Skeletal muscle: novel and intriguing characteristics as a secretory organ

Growing evidence has shown that skeletal muscle secretes several bioactive proteins from within the cell into extracellular fluid. The secretion of several proteins, whose levels increase in response to exercise, can regulate the functions of several organs via autocrine and paracrine actions, and mediate exercise-induced benefits such as metabolic improvement, anti-inflammation, and muscle bui...

Glycogen as a fuel for skeletal muscle.

The utilization of glycogen by skeletal muscle was, at one time, one of the central problems of biochemistry. Attention focused on the most dramatic property of the system: the very rapid glycogenolysis that occurs synchronously with muscle contraction. This phenomenon now has a generally accepted explanation : the increase in Ca2+ that induces muscle contraction also activates phosphorylase ki...

Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Skeletal Muscle Dystrophies

Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are inherited diseases that affect skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues. Cases range from mild to very severe, resulting in respiratory or cardiac failures. No cures are available for MDs and corticosteroid treatments, mainly deflazacort and prednisolone, only help to control the inflammatory process and slightly delay the progression of the disease. This is due to the...

Boric Acid-Functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2 as a Novel Superparamagnetically Recoverable Nano Catalyst for Mukaiyama-Aldol Reaction

We have reported the fabrication of boric acid incorporated into surface of magnetite nanoparticles. The catalyst was characterized using spectroscopic, magnetic and thermal techniques (FT-IR, SEM, XRD, ICP, VSM and TGA). It catalyzed Mukaiyama aldol reaction of a ketene silyl acetal type nucleophile ((1-methoxy-2-methylprop-1-enyloxy) trimethylsilane), and various aldehydes (aromatic, aliphati...
