Fiber Type-specific Desmin Content in Human Single Muscle Fibers
… have been shown to differ on the basis of fiber type in whole muscle homogenates. The purpose of this study was to compare the content of the intermediate filament protein, desmin, between type I and type IIa single muscle fibers from a mixed muscle in human subjects. Biopsies were taken …

Effects of fiber type on the tribological behavior of polyamide composites
… is presented. Glass, aramid, and carbon fiber-filled polyamide (Nylon 6,6) composites serve as models for understanding friction and wear processes encountered when polymer composites are used in tribological applications. Experimental results not only include measurements of friction and …

Examining the Influence of Muscle Fiber Type on Protein Turnover Signaling in Growing Pigs
… accretion and high protein turnover rate. While fiber type composition of the muscle could affect protein turnover rate, less is known about how fiber type influences the regulation of protein synthesis and degradation signaling pathways. Thus, the hypothesis of this work was that variation in …

Association of Masseter Muscle PITX2, ENPP1 and ESR1 Expression, Muscle Fiber Type, Temporomandibular Joint Disorders and Subclassifications of Craniofacial Asymmetry
… asymmetry, temporomandibular disorders and fiber type differences compared between right and left masseter muscles. We developed an asymmetry classification that diagnosed four types of asymmetry with distinctive growth patterns: Group 1 – menton deviation without ramal difference …

Effects of Lubabegron supplementation on carcass traits, muscle fiber type, proteome profile and meat quality attributes of finished feedlot steers
… for the purpose of objective color, muscle fiber typing, proteome analysis, and the evaluation of the effect of postmortem aging on tenderness and palatability. As dose increased (P < 0.05) to 3.2 and 5.0 g/ton steaks became less (P < 0.05) red (a*), less (P < 0.05) yellow (b*), and less (P …

The Influence of Age and Sampling Depth on Muscle Fiber Type Percentages and Enzyme Activities of Equine Middle Gluteal Muscle
The effects of age and sampling depth on histochemical and biochemical properties of equine gluteus medius were examined.

The fiber type specific response of single muscle fiber contractile performance to endurance and resistance exercise training in healthy, sedentary adults
… resistance exercise training on single muscle fiber (SMF) physiology has not been well studied in healthy, sedentary individuals. The current study documented the fiber type specific response of SMF physiology to endurance and resistance exercise training. A total of 37 participants were …

THE RELATIONSHIP OF BODY COMPOSITION, MUSCLE FUNCTION, AND MUSCLE FIBER TYPE TO LOWER BODY PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE IN OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE OLDER ADULTS
… of body composition, muscle function and fiber type and lower body physical performance, in overweight and obese older adults.

EXPRESSION OF HISTONE DEACETYLASE 4 AND HISTONE ACETYLTRANSFERASE 4 IN HUMAN MASSETER MUSCLE: RELATIONS TO FIBER-TYPE COMPOSITION IN PATIENTS WITH MALOCCLUSIONS
… of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) genes and fiber-type percent occupancy (%Occ) in masseter muscle of patients undergoing orthognathic surgery to correct severe dentofacial malocclusions. The diagnostic categories of malocclusion in sagittal and vertical dimensions were: 1) Deep bite-Class II …

Towards understanding EC coupling protein expression with age
… be attributed to muscle atrophy. Changes in fiber type composition of muscle have also been observed in humans with age. Additionally, it is suggested that excitation contraction coupling (EC coupling) is impaired in aging by uncoupling of the two calcium channels facilitating EC coupling, …

Defining the Role of Pannexin1 in Skeletal Muscle and Satellite Cell Function in vivo and ex vivo Using a Novel Conditional Knockout Mouse Model
… as in muscle function. Loss of Panx1 led to a fiber-type switch coinciding with smaller fibers in both the tibialis anterior (TA) and soleus (SOL) muscles, reduced strength, and increased fatigue resistibility in adult male mice. Notably, these mice were observed to have fewer quiescent …

Hydrodynamics and gas holdup in a cocurrent air-water-fiber bubble column
<p>Gas-liquid-fiber flows are widely found in various unit operations in the pulp and paper industry and similar flow conditions may be found in other industrials, such as wastewater treatment, food processing, biological organism production, and pharmaceutical manufacturing;Flocculated fiber …

Investigating a non-invasive method for determining muscle fiber composition
… to explore a new method for analysis of muscle fiber type, using data collected from weightlifts on a leg press. A dynamic muscle model is developed, which utilizes the Descherevskii kinetic theory in combination with a muscle "matrix" model to predict net muscle contraction forces and …

Pectoralis muscle of turkey displays divergent function as correlated with meat quality
… of biological factors which include muscle fiber type composition and heme protein concentrations. These factors either contribute to or are subject to the biochemical events involved in the conversion of muscle to meat. Subtle deviations in the processing environment can also result in …

Investigating the influence of dietary fiber source and multicarbohydrase supplementation on digestibility, energy, systemic health, water balance, and gut motility in gestating sows
… in gestating sows fed soluble and insoluble fiber diets typical to U.S. production. A total of 36 confirmed gestating sows (186 ± 4.6 kg BW) were blocked by parity randomly assigned to 1 of 4 diets (n=9) in a 2×2 factorial arrangement of treatments on d 28 of gestation. Factors included fiber …

Force potentiation in the MDX mouse
… and muscular dystrophy is especially damaging to type IIB muscle fibers. It was hypothesized that post-tetanic potentiation (PTP) would be down-regulated to prevent damage in Xlinked muscular dystrophy (mdx) mice since PTP increases force and PTP effects are greatest in IIB fibers. PTP experiments …

Potential adaptive signaling pathways in the diaphragm of mdx mice treated with micro-dystrophin combined with voluntary running
… Fatigue times for mdxRGT were similar to wild type runners (WTR), while mdxGT and WT (no run) were also similar. The diaphragm is an important muscle for endurance exercise. Remarkably, diaphragm power in mdxRGT was depressed compared to mdxGT, suggesting a negative impact of running on GT. To …

Application of chemometric analysis to UV-visible and diffuse near-infrared reflectance spectra.
… in order to classify the samples according to fiber type. The samples in the study had no pretreatments. The discriminating power of these models was tested by creating validation sets within a given fiber type as well as attempting to classify samples into a category that they do not belong …

Regulation of Substrate Metabolism and Renin-Angiotensin System with Dietary and Pharmacological Interventions: Implications for Obesity and Related Disorders
… effects of a KD on muscles with distinct fiber-type compositions. Therefore, we assessed the effects of the KD on glucose, fat, and ketone metabolism in skeletal muscles. We observed that the KD increased fat oxidation and ketolytic capacity, when compared to the HFS group, in a fiber-type …
