Nutritional Supplementation and Skeletal Muscle Health in Chronic Diseases
… mainly focuses on obesity and aging. Skeletal muscle performance is impaired in obesity and aging conditions. One common reason causing this could be higher fat mass and lower muscle mass. However, there is no study showing what pathways are involved in the imbalance of body composition. …

The influence of two physical activity programs on bone and muscle health in youth with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.
… rapidly. During this time, physical activity, muscle-bone interactions, and gravity help stimulate bone development. However, in conditions that limit mobility, such as cerebral palsy (CP) and other non-progressive neuromotor impairments (CP-like), physical activity is reduced, which can lead …

The metabolic profile of cardiac and skeletal muscle tissue from captive emus (Dromaius novaehollandiae) raised in northern Colorado: implications for assessing muscle health for emus with splayed-leg disorder
… have been performed on domesticated emu skeletal muscle, and there have been no investigations into the enzymatic profile of domesticated ratite (group of paleognathous flightless birds that includes emus) cardiac tissue. This thesis established the first ratite cardiac metabolic profile by …

Quantitative biomarkers for tissue characterization
… and functional tests specifically for muscle health quantification. Diagnosing and monitoring of health of muscle and liver tissue is the motivating clinical need. These proposed metrics and techniques are noninvasive, quantitative, and do not require calibration. Current standards of …

The Immediate Early Response of Proliferating Myoblasts to One Bout of Electrical Stimulation
The maintenance of muscle mass is important across the lifespan. The activation of satellite cells, followed by their proliferation and subsequent differentiation is important in this maintenance. Cell cycle arrest must precede differentiation, and preservation of the molecular networks involved …

Investigating The Effect Of Chronic Muscle Use And Disuse On Innate Immune Signaling In Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal muscle health is highly dependent on the intricate mitochondrial reticulum that exhibits high levels of adaptability. It is now recognized that mitochondrial perturbations can activate innate immune pathways, such as the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, by augmenting the response against …

Amino Acid Sensing in Muscle: Role of the lysosome and the effect of protein supplementation on improving amino acid sensitivity in aging muscle
… a well-studied stimulus for increasing skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Only recently has the mechanism for this phenomenon been elucidated at the cellular level. To this point, most of the mechanistic research into this process has been conducted in human embryonic kidney cells. Therefore, it …

Design of a single element 3D ultrasound scanner
… monitoring bone density, and characterizing muscle health. The system is designed as a flexible mechanical platform for iterative development of algorithms targeting imaging of soft tissue with bone. The mechanical system independently controls movement of two single element ultrasound …

THE ROLE OF SKELETAL MUSCLE SYNTHESIZED BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR (BDNF) ON THE HEALTH AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MURINE MOTOR UNIT
<p>Skeletal muscle is a cytokine-producing organ capable of expressing various myokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IL-17, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (Pederson, 2011, So et al., 2014, Schnyder and Handschin, 2015). BDNF is a small neurotrophic …

Protein quality and distribution determines anabolic signaling, cellular energetics, and body composition
Building and maintaining muscle is critical to the quality of life for adults and elderly. Physical activity and nutrition are important factors for long-term muscle health. In particular, dietary protein – including protein distribution and quality – are under-appreciated determinants of muscle …

Saúde muscular em pacientes portadores de doença renal crônica não dialítica: marcadores clínicos nutricionais e de qualidade de vida
… out, terms used to designate a reduction in muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance. OBJECTIVES: To identify the association of muscle quality markers with clinical, nutritional and quality of life aspects in patients with non-dialytic chronic kidney disease. METHODS: This is a …

Partial GSK3 knockdown improves muscle performance in mdx mice: investigating the cellular mechanisms
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a severe muscle wasting disease caused by an X-linked mutation to the dystrophin gene that primarily affects boys. The absence of functional dystrophin protein leads to muscle wasting and weakness that progressively worsens over time with affected boys typically …

Sex Differences in Cancer Cachexia and a Novel Mitochondrial Target for Cancer-Induced Muscle Wasting
… by marked weight loss including skeletal muscle atrophy that affects approximately 80% of cancer patients. Current therapeutic treatments including pharmacological and nutritional intervention are insufficient to prevent or reverse it. Prior studies demonstrated lower muscle mass, impaired …

Human obesity and its influence on muscle protein synthesis
Improving skeletal muscle health is an important component of obesity treatment. Apart from locomotion, skeletal muscle tissue is fundamental for the regulation of macronutrient metabolism during the postprandial period, which is precisely where metabolic derangements are most often observed. In …

The Physiological and Genetic Factors Underpinning the Response to Muscle Damaging Exercise
… variability in the response to exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD), even when tested in a homogeneous cohort accounting for age, sex, ethnicity and physical activity. The response to EIMD is very complex as several tissues, including skeletal muscle fibres, the extra-cellular matrix (ECM), and …

Development of a pericyte-based strategy to recover aged skeletal muscle after disuse
Skeletal muscle disuse atrophy is the decline of muscle mass that occurs after periods of extended bed rest or immobilization. Recovery via physical rehabilitation is often incomplete in special populations such as older adults, due to injury and pain, functional limitations, and anabolic …

Regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise
Whole body and skeletal muscle mass is regulated by counterbalanced fluctuations between protein synthesis and breakdown rates. Protein ingestion has been shown to stimulate protein synthesis rates and thus is an important variable within the net protein balance equation dictating a positive …

Impact of an Acute Bout of Low- and High-Frequency Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Voluntary Muscle Fatigue and Antioxidant Response
… is an intervention used for promoting skeletal muscle contraction, strength, and hypertrophy, particularly in populations with limited voluntary exercise capacity. Stimulation frequency is a key NMES parameter that may influence force production, fatigue development, and biological markers …
