Muscle hypertrophy in myotonia congenita [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2003
A 28 year old male presented to our neurology service with stiffness of a few years’ duration in all muscles. The stiffness was maximum at the onset of exercise and his muscles loosened up after some time. He had no difficulty in releasing his grip after holding an object. He had very well developed muscles in spite …

Unusual Case of Masseter Muscle Hypertrophy in Adolescence—Case Report and Literature Overview

Diagnostics, 2022
Unilateral hypertrophy of the masseter muscle is a very rare pathological entity in children. Its etiology is uncertain and it requires a high degree of suspicion, as it must be differentiated from other conditions of the masseter area.

Roles played by protein metabolism and myogenic progenitor cells in exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy and their relation to resistance training regimens

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012
To learn the mechanisms underlying resistance exercise-induced muscle hypertrophy, recent studies on muscle protein metabolism and myogenic progenitor cells were reviewed. Numerous studies have suggested that activation of the translation process plays a

Aberrant muscle syndrome: Hypertrophy of the hand and arm due to aberrant muscles with or without hypertrophy of the muscles [PDF]

Congenital Anomalies, 2010
ABSTRACTFive patients were reported in our congenital anomaly registry who had six hands in total with muscular hyperplasia, aberrant muscles, ulnar drift of the fingers in the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints, flexion contractures of the MP joints, and enlargement of the metacarpal spaces.

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Early‐life high‐fat diet exposure increases Achilles tendon stiffness and induces transcriptomic alterations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Early‐life exposure to a high‐fat diet altered intact Achilles tendons in rat offspring, making them thinner, stiffer, and molecularly distinct even without injury. These findings suggest that developmental high‐fat diet exposure may impair tendon quality and increase susceptibility to mechanical overload or tendon injury later in life.

Hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle: A case report and review of the literature

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2017
Objectives: Muscle hypertrophy is a relatively rare condition that may cause nerve entrapment syndromes. We report the case of a 14-year-old girl with unilateral hypertrophy of the abductor hallucis muscle with entrapment of the medial plantar nerve and ...

Choroid Plexus Enlargement and USPIO‐Based Inflammatory Feature in Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The choroid plexus (CP) is a key component of the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB), but its mechanism of action in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. This study investigated CP volume (CPV) alterations and their association with conventional imaging markers in CSVD and explored the underlying role of ...

Primary muscle hypertrophy of the colon in a cat: a rare presentation

Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2015
In animals and humans, intestinal muscular hypertrophy has only been observed in the small intestine, and this appears to be the first report of the disease affecting the large intestine.

Effect of resistance training mainly depends on mechanical activation of fast-twitch fiber

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2022
This study conducted a secondary survey based on the hypothesis that the “total mechanical activation of fast-twitch fibers in the muscles determines the effects of muscle hypertrophy”, with resistance training of the knee extensor muscles as the target ...
