The purpose of this study was to assess whether electrical stimulation-induced increases in muscular activity could improve capillary supply and correct previously documented abnormal vasodilator and vasoconstrictor responses of arterioles in limb skeletal muscle post-myocardial infarction (MI). Extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle from rats with surgically induced MI ( approximately 30% of t...

The morphology of gastrocnemius muscles was examined in RFPs (renal failure patients) being treated using HD (haemodialysis) and CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis). RFPs (n=24) volunteered to participate in the present study. Twelve RFPs (five women and seven men; mean age, 55 years) were undergoing CAPD treatment and 12 RFPs (two women and ten men; mean age, 62 years) were underg...

Genetic background contributes to endurance performance in humans. This has also been well established in rodent models by selecting lines of mice for their high exercise capacity. The ‘mini mice’ used in the study by Audet et al. (2011) in this issue of Experimental Physiology came from the 54th generation of mouse lines selected since the early 1990s for their exercise capacity in wheel-runni...
