Abstract This study investigated how birth weight differences in piglets affected carcass and muscle fiber properties as well as meat quality at slaughter. Within litters, piglets were grouped according to their birth we...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated isometric muscle strength (elbow and knee flexors and extensors), screen time, and their associations with individual and contextual factors in pediatric oncology patients. A portable dynamo...

Muscle potassium content and supplementation with potassium gluconate were evaluated in normokalemic cats with chronic renal failure (CRF). Affected cats received standard medical therapy for renal failure and either pla...

Se ha investigado el metabolismo muscular y el patrón de depleción glucogénica en 12 toros bravos tras la lidia para establecer su adaptación al ejercicio y el orden de intervención de las fibras musculares. Se obtu...

BACKGROUND: In a previous paper, we introduced MUSCLE, a new program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences, giving a brief summary of the algorithm and showing MUSCLE to achieve the highest scores reporte...

We describe MUSCLE, a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences. Elements of the algorithm include fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile ...

Materias / palabras clave: muscle microanatomy, muscle biochemistry, muscle cell biology, muscle epidemiology, muscle immunology, muscle pathology; Science: Physiology; Medicine: Internal medicine: Specialties of internal medicine: Diseases of the...

Abstract This study aimed to compare acute muscle damage responses of the elbow flexors following eccentric quasi-isometric (EQI) and eccentric (ECC) exercise. Thirty healthy young men were randomly assigned to EQI or EC...

Abstract This study assessed previous research aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of freeze-thawing on meat quality. Specifically, it focuses on assessing the physicochemical alterations in meat resulting from freez...

ABSTRACT Objective While paraspinal muscle degeneration is closely linked to lumbar disc herniation (LDH), the relationship between radicular compression and paraspinal muscle degeneration remains controversial, and evid...

ABSTRACT Understanding how skeletal muscle influences bone formation is essential for uncovering the mechanisms of muscle‐bone communication and developing therapies for osteoporosis. Here, we demonstrate that extracel...

Abstract Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) accumulation in lumbar‑spine muscles is associated with sarcopenia, low‑back pain and poorer surgical outcomes. Dixon MRI allows the measurement of IMF with voxel-wise fat ...

Bangle belongs to the ginger family and has anti-inflammatory properties; however, its efficacy against skeletal muscle atrophy in ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unexplored. This study investigated the effects of Bangle...

Abstract A decrease in resting muscle O2 uptake (V̇O2m) described during bed rest (BR) could determine a decreased whole‐body resting energy expenditure (REE), potentially useful during prolonged spaceflights. Two gro...

Abstract Variations in physical toughness between muscles and animals are a function of growth rate and extend of collagen type I and III. The current study was designed to investigate the ability of growth rate, collage...

Abstract In order to attain heavier live weight without impairing pork or sensory quality characteristics, carcass performance, muscle fiber, pork quality, and sensory quality characteristics were compared among the heav...

Abstract This study aims to compare the chemical composition, quality, and muscle fiber characteristics of cull sows and commercial pigs, investigating the effect of changes in muscle fiber characteristics on pork qualit...

Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the proteolysis trends and change in meat quality during 10 days of cold storage in duck M. pectoralis major (PM) and M. iliotibialis (IL). Duck IL had a higher pH and greate...

Abstract This study aimed to compare the similarities, physicochemical properties, and muscle fiber characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles. Fourteen types of muscles were collected from nine pig carcasses at 24 h po...

Abstract This study assessed and compared meat quality and fiber characteristics of longissimus lumborum (LL), psoas major (PM), and semimembranosus muscles among Hanwoo (HW), Jeju black (BL), and their crossbred (BH) ca...

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 ...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the correlations of marbling characteristics, including marbling score, intramuscular fat (IMF) content, and fleck traits, with meat quality traits and histochemica...

O experimento foi realizado no Setor de Ovinocultura do Departamento de Zootecnia da Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, com o objetivo de estudar o crescimento relativo de osso, músculo e gordura do pescoço, paleta, ...

Abstract Background Denervation triggers dramatic atrophy of skeletal muscle, accompanied by synaptic, contractile and metabolic changes. Several factors were shown to contribute to genetic reprogramming and proteostasis...
