The COVID-19 pandemic is an extraordinary global emergency that has led to the
implementation of unprecedented measures in order to stem the spread of the infection …

Decreased skeletal muscle contractile activity (disuse) or unloading leads to muscle mass
loss, also known as muscle atrophy. The balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS) …

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health crisis as entire populations have been
asked to self-isolate and live in home-confinement for several weeks to months, which in …

The molecular mechanisms underlying the response to exercise and inactivity are not fully
understood. We propose an innovative approach to profile the skeletal muscle transcriptome …

Lifestyle intervention can be effective when treating non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases
(NAFLD) patients. Weight loss decreases cardiovascular and diabetes risk and can also …

Background: Although the health benefits of regular physical activity and exercise are well
established and have been incorporated into national public health recommendations, there …

Short (< 10 days) periods of muscle disuse, often necessary for recovery from illness or
injury, lead to various negative health consequences. The current study investigated …

Muscle atrophy is caused by an imbalance in contractile protein synthesis and degradation
which can be triggered by various conditions including Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) …

Prolonged periods of skeletal muscle inactivity or mechanical unloading (bed rest, hindlimb
unloading, immobilization, spaceflight and reduced step) can result in a significant loss of …
