Co-expression of SERCA isoforms, phospholamban and sarcolipin in human skeletal muscle fibers.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Sarcolipin (SLN) and phospholamban (PLN) inhibit the activity of sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPases (SERCAs) by reducing their apparent affinity for Ca(2+).

The effect of bed rest, unilateral limb immobilization and head‐down tilt on muscle protein synthesis: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle disuse leads to muscle atrophy and a decrease in muscle function that is primarily driven by reduced muscle protein synthesis (MPS). The aim of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to examine the effect of different models of muscle disuse on rates of MPS.

Muscle wasting in cancer cachexia: Mechanisms and the role of exercise

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer cachexia (CC) is a multifactorial disease marked by a severe and progressive loss of lean muscle mass and characterized further by inflammation and a negative energy/protein balance, ultimately leading to muscle atrophy and loss of muscle tissue.

Effect of knee brace and lateral wedge on muscular activity amplitude during running in male soccer players with genu varus

open access: yesمجله دانشگاه علوم پزشکی گرگان, 2021
Background and Objective: Genu varus is a deformity in frontal plane that in weight bearing position whiles the medial malleolus’s touch each other, the medial knee epicondyles far from each other. Genu varus is very prevalent in soccer players.

Passive thigh heating improves peak force production in younger adults and early isokinetic force production in younger and older adults

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Determination of qPCR Reference Genes Suitable for Normalizing Gene Expression in a Canine Model of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy [PDF]

open access: yes
Background:Dogs with dystrophin-deficient muscular dystrophy are valuable models of the equivalent human disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD): unlike the mdx mouse, these animals present a disease severity and progression that closely matches that ...

NEX4EX – A novel exercise device enabling resistive, plyometric and sensorimotor training during deep‐space missions: A case report

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract During weightlessness, the human neuro–muscular–skeletal system undergoes maladaptation to the microgravity environment. The European Space Agency (ESA) project NEX4EX, ‘Novel Exercise Hardware for Exploration’, developed an advanced multipurpose exerciser offering resistive (RES), plyometric (PLYO) and sensorimotor (SENSO) exercises.

Reconstruction of Abdominal Wall Defects Using a Pedicled Anterolateral Thigh Flap including the Vastus Lateralis Muscle: A Report of Two Cases

open access: yesCase Reports in Surgery, 2016
The purpose of abdominal wall reconstruction is to prevent hernias and protect the abdominal viscera. In cases involving full-thickness defects of the rectus abdominis muscle, the muscle layer should be repaired.
