Glucose dynamics in rat skeletal muscle : recovery from osmotic stress
… to examine cell glucose kinetics in rat skeletal muscle during iso-osmotic recovery from hyper- and hypo-osmotic stress. Rat EDL muscles were incubated for sixty minutes in either HYPO (190 mmol/kg), ISO (290 mmol/kg), or HYPER (400 mmol/kg) media (Sigma medium-199, 8 mM glucose) according to an …

The Effects of Whole Body Vibration on Muscle Recovery and Performance
Facilitating muscle recovery in trained individuals is essential, as it allows for a quicker return to activity without reduction in performance. Many proposed modalities have been studied but have not shown consistent effectiveness. A relatively new modality, whole-body vibration (WBV) has been …

Optimization of a pericyte therapy to improve muscle recovery following hindlimb immobilization
… immobilization can significantly reduce skeletal muscle mass and function. Recovery may be severely delayed or incomplete due to the inability to effectively engage in physical therapy. Thus, alternative strategies are needed to enhance recovery and prevent long-term disability, particularly in …

Relationship Between Endogenous Creatine Levels and Maximal Upper Body Strength, Short Term Muscle Recovery and Body Fat In Males
… and strength, absolute strength, short term muscle recovery and body fat. We also examined the effects of creatine supplementation with a sufficient washout period on plasma creatinine levels. Participants consisted of 24 healthy men who met with the experimenter twice over a 4 day period. …

The Effect of Ischemia and High-Fat Diet on Pericyte Fate
… of high fat (HF) diet and ischemia on skeletal muscle pericytes. Pericytes are mural cells on the abluminal surface of capillaries that contribute to capillary stabilization and the regulation of angiogenesis, but their roles in the events that occur during muscle recovery from ischemia in …

The effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on recovery : a 10-week trial comparing duration of DOMS before and after the use of PBM with the use of BIODEX
… phototherapy (PBM) on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in female collegiate athletes over a 10-week period. DOMS is a common side effect of intense exercise. Therefore, it can have a significant impact on athletic performance and training schedules. Although various rehabilitation …

The effects of tributyrin and butyrate on equine skeletal muscle
… for supplements that can improve performance and muscle recovery. Tributyrin and butyrate affect satellite cells and oxidative metabolism in other species. To assess the effects of tributyrin on equine muscle repair, Thoroughbred horses were supplemented tributyrin, and a submaximal exercise test …

The anabolic and anti-catabolic effects of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on functional muscular outcomes.
… application to physical performance and recovery. While multiple lines of evidence have provided valuable insight into the plausible mechanisms, the influence of LC n-3 PUFAs on functional skeletal muscle outcomes remain elusive. As such, this dissertation will investigate the potential …

Development of a stem cell-based therapy for the recovery of skeletal muscle mass following immobilization
Skeletal muscle disuse atrophy is a debilitating medical condition that occurs as result of limb immobilization and whole body bed rest. Severe reductions to muscle mass contribute to functional declines, disability, and metabolic comorbidities, such as obesity, Type II diabetes, and cardiovascular …

Resistance training and recovery: influence of dietary supplements, combined trreatment therapies, and gender
… prescription is the establishment of adequate recovery between successive training sessions. The purpose of the proposed studies was to evaluate the effectiveness of common dietary supplements and, in a separate analysis, the use of an anti-inflammatory and nutritional intervention on recovery …

The effects of furosemide on equine skeletal muscle satellite cell myogenesis and metabolism in vitro
… is unknown what effects furosemide may have on muscle recovery. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effects various doses of furosemide may have on equine satellite cell (eqSC) myogenesis and metabolism. Mitotic index was increased (P<0.05) as a result of treatment with …

Development of a pericyte-derived extracellular vesicle therapy for the recovery of skeletal muscle mass following immobilization
… declines in protein synthesis and skeletal muscle mass, a condition known as disuse atrophy. Physical therapy is standard practice following disuse atrophy and may be sufficient for complete recovery of muscle mass and function in young individuals. However, the majority of older adults are …

The Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of Prostaglandin E₂ in Myogenesis
… (COX-2) pathway at an early stage of muscle recovery from damage attenuated skeletal muscle regeneration. However, the exact mechanisms by which PGE₂ regulates skeletal muscle development and regeneration are elusive. In this project, the central hypothesis is that PGE₂ signaling …

Loading and recovery behavior of the human lumbar spine under static flexion
… and decreased safety of the spine. However, the recovery process of this reflexive muscle activity to its original state is a complicated phenomenon and the research efforts in this area are limited to a few animal based experiments. Although the recovery process is modeled and known for animals, …

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness in People with Diabetes; Biomarkers and Nutritional Supplementation
… which could result in a prolonged sensation of muscle soreness following exercise. This would make it difficult for these people to sustain exercise regimes. Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is a common problem in healthy individuals and in people who have diabetes. DOMS is a painful …

Localized Muscle Fatigue: Theoretical and Practical Aspects in Occupational Environments
Localized muscle fatigue (LMF) is a complex, multifactorial phenomenon that involves exercise-induced decrements in the ability to generate force or power. LMF can adversely affect performance and may increase the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), and is thus of contemporary …
