Exogenous L6 myotube mitochondrial transplantation attenuates hypertrophy and elicits a unique proteomic signature in phenylephrine-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes

This study shows that transplanting L6 myotube mitochondria reduces hypertrophy and alters proteomic pathways in phenylephrine-treated H9C2 cardiomyocytes.

Aging concomitantly reduces skeletal muscle proteome plasticity and hypertrophic responses to resistance training

This study shows aging reduces proteome plasticity and hypertrophic responses to resistance training in skeletal muscle, but RT partially reverses some aging-related changes.

Leg immobilization and subsequent recovery resistance training affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis related markers in young healthy adults regardless of prior resistance training experience

This study examines how leg immobilization and recovery resistance training affect skeletal muscle angiogenesis markers in young adults, finding similar molecular responses regardless of prior training experience.

Effects of leg immobilization and recovery resistance training on skeletal muscle-molecular markers in previously resistance trained versus untrained adults

This study examines how resistance training status affects muscle size and molecular markers during leg immobilization and recovery training in young adults.

Skeletal muscle myosin heavy chain protein fragmentation as a potential marker of protein degradation in response to resistance training and disuse atrophy

This study examines how resistance exercise and disuse atrophy affect myosin heavy chain (MyHC) protein fragmentation in humans, finding increased fragmentation post-exercise and during atrophy, with adaptive responses after training.

Skeletal muscle DNA methylation and mRNA responses to a bout of higher versus lower load resistance exercise in previously trained men

This study compares DNA methylation and mRNA responses to lower- versus higher-load resistance exercise in trained men, finding similar gene expression and methylation patterns despite differences in exercise intensity.
