This report provides a review of early and late effects of radiation in normal tissues and
organs with respect to radiation protection. It was instigated following a recommendation in …

It has been established that the impairment of mitochondrial function is associated with
various disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. In addition …

The physiological flux of oxygen is extreme in exercising skeletal muscle. Hypoxia is thus a
critical parameter in muscle function, influencing production of ATP, utilization of energy …

Nuclear DNA fragmentation and ultrastructural changes, indicative of myonuclear apoptosis,
were examined in adult skeletal muscle in response to short-term immobilization. Adult …

Key points The in situ phenotypic switch of macrophages is delayed in acute injury following
irradiation. The combination of bone marrow transplantation and local muscle radiation …

Background. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of two clinically relevant
radiation doses on the susceptibility of mouse skeletal muscle to remodeling. Materials and …

DNA integrity is incessantly confronted to agents inducing DNA lesions. All organisms are
equipped with a network of DNA damage response mechanisms that will repair DNA lesions …

Background. Adult skeletal muscle is considered resistant to ionizing radiation unless higher
doses of radiation are applied; a fact that is attributed to the low number of radiosensitive …

Background. Long term effects of different doses of ionizing radiation on human skeletal
muscle myoblast proliferation, cytokine signalling and stress response capacity were studied …

Recent data suggest that death of muscle cells during development and in selected
pathological conditions occurs via apoptosis. We investigated the occurrence of apoptosis in …
