Although a number of cytokines have been implicated in tissue regeneration, it is unknown which ones actually function in vivo. Here, we use mice with a targeted mutation in the leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) gene to examine the role of LIF in muscle regeneration. Using a muscle crush model, we sh

To determine the role of the nerve on the establishment of myofiber diversity in skeletal muscles, the lumbosacral spinal cord of 14-day gestation mice (E14) was laser ablated, and the accumulation of the myosin alkali light chains (MLC) mRNAs in crural (hindleg) muscles was evaluated just prior to
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
The therapeutic benefits of allopurinol pretreatment in renal ischaemia-reperfusion injury were investigated by monitoring renal malondialdehyde (MDA) and ATP levels together with calculated MDA/ATP ratio in ischaemic (45 min) and reperfused (15 min) rat kidneys. MDA levels remained unchanged during
This study was designed to evaluate the effects of crush injuries to the feeding arteries of a muscle flap on microcirculatory haemodynamics. Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three experimental groups for intravital microscopy of the cremaster muscle flap. Group 1 served as contro
Regulation of muscle cell Ca 2ϩ metabolism by 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D 3 [1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ] is mediated by the classic nuclear mechanism and a fast, nongenomic mode of action that activates signal transduction pathways. The role of individual protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in the regulation of intra
