Skeletal muscle is joined to bones ... a fancy way of saying two muscles that pull in opposite directions. For example, in your arm, your biceps and triceps are antagonistic pairs when you ...

A recent article highlights the critical importance of skeletal muscle mass in the context of medically induced weight loss, particularly with the widespread use of GLP-1 receptor agonists.

TWITCH responses of frog skeletal muscle can be potentiated, without any increase in peak tetanus responses, by many agents, for example, lyotropic anions 1–3. The magnitude of twitch ...

Data extraction g:Profiler found four muscle gene networks with imprinted loci. Meta-analysis identified 16 articles (387 genes/1580 individuals) associated with exercise. Age, method, sample size, ...

As we age, our muscles atrophy. Earlier this year, researchers found that hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), a protein critical in skeletal muscle development loses its functionality due to nitration as ...

Skeletal muscle work is not determined by absolute metabolic changes in the active muscles ... We suggest that these variable changes in heart rate are an example of a non-linear dynamic process. In ...

Utilizing rat muscle culture, researchers developed an antibody that prevents the age-induced dysfunction of hepatocyte ...

For example, sarcopenia is the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. The causes of sarcopenia are multifactorial. It impacts more than 20 percent of older people, and there are ...
