Increased DNA fragmentation and ultrastructural changes in fibromyalgic muscle fibres.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether there is evidence of increased DNA fragmentation and ultrastructural changes in muscle tissue of patients with fibromyalgia (FM) compared with healthy controls. METHODS Muscle tissues from 10 community residents with FM and 10 age and sex matched healthy controls were examined "blindly" for the presence of DNA fragmentation by two different methods: terminal deo...
متن کاملIncreased DNA fragmentation and altered apoptotic protein levels in skeletal muscle of spontaneously hypertensive rats.
Apoptosis is a highly conserved process that plays an important role in controlling tissue development, homeostasis, and architecture. Dysregulation of apoptosis is a hallmark of numerous human pathologies including hypertension. In the present work we studied the effect of hypertension on apoptosis and the expression of several apoptotic signaling and/or regulatory proteins in four functionall...
متن کاملBARD1 content correlates with increased DNA fragmentation associated with muscle wasting in tumour-bearing rats.
Apoptotic events have been clearly associated with muscle wasting in different types of experimental cancer cachexia. In these conditions, cell death is triggered by cytokines or tumour-produced factors. BARD1 is a nuclear protein that is also involved in apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. The results presented here demonstrate that BARD1 content in skeletal muscle correlates with increased D...
متن کاملExercise Myopathy: Changes in Myofibrils of Fast-twitch Muscle Fibres
The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationships between the changes of myofibrils in fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic (type IIA) fibres and fast-twitch glycolytic (type IIB) muscle fibres, protein synthesis and degradation rate in exercise-induced myopathic skeletal muscle. Exhaustive exercise was used to induce myopathy in Wistar rats. Intensity of glycogenolysis in muscle ...
متن کاملUltrastructural changes in gap junctions associated with CO2 uncoupling in frog atrial fibres.
The correlation between gap junction morphology and the state of electrical coupling was investigated in the frog auricle, which presents an atypical gap-junction organization. Electrical uncoupling of the tissue was achieved by perfusion with CO2-saturated Ringer medium. The tissue was fixed with glutaraldehyde and freeze-fractured before and during the application of CO2-saturated Ringer medi...
