This Review focuses on currently available literature describing sex differences in skeletal muscle metabolism in humans, as well as highlighting current research gaps within the field. These ...

Circadian rhythms that influence mammalian homeostasis and overall health have received increasing interest over the past two decades. The molecular clock, which is present in almost every cell, ...

Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that controls movement. Problems with these muscles can be minor, life-threatening, or ongoing problems that make it hard to perform basic daily activities.

A research team led by Prof. CHEN Yan and Prof. YANG Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed a physiological function of ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Resistance training, protein and recovery remain the most powerful tools for preserving strength and independence later in life.

Among adults with vs. without obstructive sleep apnea, skeletal muscle density/quality was reduced and skeletal muscle ...
