Physical exercise and oxidative stress in muscular dystrophies: is there a good balance? Exercise and oxidative stress in MDs [PDF]
The effect of oxidative stress on muscle damage inducted by physical exercise is widely debated. It is generally agreed that endurance and intense exercise can increase oxidative stress and generate changes in antioxidant power inducing muscle damage ...

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and speech problems [PDF]
Myotonic Dystrophy type 1(DM1), also called Steinert syndrome, is a multisystemic disorder transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner, characterized by myotonia. Muscles involved in voluntary movement are highly affected by myotonia especially distal

An online conserved SSR discovery through cross-species comparison [PDF]
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) play important roles in gene regulation and genome evolution. Although there exist several online resources for SSR mining, most of them only extract general SSR patterns without providing functional information.

In vivo assessment of muscle membrane properties in myotonic dystrophy [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Myotonia in myotonic dystrophy types 1 (DM1) and 2 (DM2) is generally attributed to reduced chloride channel conductance. We used muscle velocity recovery cycles (MVRCs) to investigate muscle membrane properties in DM1 and DM2, with ...

Muscular Dystrophies at Different Ages: Metabolic and Endocrine Alterations [PDF]
Common metabolic and endocrine alterations exist across a wide range of muscular dystrophies. Skeletal muscle plays an important role in glucose metabolism and is a major participant in different signaling pathways.

Oxidative Stress in DNA Repeat Expansion Disorders: A Focus on NRF2 Signaling Involvement [PDF]
DNA repeat expansion disorders are a group of neuromuscular and neurodegenerative diseases that arise from the inheritance of long tracts of nucleotide repetitions, located in the regulatory region, introns, or inside the coding sequence of a gene ...

Bcl-x Pre-mRNA splicing regulates brain injury after neonatal hypoxia-ischemia [PDF]
The bcl-x gene appears to play a critical role in regulating apoptosis in the developing and mature central nervous system (CNS) and following CNS injury. Two isoforms of Bcl-x are produced as a result of alternative pre-mRNA splicing: Bcl-x(L) (the long
