Na current density at and away from end plates on rat fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers

, 1992
Na current density and membrane capacitance were studied with the loose patch voltage clamp technique on rat fast- and slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers at three different regions on the fibers: 1) the end plate border, 2) greater than 200 microns from

Systemic pirfenidone treatment fails to mitigate fibrosis and compromises functional recovery in a porcine model of volumetric muscle loss

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Repurposing clinically approved antifibrotic agents presents a potential near‐term therapeutic strategy to mitigate the extensive fibrotic scarring that follows severe volumetric muscle loss (VML) injury and inhibits functional recovery. We hypothesized that daily oral administration of pirfenidone, an FDA‐approved antifibrotic, would mitigate

Morphological peculiarities of neuromuscular junctions among different fiber types: Effect of exercise

European Journal of Translational Myology, 2017
The aim of our research was to examine whether there are differences in the morphology of neuromuscular junctions of different types of muscle fibers in rodents, and after their adaptation to six weeks endurance exercise training. After 5-day acclimation,

Putting the brakes on muscle growth: Myostatin as regulator of disuse atrophy

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that rapidly adapts to changes in mechanical loading and metabolic activity. Periods of inactivity, including bed rest, limb immobilization or microgravity, induce a pronounced loss of muscle mass and function.

Elucidating the cellular determinants of the end‐systolic pressure‐volume relationship of the heart via computational modelling

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using a multiscale computational model of left ventricular electromechanics, we investigated how sarcomere dynamics influence the end‐systolic pressure‐volume (ESPV) relationship in ejecting beats compared to isovolumetric beats.

Loss of lysosomal acid lipase results in mitochondrial dysfunction and fiber switch in skeletal muscles of mice

Molecular Metabolism
Objective: Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is the only enzyme known to hydrolyze cholesteryl esters (CE) and triacylglycerols in lysosomes at an acidic pH.

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...

Slow and Fast Muscle Fibers [PDF]

, 1966
On the basis of the clear-cut differentiation used in fast (twitch) and slow (tonic) muscles of the frog, both the fast E.D.L. and the slow soleus muscle should be considered twitch muscles.

Angiotensin‐converting enzyme and exercise adaptations: Genetic variability, pharmacological modulation and future directions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend ACE I/D genotype, enzyme activity and integrated physiological adaptations. Upper panel: Conceptual framework linking the ACE I/D polymorphism (left) with circulating/tissue ACE activity (centre; violin plots based on hypothetical data for illustration) and strength/power versus endurance phenotypes (right).

Mitochondrial haplotype and sex modulate responses to endurance exercise training

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Using OKC‐HETB/W rats we demonstrate that mitochondrial haplotype influences training responses of endurance exercise. Overall OKC‐HETW rats showed greater responses than OKC‐HETB in exercise tolerance, mitochondrial bioenergetics, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation frequencies and motor co‐ordination.
