Endocannabinoids regulate skeletal muscle
As a principal tissue responsible for insulin-mediated glucose uptake, skeletal muscle is important for whole-body health. The role of peripheral endocannabinoids as regulators of skeletal muscle metabolism has recently gained a lot of interest, as endocannabinoid system disorders could cause peripheral insulin resistance. We investigated the role of the peripheral endocannabinoid system in ske...
متن کاملLoading and Skeletal Development and Maintenance
Mechanical loading is a major regulator of bone mass and geometry. The osteocytes network is considered the main sensor of loads, through the shear stress generated by strain induced fluid flow in the lacuno-canalicular system. Intracellular transduction implies several kinases and phosphorylation of the estrogen receptor. Several extra-cellular mediators, among which NO and prostaglandins are ...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle development and regeneration.
In the late stages of muscle development, a unique cell population emerges that is a key player in postnatal muscle growth and muscle regeneration. The location of these cells next to the muscle fibers triggers their designation as satellite cells. During the healing of injured muscle tissue, satellite cells are capable of forming completely new muscle fibers or restoring damaged muscle fibers....
متن کاملSkeletal Muscle Perfusion in Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is characterized by lower limb arterial obstruction due to atherosclerosis. There are over 8 million people with PAD in the U.S at present (1). As a consequence of impaired tissue perfusion, PAD patients can experience pain, diminished exercise capacity, and tissue loss, with some ultimately requiring amputation (2). The presence of PAD is a high risk marker of...
متن کاملPeripheral Couplings in Adult Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle
A n a t o m i c a l O b s e r v a t i o n s a n d F u n c t i o n a l I m p l i c a t i o n s The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of striated muscle (1) is differentiated into certain discrete mor-phologic specializations, the couplings, which are presumed to be prominently involved in the process of excitation-contraction coupling (2, 3). The coupling is composed of sarcolemma and junc-tional sarc...
