Automated image analysis of skeletal muscle fiber cross-sectional area.
Morphological characteristics of muscle fibers, such as fiber size, are critical factors that determine the health and function of the muscle. However, at this time, quantification of muscle fiber cross-sectional area is still a manual or, at best, a semiautomated process. This process is labor intensive, time consuming, and prone to errors, leading to high interobserver variability. We have de...
متن کاملAutomated fiber-type-specific cross-sectional area assessment and myonuclei counting in skeletal muscle.
Skeletal muscle is an exceptionally adaptive tissue that compromises 40% of mammalian body mass. Skeletal muscle functions in locomotion, but also plays important roles in thermogenesis and metabolic homeostasis. Thus characterizing the structural and functional properties of skeletal muscle is important in many facets of biomedical research, ranging from myopathies to rehabilitation sciences t...
متن کاملMuscle fiber cross-sectional area is increased after two weeks of twice daily KAATSU-resistance training
Low-intensity (20% of 1-RM) resistance training combined with restriction of muscular venous blood flow (KAATSU training) produces muscle hypertrophy and strength gain (Takarada et al., 2000; 2002). Muscle CSA is increased to a similar degree as traditional high-intensity (HIT, 80% of 1-RM) resistance training when KAATSU training is performed at a similar training volume and frequency (Takarad...
متن کاملUsing Optaflexx® (Ractopamine-HCl) to Increase Muscle Fiber Cross- Sectional Area and Diameter
Ractopamine-HCl was approved for use in the swine industry in 1999 and is sold under the trade name Paylean®. As of 2003 ractopamine-HCl has been approved for use in cattle fed in confinement during the last 24 to 42 d of feeding before harvest and is sold under the trade name Optaflexx®. In numerous studies with swine and emerging data with cattle, when supplemented before harvest following la...
متن کاملTotal body skeletal muscle and adipose tissue volumes: estimation from a single abdominal cross-sectional image.
A single abdominal cross-sectional computerized axial tomography and magnetic resonance image is often obtained in studies examining adipose tissue (AT) distribution. An abdominal image might also provide additional useful information on total body skeletal muscle (SM) and AT volumes with related physiological insights. We therefore investigated the relationships between abdominal SM and AT are...
