Mouse skeletal muscle fiber-type-specific macroautophagy and muscle wasting are regulated by a Fyn/STAT3/Vps34 signaling pathway [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Skeletal muscle atrophy induced by aging (sarcopenia), inactivity, and prolonged fasting states (starvation) is predominantly restricted to glycolytic type II muscle fibers and typical spares oxidative type I fibers.

Measuring neuromuscular junction functionality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Neuromuscular junction (NMJ) functionality plays a pivotal role when studying diseases in which the communication between motor neuron and muscle is impaired, such as aging and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Effects of fasting on the expression pattern of FGFs in different skeletal muscle fibre types and sexes in mice

open access: yesBiology of Sex Differences, 2020
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) belong to a large family comprising 22 FGF polypeptides that are widely expressed in tissues. Most of the FGFs can be secreted and involved in the regulation of skeletal muscle function and structure. However, the role of

Prediction Model of Soleus Muscle Depth Based on Anthropometric Features: Potential Applications for Dry Needling

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2020
This study was conducted to investigate if anthropometric features can predict the depth of the soleus muscle, as assessed with ultrasound imaging, in a sample of healthy individuals to assist clinicians in the application of dry needling.

Downhill exercise alters immunoproteasome content in mouse skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Content of the immunoproteasome, the inducible form of the standard proteasome, increases in atrophic muscle suggesting it may be associated with skeletal muscle remodeling.

Changes in intracellular ion activities induced by adrenaline in human and rat skeletal muscle [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
To study the stimulating effect of adrenaline (ADR) on active Na+/K+ transport we used double-barrelled ion-sensitive micro-electrodes to measure the activities of extracellular K+ (aKe) and intracellular Na+ (aNai) in isolated preparations of rat soleus

Pre- and Post-alpha Motoneuronal Control of the Soleus H-reflex during Sinusoidal Hip Movements in Human Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of this study was to establish the contribution of hip-mediated sensory feedback to spinal interneuronal circuits during dynamic conditions in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).

Abnormalities in the Fiber Composition and Capillary Architecture in the Soleus Muscle of Type 2 Diabetic Goto-Kakizaki Rats

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is linked to impaired skeletal muscle glucose uptake and storage. This study aimed to investigate the fiber type distributions and the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the capillary network in the skeletal muscles of type 2

Age-related deficits in skeletal muscle recovery following disuse are associated with neuromuscular junction instability and ER stress, not impaired protein synthesis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Age-related loss of muscle mass and strength can be accelerated by impaired recovery of muscle mass following a transient atrophic stimulus. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanisms underlying the attenuated recovery of muscle mass and ...

The Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Increases of Levator Ani Contraction Strength in Women with Uterine Prolapse

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2020
Objective: To investigate the differences of levator muscle contraction strength after vitamin D3 supplementation, thus it is expected that the administration of vitamin D3 can reduce the incidence of uterine prolapse recurrence after reconstructive ...
