Background: This study sought to investigate whether different physical function tests (objective measures of physical performance) may identify a low physical resilience in breast cancer survivors (BCS). Methods: This analytical cross-sectional stud...

Skeletal muscle physiology is regulated by microRNA that are localized within skeletal muscle (myomiRs). This study investigated how the expression of myomiRs and genes regulating skeletal muscle mass and myogenesis are influenced in response to acut...

The diagnosis of primary mitochondrial myopathy is often delayed by years due to non-specific clinical symptoms as well as variable testing of mitochondrial disorders. The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the collective findings and nov...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a complex systemic disease that primarily involves motor neuron dysfunction and skeletal muscle atrophy. One commonly used mouse model to study ALS was generated by transgenic expression of a mutant form of huma...

It is well known that muscular dystrophy disease severity is controlled by genetic modifiers. The expectation is that by identifying these modifiers, we can illuminate additional therapeutic targets with which to combat the disease. To this end we ha...

We have previously shown that hypothermia leads to an increase in the synaptic modulating effects of ATP but not of adenosine in several different animal skeletal muscles. In this paper, we studied the effect of ATP on the amplitude–time parame...

Purpose: To analyze the muscle activation of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), gluteus maximus (GM), and biceps femoris (BF) in concentric and eccentric actions in the squat at 90° and 140° range of motion. Methods: Thirty-five...

(1) Introduction: Soccer players face high demand for training and games. To facilitate their performance, many studies have investigated ergogenic supplements that can assist in the recovery and performance of players. The aim of this research was t...
