Effects on contralateral muscles after unilateral electrical muscle stimulation and exercise. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 It is well established that unilateral exercise can produce contralateral effects. However, it is unclear whether unilateral exercise that leads to muscle injury and inflammation also affects the homologous contralateral muscles.

Muscle-Specific Sensitivity to Voluntary Physical Activity and Detraining
Frontiers in Physiology, 2019 Aerobic physical activity triggers adaptations in skeletal muscle including a fast-to-slow shift in myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms, an enhanced capillary network, and mitochondrial biogenesis to meet increased demands placed upon this tissue. Although

Dynamic muscle quality of the plantar flexors is impaired in claudicant patients with peripheral arterial disease and associated with poorer walking endurance [PDF]
, 2015 Objective Peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication (PAD-IC) negatively affects physical activity and function. There is evidence for plantarflexor muscle dysfunction and weakness; however, the extent to which this dysfunction can be ...

Effect of high intensity interval training and detraining on gene expression of AKT/FoxO3a in cardiac and soleus muscle of male rats [PDF]
فصلنامه ابن سینا, 2020 Background: The Akt / FoxO3a pathways is an important player in skeletal and cardiac muscle atrophy. In this study, the expression of Akt / FoxO3a / MAFbx / MuRF1 genes in soleus and heart muscle following exercise and detraining was investigated ...

Altered Oxygen Utilisation in Rat Left Ventricle and Soleus after 14 Days, but Not 2 Days, of Environmental Hypoxia. [PDF]
, 2015 The effects of environmental hypoxia on cardiac and skeletal muscle metabolism are dependent on the duration and severity of hypoxic exposure, though factors which dictate the nature of the metabolic response to hypoxia are poorly understood.

Physiological Reports, 2020 We previously reported that in rat skeletal muscle, disuse (i.e., decreased muscle contractile activity) rapidly increases thioredoxin‐interacting protein (TXNIP), which is implicated in the reduced glucose uptake.

Autophagy signaling in hypertrophied muscles of diabetic and control rats
FEBS Open Bio, 2023 Autophagy plays a vital role in cell homeostasis by eliminating nonfunctional components and promoting cell survival. Here, we examined the levels of autophagy signaling proteins after 7 days of overload hypertrophy in the extensor digitorum longus (EDL)

The effects of hibernation on the contractile and biochemical properties of skeletal muscles in the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus [PDF]
, 2013 Hibernation is a crucial strategy of winter survival used by many mammals. During hibernation, thirteen-lined ground squirrels, Ictidomys tridecemlineatus, cycle through a series of torpor bouts, each lasting more than a week, during which the animals ...
