In this review we first discuss the role of intramuscular fat as a factor affecting consumer preferences for unprocessed pork, beef and lamb meat. The development of intramuscular fat in beef cattle, sheep and pigs is discussed in relation to increasing carcass weight and the potential for muscle growth.

Intramuscular lipomas are considered a rare type of benign lipomas. They are usually located deeper and are less palpable than subcutaneous lipomas. A painful presentation with no palpable mass will make clinical diagnosis difficult; in these cases, further imaging should be considered. Only a small number of cases of intramuscular lipomas present with pain; these are located in the supraspinat...

Free fatty acids represent an important source of energy during endurance exercise. Plasmatic fatty acids are delivered to skeletal muscle as free fatty acids bounded to albumin or associated to triacylglycerol (TAG) found in lipoproteins. However, besides these plasmatic sources, hydrolysis of intramuscular TAG also contributes to increase fatty acids availability during endurance exercise. Th...

A creatina é um aminoácido endógeno responsável pela ressíntese de adenosina trifosfato (ATP), quando em sua forma intramuscular fosfocreatina (PCr), encontrado 95% no músculo esquelético e 5% livre: creatina. substância começou a ganhar força partir dos estudos realizados 1990 já possuía grande popularidade com seu uso ergogênico.
