  2. 21. Muscle diseases with damaged sarcomeres - causes and consequences

    Author : Monica Ohlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : congenital myopathy; nemaline myopathy; cap disease; hereditary myopathy with early respiratory failure; myofibrillar myopathy; ACTA1; TPM2; TPM3; TTN;

    Abstract : Muscle diseases, also called myopathies, are usually defined as diseases where the pathology is confined to the muscle itself. This excludes diseases caused by structural abnormalities in the peripheral nerve, from the anterior horn cell to the neuromuscular junction. READ MORE

  4. 22. Transcriptional regulation of ribosome biogenesis in skeletal muscle growth

    Author : Chang Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Resistance exercise induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy via repeated exercise bouts. The increased muscle protein synthesis together with altered muscle protein degradation contribute to the adaptation of muscle mass. The number of ribosomes dictates the protein synthetic capacity of muscle. READ MORE

  5. 23. Pathways controlling metabolic and hypertrophic responses in skeletal muscle

    Author : Isabelle Riedl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle displays an extensive capacity to adapt to a wide range of metabolic and mechanical stressors. As an insulin-sensitive and exercise-responding tissue, it plays a key role in the context of therapeutic interventions targeting metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity.

  6. 24. Charcot-Marie-tooth disease : muscle morphological and neurophysiological aspects

    Author : UllaBritt Ericson-Gripenstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a common inherited disorder of the peripheral nervous system characterised by distal weakness and muscular atrophy, sensory disturbance of the distal limbs, diminished or absent deep tendon reflexes and often pes cavus. CMT is divided into two major groups based on clinical and electrophysiological findings. READ MORE

  7. 25. β-Adrenergic Signalling Through mTOR

    Author : Jessica M. Olsen; Tore Bengtsson; Martin Klingenspor; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glucose uptake; Brown adipose tissue; White adipose tissue; Skeletal muscle; Mechanistic target of rapamycin; Glucose transporter; Physiology; fysiologi; Physiology;

    Abstract : Adrenergic signalling is part of the sympathetic nervous system and is activated upon stimulation by the catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine. This regulates heart rate, energy mobilization, digestion and helps to divert blood flow to important organs. READ MORE
