Muscular Echovariation as a New Biomarker for the Classification of Soleus Muscle Pathology: A Cross-Sectional Study [PDF]
Diagnostics, 2021 Background: Soleus injury is one of the most common soft tissue tears during sport activities. Current classifications of muscle tears are based on symptoms and tear size and they do not contribute suitable evidence-based treatment protocols.

Anatomy of Arterial Supply of the Soleus Muscle [PDF]
Acta Medica Iranica, 2011 Soft tissue defects of the lower limb are a challenge to the plastic surgeon but a soleus muscle flap often provides the solution. Various types of soleus muscle flap have been described, based mainly on the vascular supply. This study has been conducted

Atrophy of the soleus muscle by hindlimb unweighting [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1990 The unweighting model is a unique whole animal model that will permit the future delineation of the mechanism(s) by which gravity maintains contractile mass in postural (slow-twitch) skeletal muscle. Since the origination of the model of rodent hindlimb unweighting almost one decade ago, about half of the 59 refereed articles in which this model was ...

Metformin Pre-Treatment as a Means of Mitigating Disuse-Induced Rat Soleus Muscle Wasting [PDF]
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2023 Currently, no ideal treatment exists to combat skeletal muscle disuse-induced atrophy and loss of strength. Because the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in rat soleus muscle is suppressed at the early stages of disuse, we hypothesized that

Prochlorperazine Withdraws the Delayed Onset Tonic Activity of Unloaded Rat Soleus Muscle: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Life, 2021 A gradual increase in rat soleus muscle electromyographic (EMG) activity is known to occur after 3–4 days of hindlimb suspension/unloading (HS). The physiological significance and mechanisms of such activity of motoneurons under unloading conditions are ...

EMG-normalised kinase activation during exercise is higher in human gastrocnemius compared to soleus muscle. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 In mice, certain proteins show a highly confined expression in specific muscle groups. Also, resting and exercise/contraction-induced phosphorylation responses are higher in rat skeletal muscle with low mitochondrial content compared to muscles with high

Gene expression profiling in slow-Type calf soleus muscle of 30 days space-flown mice [PDF]
, 2017 Microgravity exposure as well as chronic disuse are two main causes of skeletal muscle atrophy in animals and humans. The antigravity calf soleus is a reference postural muscle to investigate the mechanism of disuse-induced maladaptation and plasticity ...

Effects of pleiotrophin overexpression on mouse skeletal muscles in normal loading and in actual and simulated microgravity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a widespread cytokine involved in bone formation, neurite outgrowth, and angiogenesis. In skeletal muscle, PTN is upregulated during myogenesis, post-synaptic induction, and regeneration after crushing, but little is known regarding

Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to long-term microgravity in the MDS mission. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The effect of microgravity on skeletal muscles has so far been examined in rat and mice only after short-term (5-20 day) spaceflights. The mice drawer system (MDS) program, sponsored by Italian Space Agency, for the first time aimed to investigate the ...
