ABSTRACT Background The muscle tissue of dairy cows is a site of β‐hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) metabolism. The mechanisms underlying the changes in proteins and metabolites in the muscle tissue of cows with ketosis remain ...

Ageing and obesity are major public health issues, both associated with reductions in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance. Muscle quality, which integrates the morphological and functional characteristics of ...

Abstract The present study evaluated the effects of fermented whey protein using kimchi lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus casei DK211 on skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical performance in healthy middle-...

To investigate the impact of acute energetic stress (acute HIIE and fasting) on ERRγ, PPARβ, NR1D1, NR4A1, and TFEB in human skeletal muscle.

IntroductionAdrenal incidentalomas are an increasing clinical concern and, while most are non-functioning adrenal adenomas (NFAA), a relevant subset is associated with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), condition...

ABSTRACT Background Physical exercise is recommended for sarcopenia prevention and treatment. Patients with frailty often show poor tolerance. To achieve universal availability, electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles...

A patient with diabetic nephropathy admitted with complaints of fever and severe back pain. Lumbar computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging disclosed paraspinal muscle abscess. Inoculatioiis of the aspirate...

Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that plays a pivotal role in various physiological processes, including metabolism and muscle function. This enzyme is found in high concentrations in skeletal muscle and the myocardium,...

Abstract Erythropoietin (EPO) administration stimulates haematological and non‐haematological adaptations that alter substrate oxidation and enhance aerobic performance. The effects of strenuous exercise and EPO on met...

Abstract Low testosterone in males (hypogonadism) is associated with limb muscle mass loss, yet the underlying mechanisms of muscle mass loss remain largely unknown. We previously showed androgen deprivation disrupted li...

O músculo estriado esquelético é formado pela associação de fibras musculares com a matriz extracelular. Esse tecido possui alta plasticidade e o conhecimento das características morfológicas, da miogênese, e da ...

To examine the effect of the NAD+ precursor, nicotinic acid (NA), for improving skeletal muscle status in sedentary older people.

Abstract Objective Describe the clinical course and diagnostic and genetic findings in a cat with X‐linked myotubular myopathy. Case Summary A 7‐month‐old male Maine coon was evaluated for progressively worsening g...

Introduction: Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus are serious global health challenges, which are caused by aging population, increasing levels of obesity and insufficient amount of physical activity. Althoug...

Abstract Background X‐linked dystrophin‐deficient muscular dystrophy (MD) is a form of MD caused by variants in the DMD gene. It is a fatal disease characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of skeletal m...

BackgroundSarcopenia is a progressive, age-associated condition marked by loss of muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, representing a key nutritional and functional problem in aging people. This study examine...

Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and skeletal muscle mass (SMM) are both key parameters of intrinsic capacity. To date, the impact of adherence to physical activity guidelines by older adults on these facets is poorly und...

Abstract Background Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) delivered transcutaneously activates skeletal muscle; its effectiveness is determined by stimulation parameters and by how skin-applied currents recruit und...

Several Sarcocystis spp. have carnivores as definitive host and sarcocysts are common in muscles of herbivores (intermediate host). However, sarcocysts have been found in muscles of wild and domestic carnivores suggestin...

Ageing, immobilization, sepsis or cachexia reduce muscle mass and function. The age-related loss, i.e. sarcopenia, contributes to frailty and results in a loss of mobility and autonomy in aging and disease. Affected ind...

Systematic tool use is a central component of the human niche. However, the timing and mode of its evolution remain poorly understood. A newly developed method for the analysis of muscle recruitment patterns (Validated E...

Rhabdomyolysis develops due to skeletal muscle cell damage. One of the most important complications of rhabdomyolysis is acute kidney injury. Herein, we present a case found to have normal renal function at first hospita...

Abstract Background Myosin heavy chain (MyHC)-related congenital myopathies display variable age of onset and clinical manifestations depending on the mutated isoform. Cardiomyopathy, ophthalmoplegia and primarily proxim...
