Effects of exercise training on circulating and skeletal muscle renin-angiotensin system in chronic heart failure rats. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Accumulated evidence shows that the ACE-AngII-AT1 axis of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is markedly activated in chronic heart failure (CHF).

PLoS ONE, 2022 Skeletal muscle atrophy is a physiological response to disuse, aging, and disease. We compared changes in muscle mass and the transcriptome profile after short-term immobilization in a divergent model of high and low responders to endurance training to ...

Skeletal muscle and fiber type-specific intramyocellular lipid accumulation in obese mice
Biomolecules & Biomedicine, 2021 In obesity, accumulation of lipid droplets in skeletal muscle fibers and a shift towards fast muscle fiber types can both contribute to insulin resistance.

Functional overload attenuates plantaris atrophy in tumor-bearing rats
BMC Cancer, 2007 Background Late stage cancer malignancies may result in severe skeletal muscle wasting, fatigue and reduced quality of life. Resistance training may attenuate these derangements in cancer patients, but how this hypertrophic response relates to normal ...

Morphological variability of the plantaris muscle origin in human fetuses
Annals of Anatomy - Anatomischer Anzeiger, 2022 The plantaris muscle (PM) is a small, fusiform muscle located between the gastrocnemius muscle (GM) and soleus muscle (SM). PM supports movements of the knee and ankle. This muscle presents a great variability, and also has a high clinical significance.

Absence of Desmin Results in Impaired Adaptive Response to Mechanical Overloading of Skeletal Muscle
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Background: Desmin is a muscle-specific protein belonging to the intermediate filament family. Desmin mutations are linked to skeletal muscle defects, including inherited myopathies with severe clinical manifestations.

Calcineurin activation influences muscle phenotype in a muscle-specific fashion
BMC Cell Biology, 2004 Background The calcium activated protein phosphatase 2B, also known as calcineurin, has been implicated as a cell signaling molecule involved with transduction of physiological signals (free cytosolic Ca2+) into molecular signals that influence the ...

Baseline muscle mass is a poor predictor of functional overload-induced gain in the mouse model
Frontiers in Physiology, 2016 Genetic background contributes substantially to individual variability in muscle mass. Muscle hypertrophy in response to resistance training can also vary extensively. However, it is less clear if muscle mass at baseline is predictive of the hypertrophic

Impact of plantaris ligamentous tendon
Scientific Reports, 2021 There are countless morphological variations among the muscles, tendons, ligaments, arteries, veins and nerves of the human body, many of which remain undescribed.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Although several reports have hypothesized that exercise may increase skeletal muscle protein lactylation, empirical evidence in humans is lacking. Thus, we adopted a multi-faceted approach to examine if acute and subchronic resistance training (RT ...
