Limb girdle muscular dystrophies are heterogeneous autosomal hereditary neuromuscular disorders. They produce dystrophic changes on muscle biopsy and they are associated with mutations in several ...

Dystrophin is a large filamentous protein with a molecular weight of 427 kDa that protects the sarcolemma from mechanical stress during muscle contraction. Dystrophin connects to cytoskeletal protein ...

Cold-induced skeletal muscle glucose uptake tended to increase upon cold acclimation, which was paralleled by increased basal GLUT4 localization in the sarcolemma, as assessed through muscle biopsies.

It glues various parts of muscle tissue together and links them to the sarcolemma, or the outer membrane. If dystrophin is absent or deformed, this process does not work correctly. This weakens ...

Though many people experience muscle twitching, it's often incorrectly identified as a muscle spasm. While both are involuntary contractions of a muscle, muscle spasms and muscle twitching aren't ...

Muscle cramps are common, affect virtually everyone and are mostly harmless. But that doesn't mean their occurrence is any less painful or the inconvenience they cause diminished. A muscle spasm ...

mortality SCN4A encodes the α-subunit of the skeletal muscle voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.4. NaV1.4 is present throughout the sarcolemma but is most densely distributed at the motor end plate. A ...

When performing a strength training program, people may find it helpful to train certain muscle groups together. This can help prevent overtraining and maximize results. The Dietary Guidelines for ...
