Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) affects the excitable and contractile properties of innervated skeletal muscles
(Society of Biology of Chile, 2003)
The well-established trophic role of CNTF upon neurons led to performing clinical trials in patients of
neurodegenerative diseases. However, trials were suspended due to side effects such as severe weight loss, hyperalgesia, ...
Effect of natural mediotrusive contact on electromyographic activity of jaw and cervical muscles during chewing
(Taylor & Francis, 2015)
Objective. This study evaluated the effect of a natural mediotrusive contact on the
electromyographic (EMG) activity of the anterior temporalis and sternocleidomastoid muscles during
chewing in healthy subjects. Materials ...
Cholic acid and deoxycholic acid induce skeletal muscle atrophy through a mechanism dependent on TGR5 receptor
(Wiley, 2020)
Skeletal muscle atrophy is characterized by the degradation of myofibrillar proteins, such as myosin heavy chain or troponin. An increase in the expression of two muscle-specific E3 ligases, atrogin-1 and MuRF-1, and ...
Ion pathways in transverse tubules. Quantification of receptors in membranes isolated from frog and rabbit skeletal muscle
(Elsevier, 1986)
The presence of four cation pathways in membrane vesicles isolated from transverse tubules of frog and
rabbit skeletal muscle was studied by measuring binding of specific blockers. Transverse tubules purified
from frog ...
Electromyographic Comparison of Lips and Jaw Muscles between Children With Competent and Incompetent Lips: A Cross Sectional Study
(Journal Pedodontics, 2020)
Objective: This cross-sectional study evaluates the electromyographic (EMG) activity of lips and anterior temporalis muscles of children with competent or incompetent lips. Study design: Forty children were classified ...
Beta-Actin shows limited mobility and is required only for supraphysiological insulin-stimulated glucose transport in young adult soleus muscle
(American Physiological Society, 2018)
Studies in skeletal muscle cell cultures suggest that the cortical actin cytoskeleton is a major requirement for insulin-stimulated glucose transport, implicating the beta-actin isoform, which in many cell types is the ...
Disease duration and disability in dysfeRlinopathy can be described by muscle imaging using heatmaps and random forests
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2019)
© 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Introduction: The manner in which imaging patterns change over the disease course and with increasing disability in dysferlinopathy is not fully understood. Methods: Fibroadipose infiltration ...
Mitochondria in the Aging Muscles of Flies and Mice: New Perspectives for Old Characters
(Hindawi, 2016)
Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass accompanied by a decrease in muscle strength and resistance and is the main cause of disability among the elderly. Muscle loss begins long before there is any clear physical impact in ...
The Predictability from Skull Morphology of Temporalis and Masseter Muscle Cross-Sectional Areas in Humans
(Wiley, 2015)
To carry out functional simulations of the masticatory system that aim to predict strain magnitudes it is important to apply appropriate jaw-elevator muscle forces. Force magnitude estimation from directly measured muscle ...
A biceps muscle Latissimus dorsi in a dog
(Universidad de la Frontera, 2014)
This article reports the finding of a twin unreported muscle begin. In one dog, both, left and right muscle latissimus
dorsi were biceps. The thin second head of m. latissimus dorsi that we founded, could be an intermediate ...
