Caspase-3, a major player in apoptosis, engages apoptosis-activated cells into an irreversible pathway leading to cell death. In this article, we report that caspase-3 protein is absent from rat and mouse adult skeletal muscles, despite the abundant presence of its mRNA. During skeletal muscle devel

In rats, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in the fast muscles is several times higher than in the slow soleus muscle. The hypothesis that specific neural impulse patterns in fast or slow muscles are responsible for different AChE activities was tested by altering the neural activation pattern in
## Abstract Previously, we showed that laminin‐binding to the dystrophin glycoprotein complex (DGC) of skeletal muscle causes a heterotrimeric G‐protein (Gαβγ) to bind, changing the activation state of the Gsα subunit. Others have shown that laminin‐binding to the DGC also leads to Akt activation.
## Abstract The present work aimed at determining whether interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) produced by skeletal muscle during exercise is related, at least partly, to calcineurin activity. Rats were treated with two specific calcineurin inhibitors, cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506, or vehicle (Vhl); they were the
During vertebrate neuromuscular development, all muscle fibers are transiently innervated by more than one neuron. Among the numerous factors shown to potentially influence the passage from poly-to mononeuronal innervation, serine proteases and their inhibitors appear to play important roles. In thi
Nerve-evoked contractile activity in skeletal muscle regulates transcript and protein levels of many metabolic genes in a coordinate fashion, including the muscle isozyme of glycogen phosphorylase (MGP). Cellular signaling mechanisms mediating the activity-dependent modulation of MGP transcript leve
