Leucine incorporation into proteins and cathepsin -D activity in human skeletal muscles. The influence of the age of the subject.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical material The incorporation rate of leucine into muscle proteins was sludied in 25 women and 27 men with a mean age of 55 -419 and 52 417 (S.D.) yr, respectively. Cathepsin-D activity in muscle tissue was determined in 28 women, aged 51 417 yr and 13 men, aged 65 410 yr. The patients were admitted to the hospital for operation of uncomplicated gallstone disease or peptic ulcer. Apart from the current surgical disease they were all healthy as judged fl'om routine clinical and laboratory investigations.

Effect of progressive resistance exercise on β1 integrin and vinculin protein levels in slow-and fast-twitch skeletal muscles of male rats
Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a flexible and ever changing tissue and the role of costameric proteins in its response to different stimuli is not well defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of progressive resistance exercise on β1 integrin and vinculin proteins in fast and slow twitch skeletal muscles of male rats. Methods: Twelve male Wistar rats (weight: 298±5.2 gr...
