Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Electromyographic Analysis of Lower Limb Muscles During Multi-Joint Eccentric Isokinetic Exercise Using the Eccentron Dynamometer

Applied Sciences
Eccentric muscle actions are integral to human movement, rehabilitation, and performance training due to their characteristic high force output (overload) and low energy cost and perceived exertion.

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Study on the Mechanism of Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound in Ameliorating Glucose Metabolism Through Attenuation of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy in Mice with Type 1 Diabetes

Biology
Diabetic skeletal muscle atrophy is one of the most serious complications among diabetes-related complications. LIPUS enhances muscle regeneration and repair in skeletal muscle injuries.

Pasture feeding improves the fatty acid composition of lamb muscle

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
The diet of lambs influences the nutritional quality of their meat. This study showed that pasture‐fed lamb contained significantly higher concentrations of beneficial omega‐3 fatty acids than lamb finished on concentrate diets. These long‐chain omega‐3 fatty acids are associated with improved cardiovascular health and other health benefits.

Muscle quality responses to short-term resistance training volume in older adults: an exploratory clinical trial

Frontiers in Aging
Age-related strength loss is more strongly tied to reduced muscle quality than muscle mass. Echo intensity (EI) measured by B-mode ultrasonography is a common marker of intramuscular adiposity and fibrous tissue.

Plasma and Synovial Fluid VEGF‐A and Neuropilin‐1 in Knee Osteoarthritis: Associations With Radiographic Severity, Pain Sensitization‐Related Features, and Disease Burden

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate associations of plasma and synovial fluid vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF‐A) and neuropilin‐1 (NRP1) levels with radiographic severity, pain sensitization‐related features, and disease burden in knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Plasma VEGF‐A and NRP1 were measured by sandwich ELISA in 120 patients with KOA (
