Freeze‐fracture electron microscopy enabled us to observe the molecular architecture of the
biological membranes. We were studying the myofiber plasma membranes of health and …

Aquaporins (AQPs) are water channels in the cell membrane that regulate osmosis in
response to rapid changes in intracellular and extracellular fluid concentration caused by …

The aim of this study is to examine 1) muscle fiber type composition, 2) myofiber diameter,
and 3) aquaporin (AQP) 7 and AQP 9 mRNA expressions by quantitative PCR in muscles of …

We examined whether AQP7 molecules are expressed in the normal skeletal muscle at
mRNA and protein levels. Gel electrophoresis of the reverse transcription-polymerase chain …

Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is a water channel expressed at the sarcolemma of fast-twitch skeletal
muscle fibers, whose expression is altered in several forms of muscular dystrophies …

The syntrophins and α-dystrobrevin form a subcomplex with dystrophin at the skeletal
muscle membrane, and are also highly concentrated at the neuromuscular synapse. Here …

Transmembrane water transport is mediated by aquaporins (AQPs), of which AQP1 and
AQP4 are expressed in skeletal muscle. AQP4 expression is reduced in Duchenne muscular …

The question whether aquaporin 3 (AQP3) is expressed in normal human skeletal muscle at
mRNA and protein levels has been examined, since AQP3 has been reported to be …
