Eccentric contractions, characterized by the lengthening of the muscle-tendon complex,
present several unique features compared with other types of contractions, which may lead …

The appearance of creatine kinase (CK) in blood has been generally considered to be an
indirect marker of muscle damage, particularly for diagnosis of medical conditions such as …

Resistance exercise can result in localized damage to muscle tissue. This damage may be
observed in sarcolemma, basal lamina, as well as, in the contractile elements and the …

Prolonged unaccustomed exercise involving muscle lengthening (eccentric) actions can
result in ultrastructural muscle disruption, impaired excitation–contraction coupling …

Some 12 years ago, a polymorphism of the angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) gene
became the first genetic element shown to impact substantially on human physical …

Exertional (exercise-induced) rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life threatening condition that
has been the subject of research, intense discussion, and media attention. The causes of …

Extreme or unaccustomed eccentric exercise can cause exercise-induced muscle damage,
characterized by structural changes involving sarcomere, cytoskeletal, and membrane …

Rhabdomyolysis (RM) is a clinical emergency characterized by fulminant skeletal muscle
damage and release of intracellular muscle components into the blood stream leading to …

Exertional rhabdomyolysis is characterised by muscle breakdown associated with strenuous
exercise or normal exercise under extreme circumstances. Key features are severe muscle …

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and its homologue, ACE2, have been mostly
associated with hypertensive disorder. However, recent pandemia of SARS-CoV-2 has put …
