Rehabilitation therapy with insulin-like growth factor after acute skeletal muscle injury

Rev. bras. med. esporte; 27 (3), 2021
ABSTRACT Introduction Skeletal muscle injuries account for 10% to 50% of treadmill sports injuries. Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) is a family of polypeptides with both insulin-like anabolic and growth-promoting effects. Sports play a vital role in the recovery of skeletal muscle injuries. Objective...

Sarcomere structure: the importance of desmin protein in muscle atrophy

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
Knowing the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle is critical to understand how it works under normal situation and the disorders caused by extreme or pathological conditions. Sarcomere is the basic structural unit of striated muscle tissue. An important element of sarcomere architecture are the intermediate...

Apoptosis in Denervated Skeletal Muscle

Int. j. morphol; 25 (3), 2007
The apoptosis phenomenon happens in normal tissues and in many pathological conditions as described by several researchers. Most studied in the 70s, this phenomenon remained almost forgotten in the 90s, when, with the advent of more advanced techniques, returned to laboratories. Thus, electronic microsco...
