  2. 1. Extra- and intrafusal muscle fibre type compositions of the human masseter at young age. : In perspective of growth and functional maturation of the jaw-face motor system

    Author : Catharina Österlund; Per-Olof Eriksson; Lars-Eric Thornell; Per Stål; Malin Ernberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; jaw; limb; human; muscle; morphology; fibre type; myosin heavy chain; muscle spindle; Morphology; Morfologi; anatomi; Human Anatomy;

    Abstract : Muscles control body posture and movement by extrafusal and intrafusal (muscle spindle) fibres. The purpose of this thesis was to provide insight into the muscular basis for human jaw function at young age. READ MORE

  4. 2. Myofibrillens finstruktur i tvärstrimmig skelettmuskulatur

    Author : Anne-Christine Edman; Michael Sjöström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Muscle; muscle fibre; fibre type; myofilament; A-band; M-band; cryo-ultramicrotomy; electron microscopy; image analysis;

    Abstract : The detailed structure of the myofibrillar material in fibres from different muscles has been studied. Specimens have been obtained from human muscles and from different muscles frequently examined in experimental studies. Both light- and electron microscopical techniques have been used. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heat shock proteins in exercised human skeletal muscle

    Author : Mattias Folkesson; Fawzi Kadi; Britta Wåhlin-Larsson; Robert Kruse; Barbara Wessner; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Endurance training; Resistance training; Muscle Fibre Type; Electrical Pulse Stimulation; Muscle Hypertrophy;

    Abstract : Exercise is considered as an important stressor accompanied by concerted molecular and cellular changes leading to adaptations at the level of skeletal muscle size and function. An important protein family produced by cells in response to stressful conditions is the heat shock proteins (HSPs). READ MORE

  6. 4. Gene expression in human skeletal muscle : effects of activity, fibre type and inheritance for diabetes

    Author : Maria Ahlsén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; first-degree relatives; type 2 diabetes; spinal cord injury; exercise; AMPK; PPAR; PGC-1;

    Abstract : One fundamental underlying risk factor for the development of non-insulin dependent (type 2) diabetes mellitus is insulin resistance, which 80-90% of all type 2 diabetic patients suffer from. Risk factors for insulin resistance are for example obesity, surgery, severe illness, spinal cord injury, and pregnancy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Changes in mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation and inorganic phosphate induced by skeletal muscle contraction

    Author : Charlott Wretman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Skeletal muscle; MAP kinase; signal transduction; contraction; acute exercise; exercise intensity; fibre-type; concentric; ROS; eccentric.;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscles adjust to the level of contractile activity by different biochemical alterations. Contraction is a multifactorial stimulus with short-term metabolic effects and long-term responses due to changes in protein synthesis. READ MORE
