Diffusion‐tensor magnetic resonance imaging captures increased skeletal muscle fibre diameters in Becker muscular dystrophy [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2023
Background Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an X‐linked disorder characterized by slow, progressive muscle damage and muscle weakness. Hallmarks include fibre‐size variation and replacement of skeletal muscle with fibrous and adipose tissues, after ...

Restricted maternal nutrition and supplementation of propylene glycol, monensin sodium and rumen‐protected choline chloride during late pregnancy does not affect muscle fibre characteristics of offspring [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023
Background Grazing in arid and semi‐arid regions faces pregnant ewes with feed restrictions and hence affects the offspring muscle fibre characteristics. Using feed additives that enhance nutrient availability during foetal muscle development is expected

Muscle fibre size and myonuclear positioning in trained and aged humans [PDF]

Experimental Physiology
Changes in myonuclear architecture and positioning are associated with exercise adaptations and ageing. However, data on the positioning and number of myonuclei following exercise are inconsistent.

Lifelong dietary protein restriction accelerates skeletal muscle loss and reduces muscle fibre size by impairing proteostasis and mitochondrial homeostasis [PDF]

Redox Biology
The early life environment significantly affects the development of age-related skeletal muscle disorders. However, the long-term effects of lactational protein restriction on skeletal muscle are still poorly defined.

Muscle fibre satellite cells are located at a greater distance from capillaries in patients with COPD compared with healthy controls [PDF]

ERJ Open Research
Background COPD is a disease characterised by skeletal muscle dysfunction. A spatial relationship exists between satellite cells and muscle fibre capillaries, which has been suggested to be of major importance for satellite cell function.

MicroRNA Transcriptome Profile Analysis in Porcine Muscle and the Effect of miR-143 on the MYH7 Gene and Protein. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Porcine skeletal muscle fibres are classified based on their different physiological and biochemical properties. Muscle fibre phenotype is regulated by several independent signalling pathways, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK ...

Software for muscle fibre type classification and analysis

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2009
Fibre type determination requires a large series of differently stained muscle sections. The manual identification of individual fibres through the series is tedious and time consuming.

MyHCs developmental expression patterns and its effect on muscle fibre characteristics in pig

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2020
This study comprehensively explored muscle fibre characteristics and expression patterns of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) family in skeletal muscles of Large White and Mashen pigs exhibiting differences in muscle fibre development in postnatal muscle growth.

Re-evaluation of sarcolemma injury and muscle swelling in human skeletal muscles after eccentric exercise. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The results regarding the effects of unaccustomed eccentric exercise on muscle tissue are often conflicting and the aetiology of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) induced by eccentric exercise is still unclear.
