  2. 21. Effects of endurance exercise on mitochondrial efficiency, uncoupling and lipid oxidation in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Maria Fernström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During the lest years the importance of muscle mitochondria, and mitochondrial function, not only for performance but else for health has been highlighted. The main function of the mitochondria is to produce ATP by oxidative phosphorylation (coupled respiration). READ MORE

  4. 22. Regulation of protein synthesis in human skeletal muscle : separate and combined effects of exercise and amino acids

    Author : William Apró; Eva Blomstrand; Olav Rooyackers; Hans-Christer Holmberg; Michael Kjaer; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue which has the ability to adapt to various forms of external stimuli such as diverse modes of contractile activity. Thus, performance of endurance exercise over several of weeks results in increased oxidative capacity. READ MORE

  5. 23. Estrogen receptors in skeletal muscle : expression and activation

    Author : Anna Wiik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There are two estrogen receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, which are ligand activated transcription factors. Estrogen, which exerts its effect via ERs, is not only a female reproductive hormone, but acts almost ubiquitously in the human body and is involved in physiological and pathological states in both males and females.

  6. 24. Exercise and angiogenic growth factors in human skeletal muscle

    Author : Thomas Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adapatation; angiogenesis; angiogenic growth factors; blood flow; gene expression; gene regulation; human; ischaemia; skeletal muscle; training;

    Abstract : Long-term electrical stimulation and endurance exercise increase the amount of capillaries in skeletal muscle. VEGF-A is a well-characterized stimulatory angiogenic growth factor and has shown to play an important role in angiogenesis in pathological conditions in humans and in physiological conditions in animal models.

  7. 25. Lumbar muscle fatigue : analysis of electromyography, endurance time and subjective factors in patients with lumbar disc herniation and healthy subjects

    Author : Åsa Dedering; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Disability; electromyography; endurance; gender; healthy subjects; lumbar disc herniation; lumbar extensor muscles; muscle fatigue; non-linear regression; recovery; subjective ratings;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate the relation between objectively and subjectively assessed lumbar muscle fatigue and subjective factors in patients with lumbar disc herniation and in healthy subjects. Eighty healthy subjects and 43 patients undergoing surgery for lumbar disc herniation and selected consecutively for the study participated. READ MORE
