...Angiotensin II (ANGII) is reportedly involved in the development of skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The present investigation evaluated the effects of two ANGII doses on the phenotypic characteristics of insulin resistance syndrome and insulin action and signaling in rat skeletal muscle. Male Sprague...

...skeletal muscle growth rates are a function of protein and myonuclear accretion. Precocious exposure of the fetus to glucocorticoids (GLC) in utero impairs muscle growth. Reduced muscle protein synthesis rates contribute to this response, but the consequences for myonuclear hyperplasia are unknown. To test...

...‘all stress’ to ‘all bacteria’ followed by a sober realization that both factors play a role, separately as well as together. This raises the question as to whether stress and H. pylori interact, and if so, how? Stress has also been implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and related disorders...

...]-FDG), revealed greater glucose uptake in bone than that in classical glucose storage and utilisation organs such as the liver, muscle and white adipose tissue (WAT) (Zoch et al. 2016). Furthermore, skeletal [18F]-FDG uptake was greater in young than in older mice, which may be due to the rapid bone formation...

...) demonstrated that infusing epinephrine resulted in an increase in skeletal muscle phosphorylase a and decrease in glycogen synthase I activity with a modest but significant decrease in glycogen content. During exercise, the effects of increasing plasma epinephrine concentration on the metabolism response...
