Parvalbumin, labile heat and slowing of relaxation in mouse soleus and extensor digitorum longus muscles

Author(s) : Berquin, Anne , Lebacq, Jean
Description : 1. Parvalbumin content, heat rate and rate of relaxation were measured in two mouse muscles: the slow-twitch soleus and the fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL). 2. No trace of parvalbumin was found in the soleus; EDL contained a mean of 4.86 mg of this protein per gram of fresh muscle (S.D. ...

Functional role of store-operated and stretch-activated channels in murine adult skeletal muscle fibres.

Description : In skeletal muscle, Ca(2+) is implicated in contraction, and in regulation of gene expression. An alteration of [Ca(2+)](i) homeostasis is responsible, at least partially, for the muscle degeneration that occurs after eccentric contractions in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease characterized by ...

Hodgkin's disease and hypothermia: case report and review of the literature

Description : We report the development of hypothermia following induction chemotherapy in a patient with stage IV Hodgkin's disease, fever, and hypotension. A link between hypothermia, hypotension, and sensory neuropathy is possible. Acute autonomic neuropathy is the suggested cause.

Fo-perturbation and Fo/loudness dynamics in voices of normal children, with and without education in singing

Description : Sustained phonations were compared in two groups of children (aged 7-12), one with special artistic voice education and one from a normal school, without voice complaints or problems. The hypothesis of specific (better) biomechanical vocal fold properties in the first group is confronted with the hy...

Effect of Creatine and Guanidino-Propionic Acid on Myotube Growth

Description : Since the paper of Roger Harris and his collaborators (Clin. Sci. 83: 367-374,1992), creatine has been largely used as an ergogenic supplement, in the hope of improving muscle performance. Recently, positive effects have been observed in patients suffering from neuro-muscular disorders like myopathi...

Adaptation of mouse skeletal muscle to a novel functional overload test: changes in myosin heavy chains and SERCA and physiological consequences.

Description : We have used a new approach to study the effects of overload on skeletal muscle phenotype in mice. The method used avoids any traumatising contact with muscles and the inflammatory reaction that this may provoke. Blocks of lead embedded in silicone were inserted under the skin of the lower part of t...

Regulation of IGF-I, IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5 gene expression by loading in mouse skeletal muscle.

Description : Gene expression of IGF-I, IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5 was studied in hindhimb skeletal muscle of mice, which were either overloaded or unloaded for 8 days. Overloading induced a 15% hypertrophy in soleus muscle associated with a 60% increase of IGF-I transcript levels and a doubling of IGFBP-4 mRNA levels. ...

Effects of guandinoethane sulfonate on contraction of skeletal muscle.

Description : Guanidinoethane sulfonic acid (GES), a chemical and biological analog of taurine, decreases rat muscle taurine content when added to drinking water. Over the same period, GES appears in muscle. GES supplementation is often used to study the effect of taurine depletion on physiological mechanisms, wi...
