Characteristics of Skeletal Muscle as a Secretory Organ
Fig. 9.1 Skeletal muscle is a secreted organ. Several proteins and low molecular weight peptides are secreted by muscle cells. These secreted factors can regulate muscle itself in addition to…
Role of the Ubiquitin-Proteasome Pathway in Skeletal Muscle
Fig. 2.1 Schematic diagram of the 26S proteasome. The 26S proteasome consists of the 20S core particle (CP) and the 19S regulatory particle (RP). The CP is made up of…
Cytokines in Skeletal Muscle Growth and Decay
Fig. 5.1 Humoral mediators and associated pathways drive anabolic and catabolic responses in the skeletal muscle (Costamagna et al. [40]) 5.3 Muscle Injury and Immune Cells Even though molecular regulation…
