Slow twitch paraspinal muscle dysregulation in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis exhibiting HIF‐2α misexpression [PDF]

open access: yesJOR 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]

open access: yesBrazilian 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 ...

The specific mitochondrial unfolded protein response in fast- and slow-twitch muscles of high-fat diet-induced insulin-resistant rats

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionSkeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Skeletal muscle is a heterogeneous tissue composed of different muscle fiber types that contribute distinctly to IR development ...

Fast and slow twitch units in a human muscle [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 1971
A study has been made of the isometric twitches of single motor units in the extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) muscle in man. The twitch contraction times ranged from 35 to 98 msec and the pooled results indicated the presence of at least two types of unit.

KMT5B is required for early motor development

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Disruptive variants in lysine methyl transferase 5B (KMT5B/SUV4-20H1) have been identified as likely-pathogenic among humans with neurodevelopmental phenotypes including motor deficits (i.e., hypotonia and motor delay). However, the role that this enzyme

Effect of Dietary Restriction on Muscle Performance in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Dietary restriction (DR) can extend the lifespan in various organisms and is thought to present potential benefits in human. However, it is still a controversial issue now among scientists due to lack of strong supportive evidence in human.
