The emerging role of exercise preconditioning in preventing skeletal muscle atrophy

Frontiers in Physiology
Skeletal muscle atrophy, characterized by the loss of muscle mass and function, can result from disuse, aging, disease, drug. Exercise preconditioning—a form of exercise training performed before these harmful threats—induces notable remodeling and ...

Metabolic Networks Influencing Skeletal Muscle Fiber Composition

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2018
Advancements in metabolomic and genomic research tools are revealing new insights into how metabolic networks can influence skeletal muscle fiber composition. In this mini-review, we summarize the recent progress of metabolite-dependent signaling pathways and transcriptional regulators that control glycolytic and oxidative metabolism and ultimately ...

Membrane Sealing in Frog Skeletal-Muscle Fibers [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1973
Self-sealing, not found in frog skeletal muscle fibers immersed in Ringer's solution, can be induced by solutions rich in calcium ion. Strontium replaced calcium on the sealing process, but magnesium did not. The sealing accomplished in high-calcium media was preserved in those fibers reimmersed in normal Ringer's solution.

Targeting Post‐Irradiation Thyroid Dysfunction: Electrospun Scaffolds As A Dual‐Action Approach for Antioxidant and Immune Modulation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Radiation‐induced hypothyroidism follows head and neck radiotherapy due to oxidative stress and inflammation. Electrospun polycaprolactone scaffolds containing adenosine have potential to modulate thyroid repair. Scaffolds enhance thyrocyte proliferation, antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase and catalase, reduce senescence and apoptosis markers ...

Patient‐Derived 3D Bioprinted Cardiac Organoid Constructs Reveal Key Pathological Features of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived cardiac organoids reveal key features of Duchenne muscular dystrophy cardiomyopathy, including apoptosis, oxidative stress, calcium handling defects, and mechanical remodeling. By integrating organoids into alginate–gelatin bioprinted constructs, disease phenotypes are organized into scalable 3D cardiac tissues displaying extracellular ...

Ethanol Exposure Causes Muscle Degeneration in Zebrafish

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2018
Alcoholic myopathies are characterized by neuromusculoskeletal symptoms such as compromised movement and weakness. Although these symptoms have been attributed to neurological damage, EtOH may also target skeletal muscle.
