Project description:vastus lateralis biopsies were obtained from healthy subjects, either young adults (20-29 yr old) or older (65-75 yr old) Keywords = muscle Keywords = aging Keywords: other
Project description:To define the skeletal muscle adaptations induced by exercise performed at high altitude hypoxia, we investigated if the gene expression profile of Vastus lateralis muscle was affected by 5000 m-above-sl-expedition. Two-condition experiment, Vastus lateralis muscle biopsy post-expedition vs Vastus lateralis muscle biopsy pre-expedition. Five volunteers/climbers. Biological replicates: 1 pre-expedition sample, 1 post-expedition sample.
Project description:The skeletal muscle proteomics study of vastus lateralis muscle biopsies which were collected from participants from the Genetic and Epigenetic Study of Aging and Laboratory Testing (GESTALT). The participants were free of major diseases, except for controlled hypertension or a history of cancer that had been clinically silent for at least 10 years, were not chronically medicated (except one on antihypertensive medication), had no physical or cognitive impairments, had a BMI less than 30 kg/m2, and were not professional athletes.
Project description:We assessed vastus lateralis muscle gene expression levels of 12 women with the metabolic syndrome before and after a 6 month exercise training program RNA was isolated from a vastus lateralis muscle biopsy of 6 women with the metabolic syndrome before and after a 6 month guided endurance exercise training program
Project description:RNA from skeletal muscle of mice over-expressing selectively in the skeletal muscle the gene FRG1, a candidate of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, was compared to RNA from skeletal muscle of WT mice. Total RNA obtained from isolated vastus lateralis muscles of 4 weeks old females WT mice and vastus lateralis muscles of 4 weeks old mice over-expressing FRG1, FSHD region gene 1.
