Simple-to-use, portable, and reliable methods to evaluate sarcopenia are scarce, and sarcopenia...

Sedentary behaviour impairs skeletal muscle repair modulating the inflammatory ...

This study investigated whether sedentary behaviour modulates skeletal-muscle repair and tissue inflammatory response after cardiotoxin (CTX)-induced injury. Singly caged rats spent 8 weeks either as a sedentary group (SED, n = 15) or as a control group (EX, n = 15)—caged with running wheels for voluntary running. All rats had each tibial anterior muscle infused either with CTX (CTX; right muscle) or saline sol...
