Para avaliar os efeitos do exercício de enduro no músculo esquelético, foram utilizados neste estudo 36 equinos da raça Puro Sangue Árabe divididos em dois grupos: treinados e não treinados para enduro. Foram obtidos fragmentos musculares da região profunda do músculo glúteo médio e processados para técnicas histoquímicas e imunoistoquímica, utilizando-se anticorpos específicos contra isoformas de cadeia pesada de miosina (MyHC) lenta e rápida. As fibras identificadas pela histoquímica e imunoistoquímica foram analisadas uma a uma. Determinou-se a porcentagem dos diferentes tipos de fibras musculares, e avaliou-se que, a porcentagem das fibras do tipo IIA foi significativamente mais alta do que a porcentagem das fibras dos tipos I e IIX no grupo não treinado (P<0,05). Em contra partida, a porcentagem das fibras do tipo I foi significativamente mais alta do que a porcentagem das fibras dos tipo IIA e IIX no grupo treinado (P<0,05). Também foram analisados, a média da área de corte transversal e o menor diâmetro da fibra e observou-se que, a média de corte transversal das fibras do tipo IIX foi significativamente maior comparada à média de corte de transversal das fibras dos tipos I e IIA em ambos os grupos. Em conclusão pode-se afirmar que, o exercício de enduro em equinos aumenta a população das fibras de contração lenta, em detrimento da população de fibras de contração rápida / The skeletal muscle fibers are versatile entities capable to change their phonotype according to energy demand. To evaluate the effects of exercise over equine skeletal muscle in this study, 36 Arabian horses divided in 2 groups trained and untrained for endurance were used. The samples was obtained from de deep region of the gluteus medius muscle and processed for histochemistry and immunohistochemistry using specific monoclonal antibodies to selected fast and slow isoforms myosin heavy chain (MyHC). The histochemical and immunohistochemical categorization of the muscle fiber types were compared fiber by fiber. It was analyzed the percentage of different fiber types where, in the untrained group, the percentage of the fiber type IIA was higher significantly than the percentage of fiber types I and IIX (P<0.05). Unlike, the group trained showed a higher proportion of fiber type I than the fiber type IIX (P<0.05). The cross section area and lesser fiber diameter were also analyzed, and showed that, CSA of fiber type IIX was higher significantly than fibers I and IIA (P<0.05) in both groups. In conclusion, endurance exercise in equines increase the population of slow-twitch fibers in detriment of fast-twitch fibers

A FIBER TYPE ASSESSMENT OF MASSETER MUSCLES IN FIVE ASYMMETRY CLASSIFICATIONSGray, Holly Rose January 2019 (has links)
ABSTRACT: Objectives: Masseter muscle fast-fiber composition is reportedly increased on the deviant facial asymmetry side in dentofacial deformities patients. Recently, four distinct asymmetry classes have been identified, based on posterior-anterior cephalometrics in this same population, which may have different functional etiologies. Our aim is to relate muscle fiber type properties with specific asymmetric craniofacial growth in these asymmetry groups. Methods: Diagnostic evaluations, radiographs, and masseter specimens were obtained from orthognathic surgery patients at the University of Lille. Immunohistochemical muscle staining and morphometrics determined the mean areas and percent occupancies of slow-I, fast-II, neonatal, atrial and hybrid fiber types. Eighty-three subjects (twenty nine symmetric, fifty-four asymmetric) had at least unilateral (left or right) fiber type information, while twenty-seven had bilateral (left and right) data. Fiber data were compared between symmetry and asymmetry subjects and between the four asymmetry classes. Significant differences between groups were determined by Fisher’s and ANOVA tests. Results: Type-II mean fiber area (p<0.006) and percent occupancy (p<0.018) were significantly greater on shorter ramal sides in asymmetric compared to symmetric subjects, supporting previous data for facial vertical dimension asymmetry. Neonatal- atrial mean fiber area (p<0.017) and percent occupancy (p<0.027) were decreased in 3 asymmetric groups. No significant difference was found amongst the four asymmetry classes (p<0.05). Conclusions: Imbalanced skeletal proportions are associated with similar imbalances in fiber type properties in left versus right masseter muscle biopsies sampled in the same patient at the time of orthognathic surgery. Specific to our findings, there is an association between increase in neo-atrial and decrease in type II fiber type area and percent occupancy in symmetric patients. / Oral Biology

Utilizing electromyography to identify causes of exhaustion in pigs fed ractopamine-HCLNoel, Jere Annabella January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Animal Sciences and Industry / John M. Gonzalez / Pigs fed ractopamine-HCl (RAC) are more prone to fatigue and exhaustion when improperly handled. Wireless electromyography (EMG) can be used to directly measure median power frequency (MdPF) and root mean square (RMS) as indicators of action potential conduction velocity and muscle fiber recruitment, respectively. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of RAC on exhaustion, EMG measures, and muscle fiber type characteristics when barrows were subjected to increased levels of activity. Thirty-four barrows were assigned to one of two treatments: a commercial finishing diet containing 0 mg/kg (CON) RAC or a diet formulated to meet the requirements of finishing barrows fed 10 mg/kg RAC (RAC+) for 35 d. After 32 d of feeding, barrows were walked around a circular track at 0.79 m/s until subjective exhausted was reached. Time, distance, and speed were measured. Wireless surface EMG sensors were affixed to the Deltoideus (DT), Triceps brachii lateral head (TLH), Tensor fasciae latae (TFL), and Semitendinosus (ST) muscles. After harvest, samples of each muscle were collected for fiber type, succinate dehydrogenase, and capillary density analysis. Speed was not different (P = 0.82) between treatments, but RAC+ barrows reached subjective exhaustion quicker and covered less distance than CON barrows (P < 0.01). The end-point MdPF was not affected by the RAC diet. The RAC diet did not change end-point RMS values in the DT or TLH; however, the RAC+ barrows tended to have decreased ST and increased TFL end-point RMS values (P < 0.07). The percentage of type I fibers tended to be greater (P = 0.07) in RAC+ barrows, but the RAC diet tended to increase (P = 0.07) size of type I fibers and increase (P = 0.03) the size of type IIA fibers. Succinate dehydrogenase was not different between treatments. The RAC+ barrows had more (P = 0.03) capillaries per fiber than CON barrows. A diet containing RAC contributes to increased onset of subjective exhaustion, possibly due to rapid loss of active muscle fibers and chronic loss of oxidative muscle fibers with no change in muscle metabolism.

Liver Kinase B1/AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling in the DiaphragmBrown, Jacob D. 30 June 2010 (has links) (PDF)
The Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1)/AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway is a major regulator of skeletal muscle metabolic processes. During exercise, LKB1-mediated phosphorylation of AMPK leads to its activation, promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and glucose transport, among other effects. The roles of LKB1 and AMPK have not been fully characterized in the diaphragm. Two methods of AMPK activation were used to characterize LKB1/AMPK signaling in diaphragms from muscle-specific LKB1 knockout (KO) and littermate control (C) mice: (1) acute injection of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside (AICAR) and (2) 5-min direct electrical stimulation (ES) of the diaphragm. Diaphragms were excised 60 minutes post-AICAR injection and immediately after ES. AMPK phosphorylation increased with AICAR and ES in C but not KO mice. Acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC) phosphorylation increased with AICAR in C but not KO mice, but increased in both genotypes with ES. While the majority of mitochondrial enzyme levels were lower in KO diaphragms, uncoupling protein 3 (UCP-3) levels were not different between genotypes. A IIx to IIb fiber type switch was observed in KO diaphragms. While in vitro peak force generation was similar between genotypes, KO diaphragms fatigued more quickly and had an impaired ability to recover. In conclusion, LKB1 regulates AMPK phosphorylation, mitochondrial enzyme expression, fiber type distribution, as well as recovery of the diaphragm from fatigue.
