This paper reports the first comprehensive data set on anisotropic mechanical properties of isolated endo- and perimysial extracellular matrix skeletal muscle, presents corresponding protocols for preparing testing samples. In particular, decellularisation porcine muscle is achieved with caustic soda solution, parameters are defined based compressive tensile in order to identify optimal treatme...

neuromuscular disorders encompass a broad spectrum of disorders from the anterior horn cell to the muscle tissue itself. the given condition can be either genetic or acquired. these group of disorders are diagnostically challenging as many of them also pose other systemic findings. one example would the commonly seen mental retardation in duchenne muscular dystrophy. from the practical point of...

The origin of the term tissue engineering is not clear, but a 1985 proposal of Y.C. Fung to the National Science Foundation of the United States for a Center for the Engineering of Living Tissues and 2 conferences organized by the National Science Foundation in 1987 and 1988 are generally accepted as the origin of this lively and rapidly growing research field (The Emergence of Tissue Engineeri...

introduction: ursolic acid (ua) is a lipophilic triterpenoid compound, found in large amounts in apple peel. anabolic effects of ua on the skeletal muscle and the role of this tissue as a key regulator of systematic aging aroused this question in mind whether ua might amend skeletal muscle performances such as myoglobin expression and also whether it switches skeletal muscle fibers from glycoly...

a 41 year old woman was referred to our center because of a left breast mass lesion of about two months duration. routine pathologic examination of the mass revealed a .neoplastic tissue composed of large ovoid cells with clear cytoplasm arranged in broad sheets that were separated by thin bundles of connective tissue. immunohistochemically tumor cells express smooth muscle actin, cytokeratin, ...

This study was conducted to determine the concentration of five heavy metals, including lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and chromium in muscle, liver and gills of the gray mullet, Liza aurata in southern part of the Caspian Sea. The samples were collected during sexual maturity (in the fall) and sexual rest (in the spring). The mean concentration of lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, and chromiu...

Pesticides are used extensively in agricultural lands in Northern provinces of Iran which makes river ecosystems more vulnerable to pesticides pollution. This study was conducted in three river estuaries (Babolrud, Tajanrud and Gorganrud), focusing mainly on the concentration levels of organophosphate pesticides (diazinon, malathion, azinphos-methyl) in the muscle tissue of golden mullet fish, ...

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in human body. Known for its primary role movement, also plays important roles regulating metabolism, maintaining body temperature and providing large stores of protein, carbohydrates fats. Muscle cells (known as ‘muscle fibres’) can rapidly adapt to exercise or disuse by changing size function. Many myths misconceptions have proliferated through year...

Anthocyanins from Lycium ruthenicum Murry (LRAs) were used to explore the anti-fatigue activities of LRAs at different concentrations in a mouse fatigue model. Eight biochemical indexes determined liver tissue, muscle tissue and serum. The results showed that experiment mainly contained delphinium, petunidin malvidin. During 21 days gavage, there was no significant difference body weight. exerc...
