Role of different proteolytic pathways in degradation of muscle protein from streptozotocin-diabetic rats
(1996-08-01)
In vitro rates of overall proteolysis and the activities of four different proteolytic pathways (lysosomal, Ca2+ dependent, ATP dependent, and ATP independent), as well as rates of protein synthesis, were measured in soleus ...
Influence of dietary protein level on the broiler chicken's response to methionine and betaine supplements
(2000-10-01)
Two experiments were conducted to compare broiler chicken responses to methionine and betaine supplements when fed diets with low protein and relatively high metabolizable energy levels (17%, 3.3 kcal/g) or moderate protein ...
Spirulina enhanced the skeletal muscle protein in growing rats
(Dr Dietrich Steinkopff Verlag, 2008-10-01)
Background/Aim of the study This study evaluates the effects of the blue green alga spirulina as the sole dietary source of protein on muscle protein in weaning rats. Methods Young (30 days) Wistar rats were fed, during ...
Influence of protein intake and muscle mass on survival in chronic dialysis patients
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-01-01)
Introduction: Some studies suggest that high body mass index (BMI) confers survival advantage in dialysis patients, but BMI does not differentiate muscle from fat mass, and the survival advantage conferred by its increase ...
Maternal protein restriction induce skeletal muscle changes without altering the MRFs MyoD and myogenin expression in offspring
(Springer, 2012-10-01)
Stimuli during pregnancy, such as protein restriction, can affect morphophysiological parameters in the offspring with consequences in adulthood. The phenomenon known as fetal programming can cause short- and long-term ...

Bergantin LB, Figueiredo LB, Godinho RO. the lumbrical muscle: a novel in situ system to evaluate adult skeletal muscle proteolysis and anticatabolic drugs for therapeutic purposes. J Appl Physiol 111: 1710-1718, 2011. ...
Muscle protein metabolism in neonatal alloxan-administered rats: effects of continuous and intermittent swimming training
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2012-02-06)
Background: This study aimed to examine the effects of intermittent and continuous swimming training on muscle protein metabolism in neonatal alloxan-administered rats.Methods: Wistar rats were used and divided into six ...
Leucine-rich diet alters the eukaryotic translation initiation factors expression in skeletal muscle of tumour-bearing rats
(2007-03-06)
Background: Cancer-cachexia induces a variety of metabolic disorders on protein turnorver, decreasing protein synthesis and increasing protein degradation. Controversly, insulin, other hormones, and branched-chain amino ...
