Shear wave ultrasound elastography of the biceps brachii can be used as a precise proxy for passive elbow torque in individuals with hemiparetic stroke

Physiological Reports, 2023
Muscle tissue is prone to changes in composition and architecture following stroke. Changes in muscle tissue of the extremities are thought to increase resistance to muscle elongation or joint torque under passive conditions.

Cage restriction‐induced physical inactivity promotes subsequent hepatic apoptosis during tail suspension in young male rats

Physiological Reports, 2023
This study investigated the impact of long‐term physical inactivity on hepatic cytoprotective‐ and inflammatory‐related protein expressions in young rats and the subsequent apoptotic response during microgravity stress simulated by tail suspension.

Exploring unconventional targets in myofibroblast transdifferentiation outside classical TGF-β signaling in renal fibrosis

Frontiers in Physiology
We propose that the key initiators of renal fibrosis are myofibroblasts which originate from four predominant sources—fibroblasts, pericytes, endothelial cells and macrophages.

Acute effects of a single neurodynamic mobilization session on range of motion and H‐reflex in asymptomatic young subjects: A controlled study

Physiological Reports, 2023
Neurodynamic techniques have yielded good clinical results in the treatment of various pathologies. The objective of this study is to examine the short‐term effects of neurodynamic techniques of the sciatic nerve on hip ROM (range of motion) and on the ...

Disturbed flow regulates protein disulfide isomerase A1 expression via microRNA-204

Frontiers in Physiology
Redox processes can modulate vascular pathophysiology. The endoplasmic reticulum redox chaperone protein disulfide isomerase A1 (PDIA1) is overexpressed during vascular proliferative diseases, regulating thrombus formation, endoplasmic reticulum stress ...

Effects of beetroot juice supplementation on vascular functional and structural changes in aged mice

Physiological Reports, 2023
This study investigated whether beetroot juice (BRJ) ingestion ameliorates aging‐induced functional and structural changes in vasculature. Aged mice (98–100 weeks old) were supplemented with BRJ (nitrate: 3.5 mmol/L) or drinking water for 4 weeks and ...

Differences in knee flexor and extensor force and kinematic variables in rural versus urban area female students in Romania

Frontiers in Physiology
The study aimed to identify and explain the typical differences in low-intensity high-volume resistance training (LIHV-RT) performances for major muscle groups between rural versus urban young female students to establish the relevant set of quantitative
