Citrulline does not prevent skeletal muscle wasting or weakness in limb-casted mice.
BACKGROUND Increasing arginine (Arg) availability reduces atrophy in cultured skeletal muscle cells. Supplementation with its metabolic precursor citrulline (Cit) is more effective at improving skeletal muscle Arg concentrations. OBJECTIVE We tested the hypothesis that Cit supplementation would attenuate skeletal muscle atrophy and loss of function during hindlimb immobilization in mice. ME...
متن کاملOverexpression of IGF-I in skeletal muscle of transgenic mice does not prevent unloading-induced atrophy.
This study examined the association between local insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) overexpression and atrophy in skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that endogenous skeletal muscle IGF-I mRNA expression would decrease with hindlimb unloading (HU) in mice, and that transgenic mice overexpressing human IGF-I (hIGF-I) specifically in skeletal muscle would exhibit less atrophy after HU. Male trans...
متن کاملOverexpression of SMPX in Adult Skeletal Muscle Does not Change Skeletal Muscle Fiber Type or Size
Mechanical factors such as stretch are thought to be important in the regulation of muscle phenotype. Small muscle protein X-linked (SMPX) is upregulated by stretch in skeletal muscle and has been suggested to serve both as a transcription factor and a mechanosensor, possibly giving rise to changes in both fiber size and fiber type. We have used in vivo confocal imaging to study the subcellular...
متن کاملTargeted ablation of TRAF6 inhibits skeletal muscle wasting in mice
Skeletal muscle wasting is a major human morbidity, and contributes to mortality in a variety of clinical settings, including denervation and cancer cachexia. In this study, we demonstrate that the expression level and autoubiquitination of tumor necrosis factor (α) receptor adaptor protein 6 (TRAF6), a protein involved in receptor-mediated activation of several signaling pathways, is enhanced ...
متن کاملA physiological level of clenbuterol does not prevent atrophy or loss of force in skeletal muscle of old rats.
Supraphysiological levels of clenbuterol (CL) reduce muscle degradation in both young and old animals; however, these pharmacological levels induce side effects that are unacceptable in the elderly. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that a "physiological" dose of CL (10 microg. kg(-1). day(-1)) would attenuate the loss of in situ isometric force and mass in muscles of senescent rats durin...
