Statins are cholesterol-lowering drugs widely used in the prevention of cardiovascular
diseases; however, they are associated with various types of myopathies. Statins inhibit 3 …

Skeletal muscle aging is accompanied by mass reduction and functional decline, as a result
of multiple factors, such as protein expression, morphology of organelles, metabolic …

The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin is critical for gas exchange in the lung and O 2 delivery in
peripheral tissues. In the present study, we generated model mice that carry low affinity …

Fibre type distributions of the slow soleus and fast plantaris muscles were investigated in 5‐,
9‐and 20‐week‐old male Goto‐Kakizaki (GK) rats, as an animal model of non‐obese …

Despite prior efforts to understand and target dynapenia (age‐induced loss of muscle
strength), this condition remains a major challenge that reduces the quality of life in the aged …

Background We investigated the therapeutic effects of resistance training on Zucker rats
before and after the onset of diabetes to understand the importance of the timing of exercise …

Mammalian skeletal muscles are comprised of heterogeneous types of fibers based on their
enzyme histochemical or immunohistochemical properties. Regardless of the muscle type …

Fifteen-week-old rats were subjected to unloading induced by hindlimb suspension for 3
weeks. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) and …
