Pterostilbene Enhances Endurance Capacity via Promoting Skeletal Muscle Adaptations to Exercise Training in Rats

Molecules, 2020
It has been demonstrated that skeletal muscle adaptions, including muscle fibers transition, angiogenesis, and mitochondrial biogenesis are involved in the regular exercise-induced improvement of endurance capacity and metabolic status.

Human faces are slower than chimpanzee faces. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
While humans (like other primates) communicate with facial expressions, the evolution of speech added a new function to the facial muscles (facial expression muscles).

Effects of MgATP and MgADP on the cross-bridge kinetics of rabbit soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers

Biophysical Journal, 1996
The elementary steps surrounding the nucleotide binding step in the cross-bridge cycle were investigated with sinusoidal analysis in rabbit soleus slow-twitch muscle fibers. The single-fiber preparations were activated at pCa 4.40, ionic strength 180 mM, 20 degrees C, and the effects of MgATP (S) and MgADP (D) concentrations on three exponential ...

From regulatory mechanisms to cutting‐edge applications: Research progress of ultrasound, electrical, magnetic, and optical stimulation in neural modulation

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, the clinical treatment and symptom management of neurological disorders have faced significant challenges due to the high complexity of the nervous system's structure and function. Against this backdrop, physical stimulation techniques have emerged as a vital complementary approach to traditional pharmacological treatments and

Developmental characteristics of skeletal muscle in goose during the embryonic and early post-hatching periods

Poultry Science
Geese exhibit relatively low meat production and growth efficiency compared to broilers and ducks, with muscle fiber being key determinant of meat yield. The embryonic stage and early post-hatching period are critical for muscle fiber differentiation and

The Musculoskeletal Consequences of Mouth Breathing in Adults: A Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Chronic mouth breathing can have a negative impact on posture, cause temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), reduced masticatory muscle activity and efficiency, and suprahyoid muscle overuse. Postural changes include a head forward posture and increased lumbar lordosis.

CHCHD4-TRIAP1 regulation of innate immune signaling mediates skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise

Cell Reports
Summary: Exercise training can stimulate the formation of fatty-acid-oxidizing slow-twitch skeletal muscle fibers, which are inversely correlated with obesity, but the molecular mechanism underlying this transformation requires further elucidation. Here,

Exteroceptive Reflexes in Stiff Person Syndrome, Other Neurological Conditions and Healthy Controls

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare disabling neurological condition with overlapping symptomatology with more common neurological conditions. Exaggerated exteroceptive reflex mechanisms are thought to play a role in its pathophysiology.

Muscle fiber-type specific terminal Schwann cell pathology leads to sprouting deficits following partial denervation in SOD1G93A mice

Neurobiology of Disease, 2020
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an adult-onset disease characterized by the progressive death of motoneurons and denervation of muscle fibers. To restore motor function, surviving motoneurons in partially denervated muscles typically sprout axons ...

Involvement of neuronal and muscular Trk-fused gene (TFG) defects in the development of neurodegenerative diseases

Scientific Reports, 2022
Trk-fused gene (TFG) mutations have been identified in patients with several neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we attempted to clarify the effects of TFG deletions in motor neurons and in muscle fibers, using tissue-specific TFG knockout (vMNTFG
