Purpose Recent evidence has demonstrated an obesity-induced, skeletal muscle-specific
reduction in contractile performance. The extent and magnitude of these changes in relation …

Obesity affects the major metabolic and cellular processes involved in skeletal muscle
contractility. Surprisingly, the effect of obesity on isolated skeletal muscle performance …

The incidence of obesity and obesity‐related conditions, such as metabolic syndrome and
insulin resistance, is on the increase. The effect of obesity on skeletal muscle function …

The phenotype of sarcopenic obesity is frequently associated with impaired muscle strength
and performance. Ectopic lipid deposition may interfere with muscle anabolic response …

Diet-induced obesity (DIO) is associated with glucose intolerance, insulin resistance (IR),
and an increase in intramyocellular lipids (IMCL), which may lead to disturbances in glucose …

The present study examined whether high-fat diet (HFD) consumption for 20 weeks had a
temperature-specific effect on the contractile performance and regional thermal sensitivity of …

Ageing and obesity independently have been shown to significantly impair isolated muscle
contractile properties, though their synergistic effects are poorly understood. We uniquely …

Obesity and ensuing disorders are increasingly prevalent in young populations. Prolonged
exposure to high-fat diets (HFD) and excessive lipid accumulation were recently suggested …

Despite the considerable efforts that have been made to characterize in vivo human skeletal
muscle function in the last 20 years, there is still controversy about whether obesity affects …

Background The effects of diet-induced obesity on skeletal muscle function are largely
unknown, particularly as it relates to changes in oxidative metabolism and morphology …
