Plasticity of the muscle-tendon complex with disuse and aging.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Muscles and tendons are highly adaptive tissues in response to chronic changes in loading and to aging. A remarkable reorganization in muscle architecture occurs in both conditions together with significant alterations in tendon mechanical properties. This review discusses the possible mechanisms underlying these myotendinous changes and the influence thereof on the behavior of the muscle-tendon complex as a whole.

Adaptive plasticity of autophagic proteins to denervation in aging skeletal muscle.
Aging muscle exhibits a progressive decline in mass and strength, known as sarcopenia, and a decrease in the adaptive response to contractile activity. The molecular mechanisms mediating this reduced plasticity have yet to be elucidated. The purposes of this study were 1) to determine whether denervation-induced muscle disuse would increase the expression of autophagy genes and 2) to examine wh...
متن کاملEffect of daily short-duration weight-bearing on disuse-induced deterioration of musculoskeletal system
OBJECTIVES To investigate deterioration of musculoskeletal system due to prolonged disuse and the potential of daily short-duration weight-bearing as countermeasures. METHODS Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into Control Group (CG, no intervention), Tail-suspension Group (TG, tail-suspension without treatment), and Weight-Bearing Group (WBG, tail-suspension with 20 min/...
متن کاملAsymmetric superoxide release inside and outside the mitochondria in skeletal muscle under conditions of aging and disuse.
Superoxide released from mitochondria forms reactive oxygen species that can cause severe oxidative damage and have been associated with aging- and disuse-induced muscle dysfunction. Superoxide is released to both the exterior and the matrix of mitochondria, where oxidative damage is not necessarily the same. This complicates determining the role of mitochondrial superoxide in eliciting oxidati...
متن کاملUnloaded rat Achilles tendons continue to grow, but lose viscoelasticity.
Tendons can function as springs and thereby preserve energy during cyclic loading. They might also have damping properties, which, hypothetically, could reduce risk of microinjuries due to fatigue at sites of local stress concentration within the tendon. At mechanical testing, damping will appear as hysteresis. How is damping influenced by training or disuse? Does training decrease hysteresis, ...
متن کاملReconstruction of long digital extensor tendon by cranial tibial muscle fascia graft in a dog
Tendon rupture in dogs is generally the result of a direct trauma. This report described the use of adjacent muscle autogenic fascial graft for reconstruction of distal rupture of long digital extensor tendon in a dog. A two-year-old male mix breed dog, was presented with a non-weight bearing lameness of the right hind limb and a deep rupture of lateral side of right tarsus. History taking reve...
