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

Lipo Definition in Thighs: Volumizing and Defining the Vastus Muscles by Fat Transfer
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021 Background:. Volumizing muscles in the thighs by fat grafting to complement body contouring surgeries has not been adequately investigated. Our objective was to describe a technique (VDVFAT) that defines and volumizes thigh muscles by lipotransfer in the

The Effect of Stump Level on Activity and Fatigability of Knee Extensor Muscles
Journal of Modern Rehabilitation, 2018 Introduction: Muscle fatigue is tiredness, in other words, loss of productive capacity of power in response to the activity. The development of fatigue during prolonged exercise may be evaluated by repeated assessments of maximal voluntary force.

Muscle Oxygen Demands of the Vastus Lateralis in Back and Front Squats
International Journal of Exercise Science, 2020 In resistance training squats are often used to strengthen the muscles of the lower extremities and core muscles. There are two common forms of squats that use a barbell for loading, the back squat and the front squat. The technique and loading of each squat differ markedly.

Reduced mitochondrial density in the vastus lateralis muscle of patients with COPD [PDF]
European Respiratory Journal, 2007 Skeletal muscle dysfunction is a well-recognised hallmark of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leading to exercise intolerance. The vastus lateralis of COPD patients is characterised by reduced mitochondrial enzyme activity; however, this is not the case in the tibialis anterior.

COPD elicits remodeling of the diaphragm and vastus lateralis muscles in humans
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2013 A profound remodeling of the diaphragm and vastus lateralis (VL) occurs in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In this mini-review, we discuss the following costal diaphragm remodeling features noted in patients with moderate-to-severe COPD: 1) deletion of serial sarcomeres, 2) increased proportion of slow ...

Primary subcutaneous cyst hydatic disease in proximal thigh: an unusual localisation: a case report
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2003 Background Musculoskeletal hydatidosis is very rare and represents 1% – 5.4% of all cases of echinococcosis. On clinical basis, infection mimics a soft-tissue tumor, and the preoperative radiological diagnosis is very important to avoid biopsy.
