Slow twitch paraspinal muscle dysregulation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis exhibiting HIF‐2α misexpression [PDF]
JOR Spine, 2022 Background Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) refers to a three‐dimensional spinal deformity which has a typical onset during adolescence. In most cases, the cause of the deformity cannot be clearly identified. Unbalanced paraspinal muscle activity in

Cyclosporin A preferentially attenuates skeletal slow-twitch muscle regeneration [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Calcineurin, a Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, is associated with muscle regeneration via NFATc1/GATA2-dependent pathways. However, it is not clear whether calcineurin preferentially affects the regeneration of slow- or fast-twitch muscles. We investigated the effect of a calcineurin inhibitor, cyclosporin A (CsA), on the morphology and fiber ...

Antioxidants, 2020 The enzymatic complex Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate (NADPH) oxidase (NOx) may be the principal source of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The NOX2 and NOX4 isoforms are tissue-dependent and are differentially expressed in slow-twitch fibers ...

Skeletal Fiber Type in Muscle Pain and Dysfunction [PDF]
BiomedicinesDifferent types of skeletal muscle fibers display marked heterogeneity in metabolic, mechanical, and regenerative properties. However, their role in chronic musculoskeletal pain remains insufficiently integrated into clinical models.

Effects of Captan, a fungicide, on mammalian slow‐twitch muscle
The FASEB Journal, 2013 The population exposure to pesticides is dramatically increasing in the last few decades because of the widespread uncontrolled use of pesticides especially in the developing countries. In our study, we examine the effect of 6 mg/kg of Captan, a fungicide, mixed with diet, on body weight, muscle mass, proteins content and contractile response of slow ...

Expression profiles and transcript properties of fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles in a deep-sea highly migratory fish, Pseudocaranx dentex [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Fast-twitch and slow-twitch muscles are the two principal skeletal muscle types in teleost with obvious differences in metabolic and contractile phenotypes. The molecular mechanisms that control and maintain the different muscle types remain unclear yet.
