The Cavβ1a subunit regulates gene expression and suppresses myogenin in muscle progenitor cells
Voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav) β subunits are auxiliary subunits to Cavs. Recent reports show Cavβ subunits may enter the nucleus and suggest a role in transcriptional regulation, but the physiological relevance of this localization remains unclear. We sought to define the nuclear function of Cavβ in muscle progenitor cells (MPCs). We found that Cavβ1a is expressed in proliferating MPCs, b...
متن کاملAging impairs endothelium-dependent vasodilation in rat skeletal muscle arterioles.
Blood flow capacity in skeletal muscle declines with age. Reduced blood flow capacity may be related to decline in the maximal vasodilatory capacity of the resistance vasculature. This study tested the hypothesis that aging results in impaired vasodilatory capacity of first-order (1A) arterioles isolated from rat-hindlimb locomotory muscle: 1A arterioles (90-220 microm) from gastrocnemius and s...
متن کاملAging of Skeletal Muscle Fibers
Aging has become an important topic for scientific research because life expectancy and the number of men and women in older age groups have increased dramatically in the last century. This is true in most countries of the world including the Republic of Korea and the United States. From a rehabilitation perspective, the most important associated issue is a progressive decline in functional cap...
متن کاملEffect of resveratrol on SNARE proteins expression and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle of diabetic rats
Objective(s): Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complex proteins are involved in membrane trafficking. The expression of isoforms of SNAP-23, syntaxin-4, and VAMP-2 is significantly done in skeletal muscles; they control GLUT4 trafficking. It is believed that type 2 diabetes could be caused by the modifications in the express...
متن کاملAging induces muscle-specific impairment of endothelium-dependent dilation in skeletal muscle feed arteries.
We tested the hypothesis that aging decreases endothelium-dependent vasodilation in feed arteries perfusing rat skeletal muscle. In addition, we tested the hypothesis that attenuated vasodilator responses are associated with decreased endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD-1) expression. Soleus feed arteries (SFA) and gastrocnemius feed arteries (GFA) were isol...
