The presence of accessory soleous muscle in humans

Einstein (São Paulo), 2012
OBJECTIVE: To verify the prevalence of the accessory soleus muscle in humans and according to gender. METHODS: A total of 154 magnetic resonance images of the ankle were assessed in T1 weighted sagittal, coronal and axial planes. RESULTS: An incidence of

Intramuscular neural distribution of the soleus for botulinum neurotoxin injection: application to spasticity

Scientific Reports
Understanding the nerve distribution within the soleus muscle concerning anatomical landmarks is crucial for botulinum neurotoxin injections in managing spasticity.

Hypertrophy Stimulation at the Onset of Type I Diabetes Maintains the Soleus but Not the EDL Muscle Mass in Wistar Rats

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Diabetes mellitus induces a reduction in skeletal muscle mass and strength. Strength training is prescribed as part of treatment since it improves glycemic control and promotes increase of skeletal muscle mass. The mechanisms involved in overload-induced

Early postnatal caloric restriction protects adult male intrauterine growth-restricted offspring from obesity. [PDF]

, 2012
Postnatal ad libitum caloric intake superimposed on intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is associated with adult-onset obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Three‐year outcomes of repeated botulinum neurotoxin A injections to the lower extremities in young children with spastic cerebral palsy in GMFCS levels I to III

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In this study, we followed a group of children 2 to 6 years old with spastic cerebral palsy functioning in GMFCS levels I–III, over 3 years. Sixty‐five received BoNT‐A and 59 did not. Repeated BoNT‐A injections over 3 years were not associated with improvements in gross motor function or passive ankle dorsiflexion. Daily step counts, favouring the BoNT‐

Phosphorylation of Hsp25 at serine 15 is promoted in immature fibers following in situ muscle contraction

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2015
Heat shock protein 25 (Hsp25) phosphorylation plays a protective role following mechanical stress in skeletal muscle fibers. We previously reported that phosphorylation at serine 15 of Hsp25 (p-Ser15) was enhanced during regrowth of muscle fibers in rats

Microscopic and molecular aspects of skeletal muscle alterations in cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Cerebral palsy, caused by non‐progressive brain injury, is frequently accompanied by skeletal muscle alterations. This review synthesizes current evidence from muscle biopsy studies, revealing cellular and molecular adaptations in muscle tissue. Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP), the most prevalent childhood‐onset motor disability, frequently entails ...

Brief ambulatory reloading elevates muscle protein synthesis but does not prevent disuse atrophy in hindlimb-unloaded rats

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Disuse muscle atrophy remains a major challenge in contexts such as prolonged bed rest or microgravity. Here, we investigated whether brief bouts of ambulatory reloading could attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy caused by five days of hindlimb unloading ...

Acute and chronic changes in rat soleus muscle after high‐fat high‐sucrose diet

Physiological Reports, 2017
The effects of obesity on different musculoskeletal tissues are not well understood. The glycolytic quadriceps muscles are compromised with obesity, but due to its high oxidative capacity, the soleus muscle may be protected against obesity‐induced muscle

Skeletal Muscle PGC-1β Signaling is Sufficient to Drive an Endurance Exercise Phenotype and to Counteract Components of Detraining in Mice [PDF]

, 2017
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator (PGC)-1α and -1β serve as master transcriptional regulators of muscle mitochondrial functional capacity and are capable of enhancing muscle endurance when overexpressed in mice.
