Aerobic (AE) and resistance exercise (RE) elicit unique adaptations in skeletal muscle that
have distinct implications for health and performance. The purpose of this study was to …

Skeletal muscle makes up approximately 40% of the total body mass, providing structural
support and enabling the body to maintain posture, to control motor movements and to store …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common side effect of most human diseases. Muscle loss is not
only detrimental for the quality of life but it also dramatically impairs physiological processes …

Spaceflight causes a decrease in skeletal muscle mass and strength. We set two murine
experimental groups in orbit for 35 days aboard the International Space Station, under …

Essential amino acids (EAA) stimulate muscle protein synthesis in humans. However, little is
known about whether microRNAs (miRNA) and genes associated with muscle growth are …

Myostatin is a member of the bone morphogenetic protein/transforming growth factor-β
(BMP/TGFβ) super-family of secreted differentiation factors. Myostatin is a negative regulator …

Exposure to microgravity causes significant mechanical unloading of mammalian tissues,
resulting in rapid alterations of their physiology, which poses a significant risk for long …

Expression of the antigrowth factor myostatin (MSTN) differs between fast and slow skeletal
muscles and is increased in nearly every form of muscle atrophy, but the contribution of …

Context: Circulating miRNAs are potential biomarkers that can be important molecules
driving cell-to-cell communication. Objective: To investigate circulating muscle-specific …

Hindlimb unloading and reloading are characterized by a major loss of muscle force and are
associated with classic leukocyte infiltration during recovery from muscle atrophy …
