(1) Background: this study aimed to determine if there are differences in quadriceps and hamstring muscle activation professional male female soccer players. (2) Methods: was recorded by surface electromyography 27 players (19 8 female). The performed the Bulgarian squat lunge exercises. Vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, rectus femoris, semitendinosus, biceps femoris were muscles analyzed. (3)...

Avian reproductive system is regulated by the integrated system, the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis involves two major neuroendocrine systems controlling avian reproduction. These neuroendocrine systems include the chicken gonadotropin releasing hormone/follicle stimulating hormone-luteinizing hormone (GnRH/FSH-LH), and vasoactive intestinal peptide/prolactin (VIP/PRL) n...

BACKGROUND The echogenicity patterns of ultrasound scans contain information of tissue composition in muscles. The aim was: (1) to develop a quantitative ultrasound image analysis to characterize tissue composition in terms of intensity and structure of the ultrasound images, and (2) to use the method for characterization of ultrasound images of the supraspinatus muscle, and the vastus laterali...

introduction: gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (gnih) is believed to be an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) secretion. the role of gnih in lactational inhibition of gonadotropin secretion is not well known therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactation on expression of gnih in these nuclei of lactating and non-lactating rats. methods: ten postpa...

Objective To investigate associations between running speeds and contraction times in 8- to 13-year-old children. Method This longitudinal study analyzed tensiomyographic measurements of vastus lateralis and biceps femoris muscles' contraction times and maximum running speeds in 107 children (53 boys, 54 girls). Data were evaluated using multiple correspondence analysis. Results A gender differ...

The calcium-binding proteins calbindin (CB), calretinin (CR), and parvalbumin (PV) have been extensively studied over the last decade since they appear to be important as buffers of intracellular calcium. In the present study we investigated the distribution of these proteins in the chick visual system by means of conventional immunocytochemistry. The results indicated that CB, CR, and PV are w...
