Relationship between cortisone and muscle work in determining muscle size [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 1969 1. Large doses of cortisone caused marked atrophy of the plantaris muscle and other pale muscles of hind limbs of hypophysectomized rats, but hormone treatment had little effect on the size of the red soleus muscle.2. Denervation increased the sensitivity of the soleus and plantaris to the catabolic effects of cortisone.3.

Single cell analysis reveals the involvement of the long non-coding RNA Pvt1 in the modulation of muscle atrophy and mitochondrial network [PDF]
, 2019 Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important players in the regulation of several aspects of cellular biology. For a better comprehension of their function, it is fundamental to determine their tissue or cell specificity and to identify their

Spontaneous physical activity down-regulates Pax7 in cancer cachexia [PDF]
, 2015 Emerging evidence suggests that the muscle microenvironment plays a prominent role in cancer cachexia. We recently showed that NF-kB - induced Pax7 overexpression impairs the myogenic potential of muscle precursors in cachectic mice, suggesting that ...

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Size and Capillarity
Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1978 SummaryThe ATPase technique following preincubation in an acid medium (pH 3.8–4.0) was used to visualize capillaries. After preincubation at a pH of 4.5, in combination with the DPNH tetrazolium reductase, it was used to identify fiber types. A positive correlation has been demonstrated between fiber cross sectional area and C:F, indicating that large ...

Weekly Versus Monthly Testosterone Administration On Fast and Slow Skeletal Muscle Fibers in Older Adult Males [PDF]
, 2014 Context: In older adults, loss of mobility due to sarcopenia is exacerbated in men with low serum T. T replacement therapy is known to increase muscle mass and strength, but the effect of weekly (WK) vs monthly (MO) administration on specific fiber types
