Abstract:

Ischaemia reperfusion injury of skeletal muscle is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in various surgical specialities. Developing a protective method or pharmacological agent that will limit this damage will be of considerable benefit to both patients and doctors. I have used potassium channel openers and calcium as preconditioning agents. The results show that potassium channel openers are a viable option whereas the use of calcium can exacerbate muscle damage. I looked at various protocols of ischaemic and pharmacological preconditioning. The results from both ischaemic and pharmacolo

Abstract:

The primary cilium has recently been recognised as an essential regulator of the Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signalling pathway. Mutations that disrupt cilia function in humans can cause conditions known as ciliopathies. A wide range of phenotypes is observed in chick and mouse ciliopathy models,including polydactyly, craniofacial defects and polycystic kidneys. The Shh pathway and therefore primary cilia are vital for many developmental processes, including embryonic muscle development, with recent evidence suggesting they may also play a role in adult muscle regeneration. Our studies focus on the T

Abstract:

Angiopoietins are ligands for the endothelial cell-specific Tie-2 receptors. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) activates Tie-2 receptors in the vasculature and promotes endothelial cell survival, proliferation, migration and differentiation. Angipoietin-2 (Ang-2) is synthesized mainly by endothelial cells and antagonizes Ang-1-induced Tie-2 receptor activation. In special circumstances, Ang-2 activates Tie-2 receptors and promotes angiogenesis. In this thesis, I address the regulation and functional significance of angiopoietins and Tie-2 receptors in normal and regenerating skeletal muscles. I describe

Abstract:

Proteolysis is a component of protein turnover, controlled by multiple proteolytic systems. Alterations in system components within skeletal muscle has been associated with hypertrophy, remodelling, atrophy, apoptosis and metabolic dysregulation. Key components may have novel regulatory roles, e. g. calpain-3 and cathepsin-L. Experiments described within this thesis investigated the hypothesis that the gene expression of specific proteolytic system components within skeletal muscle may be co-ordinately regulated and altered during nutritional and pharmacological states known to modify protein

In the past decade there has been a significant increase in focus on the effect upper body vibration (UBV) has on the recovery of skeletal muscle after exercise-induced muscle damage. Recovery can be defined and investigated using a wide variety of methods. This study used three different measurements to track muscle recovery over 7 days following an exercise muscle damage protocol and applied vibration to a mathematical model. A visual analog scale (VAS) was used to measure muscle pain, a strain gauge was used to obtain maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) strength measurements, and

Abstract:

Le muscle squelettique possède une importante capacité de régénération en réponse aux dommages causés par des blessures, des exercices intensifs ou des myopathies, grâce aux cellules souches musculaires (MuSCs) situées sous la lame basale des fibres en état de quiescence au repos. Suite à une lésion, ces cellules s'activent, prolifèrent et se différencient en myoblastes, lesquels fusionnent pour former de nouveaux myotubes. La régénération musculaire implique également un recrutement de cellules immunitaires qui sont essentielles à l'élimination des débris nécrotiques et au retour à l'homéosta

Abstract:

Cells contain an elaborate cytoskeleton which plays a major role in a variety of cellular functions including: maintenance of cell shape and dimension, providing mechanical strength, cell motility, cytokinesis during mitosis and meiosis and intracellular transport. The cell cytoskeleton is made up of three types of protein filaments: the microtubules, the intermediate filaments and the actin cytoskeleton. These components interact with each other to allow the cell to function correctly. When functioning incorrectly, disruptions to many cellular pathway have been observed with mutations in vari

Abstract:

An age-related loss of muscle mass is associated with increased frailty in the elderly. The effect is felt at both a national scale, with an increased budgetary demand for health services directed towards the ageing population, and by the individual where reduced mobility significantly reduces their quality of life. It is unclear whether all skeletal muscle types are affected in the same manner. This thesis considered how thiol signalling, facilitated through reactive thiol groups on cysteine amino acids, may affect skeletal muscle ageing as it is crucial for normal intracellular function.

Particular emphasis is paid to the contribution of numbers and types of muscle fibres to overall muscle growth and ultimate mass, and also to the mechanisms whereby factors such as nutrition in mammals and temperature in fish may affect these parameters.

Abstract:

The force response of the locust hind leg extensor muscle to input excitation pulses is modelled. Despite the processes behind muscle contraction being well established, no broadly valid method of modelling skeletal muscle exists. Studies that compare the merits of existing models are extremely scarce and researchers make various assumptions in order to simplify the complex, nonlinear behaviour of the muscle. Locusts provide an opportunity to develop a muscle model in a simpler system, that will still show similar properties to that of mammalian muscles. In developing a model previous work is

Abstract:

Once an animal is harvested for meat, skeletal muscle attempts to maintain ATP at or near antemortem levels. To maintain ATP levels postmortem, stored glycogen is catabolized to produce ATP through glycolysis and possibly oxidative metabolism. Hydrolysis of the produced ATP acidifies muscle until an ultimate pH is reached. The ultimate pH of meat directly impacts the quality characteristics of color, texture, and water holding capacity. Therefore, our research intends to describe the contributions glycolysis and oxidative metabolism play in determining ultimate pH and fresh meat quality. Tradi
