Muscle cell-derived cytokines in muscle regeneration
Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2026-12-01

Muscle-specific considerations for aging human skeletal muscle
… that the age-associated change in skeletal muscle mass is muscle specific, yet the number of specific muscles that have been studied to form our understanding in this area is limited. In addition, few aging investigations have examined multiple muscles in the same individuals. This …

Muscle fatigue and other factors influencing forearm muscle activity
The wrist extensor muscles of the forearm exhibit relatively greater muscle activity than the wrist flexors during most hand/wrist tasks. Since the extensors operate at a greater percentage of maximum to balance wrist joint moments, this could contribute to their higher incidence of overuse injury. …

Differences between adult and pediatric neck muscle stress due muscle recruitment patterns
… assumed that the soft tissue response, such as muscle force, was the same as for an adult.</p> <p>Recent studies have shown that not only are children different from adults due to the development of their skeleton, but that their ability to develop muscle force for a given cross-sectional area …

Lipotoxicity in smooth muscle
… lipotoxicity has not been shown in smooth muscle. The goal of this dissertation was to determine if lipotoxicity does occur in vascular smooth muscle and to determine how to modulate this lipotoxicity. We found that vascular smooth muscle takes up fatty acid and does not store it …

Effects of Reduced Muscle Glycogen on Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR), Muscle and Exercise Performance
… during exercise is associated with reduced muscle glycogen. However, evidence linking glycogen content to fatigue is lacking. In this study we examined whether reduced muscle glycogen content limited SR function or muscle performance. Two groups of female Sprague-Dawley rats were fasted for …

Osteocyte Activity and Skeletal Muscle Relative Gene Expression Profiling After Short-term Muscle Paralysis
… of disuse osteoporosis. Disuse models of muscle inactivity and immobilization, like the Botox model used in this study, result in changes in the bone microarchitecture, the mechanisms behind which are not fully understood. In a previous four-week Botox disuse study, skeletally mature 20- …

The role of muscle and circulatory microRNAs as regulators and biomarkers of muscle function
Skeletal muscle is an abundant tissue type with critical roles in locomotion, force production and whole body energy regulation. Skeletal muscle mass and function are adaptively regulated by multiple stimuli including physical loading (exercise), nutrient intake (protein supplementation) and …

Preconditioned muscle-derived mesenchymal stem cells revitalize growth and function in aged skeletal muscle
… mobility and movement, significant loss of muscle mass is associated the onset of type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and arthritis, as well as increased mortality. The prevalence of disability and co-morbidities in our growing aged population has the potential to add hundreds of …

Effect of rotator cuff muscle fatigue on shoulder muscle activation and posture during driving
Rotator cuff (RC) muscle dysfunction impacts the ability to perform daily functional tasks, such as driving. It has been suggested that RC muscle fatigue can mimic rotator cuff tears (RCT) during sudden steering in terms of kinematics. It has also been found that two RC muscles (infraspinatus and …

Potential Antecedents of Muscle Dysmorphia
… to some of the possible contributing factors of muscle dysmorphia. Muscle dysmorphia is an under recognized form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Individuals who are diagnosed with muscle dysmorphia are in reality very large and muscular, but they have a profound fear and belief that they are small …

Statin-induced muscle mitochondrial toxicity
… but can cause myopathy ranging from mild muscle pain to fatal rhabdomyolysis. The mechanism of statin-induced myopathy (SIM) is not fully understood and there is currently no convenient and reliable marker of SIM, but mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated. We sought to investigate …

Modeling vascular smooth muscle contraction
… to investigate issues regarding vascular smooth muscle contraction. The overall structure of this thesis consists of (1) a model of single vascular smooth muscle cell membrane electrophysiology, contractile system kinetics and cell mechanics; (2) a model of signal transduction of nitric-oxide …
