Sentence examples for muscle fiber function from inspiring English sources

DMD, an X-linked myopathy caused by mutations in the DMD gene, results in the inability to produce functional dystrophin, an essential protein for muscle fiber function.

A disruption of the DAPC impairs muscle fiber function; therefore, several myopathies are due to genetic defects found in the DAPC proteins [3] [11].

The positive effect of passive loading on muscle fiber function strongly supports the importance of early physical therapy and mobilization in deeply sedated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients.

Furthermore, passive mechanical loading applied for 2.5 hours four times per day for 9 ± 1 days in immobilized, sedated and mechanically ventilated ICU patients improved the muscle fiber function by 35% without affecting muscle mass.

34, 35, 36, 37 We hypothesize that these changes in single muscle fiber function due to MHC isoform composition contribute to the negative alterations detected in skeletal muscle quality and function with chronic heart failure.

Of no less importance is the extent of change in tendon elasticity which determines length for the muscle fiber functioning (Reeves et al. 2004; Narici and Maganaris 2006) Maganaris et al. 2006) and, eventually, force-generating capacity of muscle.

Emerging evidence from experiments in vitro and in vivo suggests that muscle fibers could function as antigen-specific cells [ 52- 54].

This implies that intracellular metabolite diffusion does not dramatically limit aerobic metabolic flux in most fibers, but it likely plays a role in limiting the evolution of muscle fiber design and function.

Conclusions: Gonadectomy results in a loss of P0 regardless of muscle fiber type or function, it is likely to speed up TPT and RT1/2, and it does not exacerbate HLU-related atrophy and P0 loss.

Plectin, a versatile 500-kDa cytolinker protein, is essential for muscle fiber integrity and function.

The main aim of this study was to measure the effects of aging and 5 days of MV on rat diaphragm muscle fiber structure and function.
