Analysis of Muscle Activity Utilizing Bench Presses in the AnyBody Simulation Modelling System

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2016
Using the AnyBody human modeling system with identical weights and varying grip distance (40.0 cm, 50.0 cm, and 60.0 cm), the stress distribution for the pectoralis and the muscle of upper extremity during a bench press was simulated, and the surface ...

Regulation of glycolysis in the pectoralis muscles of seasonally acclimatized American goldfinches exposed to cold

, 1990
Regulation of glycolysis was assessed in winter- and summer-acclimatized goldfinches (Carduelis tristis). We exposed birds to a thermo-neutral temperature (30 degrees C), moderate cold (-15 degrees C), and severe cold (0 degrees C in an atmosphere of 21%

Re‐thinking peripheral dysfunctions in obesity: The emerging role of sulphaceutics and sulphanutraceutics

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Obesity is a chronic, relapsing, multisystem disease in which cardiometabolic risk arises from excess adiposity and progressive dysfunction of peripheral organs, ultimately disrupting endocrine and metabolic crosstalk among tissues. Within this network, sulphur‐based biology, centred on hydrogen sulphide and related reactive sulphur species, has ...

International consensus recommendations for identifying malnutrition in children with neurological impairment

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Children with neurological impairment (CNI) are at increased risk of malnutrition because of functional, medical, and socioeconomic challenges. However, difficulties in obtaining reliable anthropometric measurements and differences in body composition limit the usefulness of conventional nutritional indicators.

Evaluation and comparison of electromyographic activity in bench press with feet on the ground and active hip flexion.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the levels of electromyographic activation in the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, forearm, rectus abdominis, external oblique, and rectus femoris muscles during a horizontal bench press

β-Alanine Enhances Brain and Muscle Carnosine Levels in Broiler Chicks

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2012
Carnosine and its methylated derivative anserine are dipeptides present in high levels in chicken muscles. They are antioxidants and putative neurotransmitters. If administration of β-alanine, one of the constituents of carnosine, could increase levels

Reliability and Validity of Shear Wave Elastography in Assessing Pectoralis Muscles Stiffness: A Systematic Review

Muscle stiffness is a critical biomechanical property that influences joint function and neuromuscular control, with deviations often indicating underlying pathology.

Scratching beneath the surface: Quantification of muscle architecture and myosin heavy chain content in the forelimbs of black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys, Rodentia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

Variation in origin of pectoralis minor muscle: a case report [PDF]

Pectoralis minor is a slender, triangular muscle deep within the pectoralis major. It originates from the exterior surfaces of the third through fifth ribs, in the vicinity of their cartilages and fascia covering the adjacent external intercostal muscles.

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...
