## Abstract Titin, an elastic and giant myofibrillar protein, is responsible for generating passive tension and maintaining sarcomere structure in striated muscles. Several studies have reported attenuation of passive tension and disorganization of sarcomere in atrophic muscles, but the changes of

## Abstract Recent years have seen an emerging interest in the composition of the skeletal muscle extracellular matrix (ECM) and in the developmental and physiological roles of its constituents. Many cell surfaceβassociated and ECMβembedded molecules occur in highly organized spatiotemporal pattern
## Abstract Skeletal muscle is a tissue of high demand and it accounts for most of daily energy consumption. The classical concept of energy metabolism in skeletal muscle has been profoundly modified on the basis of studies showing the influence of additional factors (i.e., uncoupling proteins (UCP
Iron is indispensible for life, essential for such processes as oxygen transport, electron transfer, and DNA synthesis. Because of iron's virtual insolubility and potential toxicity, specialized mechanism and molecules for its acquisition, transport, and storage in a soluble, nontoxic form have evol
