Commentary Mutations causing muscle weakness
Transmission of signals from nerves to muscles is critical for life, so substantial safety factor mechanisms have evolved to ensure its success. Despite this, diseases can impair even this robust system. Characterizing these disease mechanisms greatly contributes to understanding this fundamental process. Neuromuscular transmission serves as a model for helping to understand neurotransmission t...
متن کاملExpression of protocadherin gamma in skeletal muscle tissue is associated with age and muscle weakness
BACKGROUND The skeletal muscle system plays an important role in the independence of older adults. In this study we examine differences in the skeletal muscle transcriptome between healthy young and older subjects and (pre-)frail older adults. Additionally, we examine the effect of resistance-type exercise training on the muscle transcriptome in healthy older subjects and (pre-)frail older adul...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle weakness, fatigue and sarcoidosis.
S arcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder that may involve many organs. Beside organ specific symptoms, non-specific constitutional complaints such as fatigue and general weakness are frequent. The granuloma formation in sarcoidosis is driven by an array of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a, interleukin (IL)-6, interferon (INF)-c and others. High circulating levels of ...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in GDNF Content of Skeletal Muscle
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a very potent neurotrophic factor that promotes the maintenance and survival of peripheral motor neurons and is expressed in skeletal muscle. Progressive loss of motor neurons occurs with aging, and over time this degeneration elicits devastating consequences on the physical performance and quality of life of the elderly. One possible explan...
متن کاملNeurophysiological correlates of aging-related muscle weakness.
Muscle weakness associated with aging implicates central neural degeneration. However, role of the primary motor cortex (M1) is poorly understood, despite evidence that gains in strength in younger adults are associated with its adaptations. We investigated whether weakness of biceps brachii in aging analogously relates to processes in M1. We enrolled 20 young (22.6 ± 0.87 yr) and 28 old (74.79...
