber type composition is of great importance in muscle physiology and athletic performance. Because there are only a few techniques available that noninvasively and accurately provide an estimate of muscle fiber type ...

The significance of lipoprotein lipase in rat skeletal muscles
Journal of Lipid Research, 1977 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 ...

The slow sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase declines independently of slow myosin in soleus muscle of diabetic rats [PDF]
, 2009 The sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) isoforms are normally expressed in coordination with the corresponding myosin heavy chain (MyHC) isoforms in the fibers of skeletal muscle but this coordination is often disrupted in pathological conditions.
