The problem Of muscle hypertrophy: Revisited
Muscle & Nerve, 2016ABSTRACTIn this paper we revisit a topic originally discussed in 1955, namely the lack of direct evidence that muscle hypertrophy from exercise plays an important role in increasing strength. To this day, long‐term adaptations in strength are thought to be primarily contingent on changes in muscle size.

Muscle hypertrophy in men and women
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 1988It is widely believed that women experience less skeletal muscle hypertrophy consequent to heavy-resistance training than men. The purpose of this study was to test this hypothesis using both traditional indirect indicators as well as a direct measure of muscle size.

Unilateral hypertrophy of masseter muscle
The American Journal of Surgery, 1954Abstract These cases are reported to swell the scanty volume of literature on the subject of simple masseter hypertrophy, and to bring to our minds one of the rarer causes of unilateral and bilateral swelling in the side of the face in young men and women.

Familial hypertrophy of masticatory muscles
Journal of Neurology, 1987Three familial cases of idiopathic hypertrophy of the masticatory muscles are reported. The muscular enlargement was noted in late childhood or early adult life, was bilateral, insidious, painless and non-progressive. Electrophysiological and laboratory findings were normal in one case.

Signaling in Muscle Atrophy and Hypertrophy
Physiology, 2008Muscle performance is influenced by turnover of contractile proteins. Production of new myofibrils and degradation of existing proteins is a delicate balance, which, depending on the condition, can promote muscle growth or loss. Protein synthesis and protein degradation are coordinately regulated by pathways that are influenced by mechanical stress ...

Muscle Atrophy and Hypertrophy
2015Muscle atrophy is usually caused by interruption of axonal flow [axonal neuropathies, motor neuron diseases (MNDs), etc.]. If weakness is out of proportion to atrophy, demyelinating neuropathy should be suspected. Chronic myopathies and immobility also may cause atrophy, but no electromyography (EMG) evidence of denervation or myopathy is found.

Hypertrophy of intestinal smooth muscle
Cell and Tissue Research, 1975Proximal to an experimental stenosis of the small intestine of rats and guinea-pigs a remarkable hypertrophy of the muscle coat develops 3-5 weeks after the operation. There is no increase in the length of the intestine but an overall increase in volume of the muscularis externa up to 10 times.

Hypertrophy of visceral smooth muscle
Anatomy and Embryology, 1990Smooth muscles of viscera undergo a large increase in volume when there is a chronic, partial obstruction impairing the flow of lumenal contents. Hypertrophy of smooth muscle occurs in various medical conditions and several methods are available for inducing it experimentally in laboratory animals, especially in urinary bladder, small intestine and ...

Unilateral temporalis muscle hypertrophy with contralateral masseteric hypertrophy
Dentomaxillofacial Radiology, 2007We report the MRI findings of a 22-year-old woman who complained of localized swelling in the left temporal region and right side of the face. MRI revealed left temporal and right masseter muscle hypertrophy, which to our knowledge has not been reported previously. The diagnosis of benign masticatory muscle hypertrophy was confirmed by biopsy.

Dietary Protein for Muscle Hypertrophy
2013Skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a beneficial adaptation for many individuals. The metabolic basis for muscle hypertrophy is the balance between the rates of muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB), i.e. net muscle protein balance (NMPB = MPS - MPB). Resistance exercise potentiates the response of muscle to protein ingestion for
