Sedentary lifestyle induces oxidative stress and atrophy in rat skeletal muscle
Abundant evidence indicates that skeletal muscle plays a key role in regulating metabolic homeostasis. Therefore, maintaining healthy skeletal muscles is essential to good health.

Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production and mitochondrial dysfunction can activate protein degradation in disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. However, the increase in NO production in atrophied muscles remains controversial.

Double discharges in human soleus muscle [PDF]
Double discharges (doublets) were recorded from human soleus (SOL), where they have never been reported before. The data analyzed in this study were collected from 12 healthy volunteers. The subjects were recruited for other studies, concerning: (1) estimation of motoneurons' (MNs) afterhyperpolarization (AHP) duration and (2) analysis of motor unit ...

Adjuvant pharmacological strategies for the musculoskeletal system during long‐term space missions
Abstract Despite 2 h of daily exercise training, muscle wasting and bone loss are still present after 6‐month missions to the international space station. Some crew members lose bone much faster than others. In preparation for missions to the Moon and Mars, space agencies are therefore reviewing their countermeasure portfolios.

Angioleiomyoma in the soleus muscle
We present a case of angioleiomyoma, a benign angiomatous soft tissue tumor in a 52-year-old patient. We empha- size that small nodular tumors showing hypervascularity on MRI or ultrasound may be malignant and should be treated with tumor excision.

Anatomic Variations of the Accessory Soleus Muscle [PDF]
Four cases of accessory soleus muscle are presented. By means of soft tissue radiography and computed tomography the course of the accessory muscle as well as its exact site and mode of insertion could be determined. It was found that the accessory muscle in these four cases showed four different varieties of insertion, i.e.

A histochemical study of the red and white muscle fibers Part III. Activity of the diphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase and triphosphopyridine nucleotide diaphorase in muscle fibers [PDF]
From the histochemical study of DPN and TPN diaphorase on the striated muscles of the cats, the following results were obtained. 1. M. gastrocnemius, which belongs to the white muscle by naked eye, consists of three types of muscle fibers distinguished ...

The influence of barefoot and shod running on Triceps-surae muscle strain characteristics [PDF]
The aim of the current investigation was to determine the effects of barefoot and shod running on the kinematics of the Triceps-Surae muscle group. Twelve male participants ran at 4.0 m.s-1 (± 5%) in both barefoot and shod conditions.

Regulation of soleus muscle properties by mechanical stress and/or neural activity
The responses of soleus muscle and/or muscle fibers to gravitation loading and/or unloading and the roles of mechanical stress and/or neural activity in the regulation of morphological properties in the soleus muscle were briefly reviewed.

Three-dimensional architecture of the whole human soleus muscle in vivo [PDF]
Background Most data on the architecture of the human soleus muscle have been obtained from cadaveric dissection or two-dimensional ultrasound imaging. We present the first comprehensive, quantitative study on the three-dimensional anatomy of the human ...
