Previous studies have identified over 3,000 genes that are differentially expressed in male
and female skeletal muscle. Here, we review the sex-based differences in skeletal muscle …

Variations of fresh meat quality exist because the quality traits are affected by various
intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Because the meat quality is basically dependent on muscle …

Skeletal muscle is an extremely heterogeneous tissue composed of a variety of fast and
slow fiber types and subtypes. Moreover, muscle fibers are versatile entities capable of …

abstract Mammalian skeletal muscle is an extremely heterogeneous tissue, composed of a
large variety of fiber types. These fibers, however, are not fixed units but represent highly …

Skeletal muscle is a complex, versatile tissue composed of a large variety of functionally
diverse fiber types. The overall properties of a muscle largely result from a combination of …

The objectives of this review were to examine the present knowledge on:(1) the muscle fiber
characteristics of skeletal muscle,(2) the diversity of the myofibrillar protein isoforms and …

Each of the myogenic helix-loop-helix transcription factors (MyoD, Myogenin, Myf-5, and
MRF4) is capable of activating muscle-specific gene expression, yet distinct functions have …

Chronic low-frequency stimulation is by now a well-established method for inducing specific
changes in muscle properties. Over the past decade several reviews have been published …

In mammals different isoforms of myosin heavy chain are encoded by the members of a
multigene family. The expression of each gene of this family is regulated in a tissue-and …

Founded on an analysis of scientific literature and backed by an abundance of references,
this timely new book examines problems related to sports training, as well as the concept …
