The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of muscle MRI findings and gait disturbance in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) patients. Thirteen patients with DM1 were evaluated by manual muscle strength test and muscle MRI of the lower limb. All DM1 patients presenting with foot drop showed high intensity signals in the tibialis anterior muscles on T1-weighted imaging (p < 0.001...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the influence of different pure pig breeds and muscle types on the expression of muscle proteins, as well as their interactions, and second, to find biomarkers for breed and muscle types. A total of 126 male pigs, including 43 Landrace, 21 Duroc, 43 Large White, 13 Pietrain, and 6 Belgian Landrace, were slaughtered at the age of 174 +/- 6 d. Samples...

In order to determine optimum oven cooking procedures for lean beef, the effects of searing at 232 or 260°C for 0, 10, 20 or 30 min, and roasting at 160 or 135°C on semimembranosus (SM) and longissimus lumborum (LL) muscles were evaluated. In addition, the optimum determined cooking method (oven-seared for 10 min at 232°C and roasted at 135°C) was applied to SM roasts varying in weight from 0.5...

This study investigated the effects of age animal and days post-mortem (PM) on meat quality Boer goats. Twenty-four (24) wether goats two groups (2YO group: 2 years old 9MO: 6–9 months, with 12 animals/group) were slaughtered in a commercial processing plant. The [email protected] was estimated to be above 6 both higher (P < 0.01) values 2YO PM storage for 14 reduced shear force 0.01). goat mus...

An attempt was made to identify technological solutions that would improve the quality of products from meat Holstein-Friesian (HF) bulls, with particular emphasis on standardising longissimus lumborum (LL) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles. Marinating (Mar) grilling (Grill) were used in combination sous vide (SV) method. The effects type muscle (LL or SM) applied treatments (SV, SVMar, SVGrill)...

One hundred seventy-seven pigs were used to determine the interaction effects of fasting and length of transport prior to harvest on pork muscle quality. The study design was a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial, which involved two genetic sources, fasting (F) or no fasting (N) of pigs 48-h prior to harvest, and three transport times (0.5, 2.5, or 8.0 h) on a semitrailer to the packing plant. Genetic source w...

The long-distance migratory flights of birds are predominantly fueled by the oxidation of fatty acids, which are sourced primarily from extracellular adipose stores. These fatty acids have to be transported, via the circulatory system, to the mitochondria of the active muscles. An important facilitator of fatty acid transport within the cytoplasm of muscle cells is fatty acid binding protein (F...

The aim of the present study was to identify and assess determinants content Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe, Cd, Pb in longissimus lumborum (LL) semimembranosus (SM) muscles fallow deer red reared organic system. concentrations 6 elements (Ca, Pb) meat produced system Poland were analyzed with use inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. animals, i.e. 12 ca. 2- 3-year-old (Dama dama) 3- 4-year-old (Cervus...
