Welcome to Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Skeletal Muscle, 2011 Over the past decade or two, cellular signaling and molecular genetics have combined to allow for a tremendous increase in the understanding of fundamental processes that are distinct to skeletal muscle: the genes that initiate its differentiation from progenitor cells and which establish its identity; pathways that are responsible for its hypertrophy ...

Skeletal Muscle Channelopathies [PDF]
Neurologic Clinics, 2020 Skeletal muscle channelopathies are rare genetic neuromuscular conditions that include the nondystrophic myotonias and periodic paralyses. They cause disabling muscle symptoms and can limit educational potential, work opportunities, socialization, and quality of life. Effective therapy is available, making it essential to recognize and treat this group

New insights in the regulation of skeletal muscle PGC-1α by exercise and metabolic diseases [PDF]
, 2013 Skeletal muscle energy metabolism is severely impaired in insulin resistant and type 2 diabetic patients. In particular, deregulated transcription of oxidative metabolism genes has been linked to the development of non-communicable metabolic diseases ...

Mouse skeletal muscle fiber-type-specific macroautophagy and muscle wasting are regulated by a Fyn/STAT3/Vps34 signaling pathway [PDF]
, 2012 Skeletal muscle atrophy induced by aging (sarcopenia), inactivity, and prolonged fasting states (starvation) is predominantly restricted to glycolytic type II muscle fibers and typical spares oxidative type I fibers.

Complex coordination of cell plasticity by a PGC-1α-controlled transcriptional network in skeletal muscle [PDF]
, 2015 Skeletal muscle cells exhibit an enormous plastic capacity in order to adapt to external stimuli. Even though our overall understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie phenotypic changes in skeletal muscle cells remains poor, several factors ...

Skeletal muscle mTORC1 regulates whole-body metabolism [PDF]
, 2015 Skeletal muscle, which represents over 40% of the total body mass, is a dynamic tissue with a key role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. Several lines of evidence indicate that alterations of the normal muscle function, as for example in ...

Regulation of skeletal muscle plasticity by the transcriptional coregulators PGC-1α and NCoR1 [PDF]
, 2013 Skeletal muscle plasticity is regulated by a wide range of factors, among which environmental stimuli such as exercise play a central role. Importantly, changes in skeletal muscle phenotype exert a direct impact on health and risk to premature death.

Fat oxidation, fitness and skeletal muscle expression of oxidative/lipid metabolism genes in South Asians: implications for insulin resistance? [PDF]
, 2010 <p><b>Background:</b> South Asians are more insulin resistant than Europeans, which cannot be fully explained by differences in adiposity. We investigated whether differences in oxidative capacity and capacity for fatty acid utilisation

The transcriptional coactivator PGC-1α is dispensable for chronic overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy and metabolic remodeling [PDF]
, 2013 Skeletal muscle mass loss and dysfunction have been linked to many diseases. Conversely, resistance exercise, mainly by activating mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), promotes skeletal muscle hypertrophy and exerts several therapeutic ...
