Results are expressed as percentage of SOL muscle values (means ± SD). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 versus SOL muscle. Representative immunoblots of each marker are shown above bar chart. Figure 6. Expressions of slow-type (MyHC I) and fast-type fibers (MyHC II) ...
A Skeletal-Muscle Pump refers to the mechanism during dynamic exercise where rhythmic contractions of muscles help enhance venous return by squeezing blood back towards the heart, leading to a reduction in total peripheral resistance and contributing to the regulation of blood pressure. ...
Skeletal muscle has the capacity to adapt to environmental changes and regenerate upon injury. To study these processes, most experimental methods use quantification of parameters obtained from images of immunostained skeletal muscle. Muscle cross-sectio

Sharp electrodes (filled with 3 M KCl, 50–150 MΩ) were impaled into the soleus muscle using a piezomanipulator (PM10, Maerzhaeuser Wetzlar) and membrane potential was recorded with a bridge amplifier (BA-03X, npi electronic), the Powerlab 8/30 recording system and the Chart 7.1 ...
INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track interven
SKM are composed of two types of fibers: oxidative slow-twitch fibers and glycolytic fast-twitch fibers, although muscle fibers are flexible and can transform from one state into another in response to energetic demands [5]. Notably, the SKM of T2D and obese patients have been shown to ...
A Pie chart describing the number (and percentage) of sites that exhibit increased or decreased DNA methylation in skeletal muscle from MZ twins with T2D compared with co-twins without T2D (sites with P < 0.05 and methylation differences in the same direction for more than 82% (≥ 14...
Skeletal muscle tissue oxygenation at rest (StO2) and StO2 deoxygenation rate during vascular occlusion can be measured using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). We aimed to investigate the effects of remote upper arm IPC on StO2 and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) in healthy male volunteers. In...
Provided is a skeletal muscle regeneration promoter for a muscular disorder or myopathy comprising a chondroitinase as an active component, which skeletal muscle regeneration promot
