Prediction and Evaluation of Breast Myopathy
… evaluation, prediction, and frequency of these muscle abnormalities on modern birds are important for decision making. Modern broilers are not highly active and often sit with the breast of the bird resting on the floor. Therefore, the first experiment was to promote bird movement and explore …

Genetic and molecular analysis of mutations in the unc-52 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans, and isolation of a suppressor, sup-38
… not paralyzed, inspite of having disorganized muscle. Class 1 and class 3mutations complement one another, although both of them fail to complement the class 2 alleles. Class 4 alleles of unc-52were isolated as intragenic suppressors of class 1 mutations and confer a novel phenotype upon …

The acute effects of two different training models on markers of inflammatory activation and skeletal muscle injury in patients with chronic heart failure
… systems and the catabolism of skeletal muscle. Although exercise training is important in the management of HF, acute bouts of exercise may lead to increases in proinflammatory cytokines. It is believed that the skeletal muscle abnormalities associated with HF may increase the risk of …

Microrna-mediated regulation and the fragile X family of proteins
… is fatal after birth, likely due to cardiac and muscle abnormalities. Small, genomically encoded miRNAs are involved in almost every biological process, specifically in the regulation of mRNA translation. Although their biogenesis is relatively well defined, it is still unclear how they are …

The prevalence and prognostic value of abnormal body composition phenotypes in Irish oncology patients
… to increased understanding of the importance of muscle abnormalities, such as low muscle mass (sarcopenia), and more recently low muscle attenuation (MA), as important prognostic indicators of unfavourable outcomes in patients with cancer. The aim of this thesis was to identify the prevalence of …

The role of the muscle metaboreflex in patients with chronic disease
Exercising muscle needs a constant supply of oxygen for the aerobic metabolism of carbohydrate and fat, and regulation of the blood supply to muscle during exercise is therefore critical. Heart rate, stroke volume and minute ventilation all increase during exercise, and sympathetic vasoconstriction …

Manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging in cardiometabolic disorders
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Cardiometabolic disorders include cardiovascular diseases and metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus and represent a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Identification of specific biological pathways driving progression of these disorders may unveil …
