Muscles can only contract and relax, so they always work in pairs called antagonistic muscles. Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend.

Objective: To systematically compare the skeletal muscle structural and ultrastructural status of endurance athletes with acquired training intolerance (ATI group) with asymptomatic endurance athletes ...

New research has revealed that proteins in skeletal muscle "remember" resistance training for at least two months, even ...

Skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration requires the adult skeletal ... How the numbers of satellite cells are actively maintained by is an as yet unasnwered question. Our group is working to ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

Entheseal changes (skeletal markers of muscle and ligament attachment) were analyzed to evaluate physical activity levels. When people use certain muscle groups repeatedly or carry heavy loads ...

Objective We aimed to elucidate: (1) the effect of exercise on DNA methylation and (2) the role of imprinted genes in skeletal muscle gene networks (ie, gene group functional profiling analyses).
