<b><i>with slide </i></b>/ Six-month follow-up results of a trial that investigated the percutaneous delivery of skeletal myoblasts have shown that the catheter-based procedure is feasible, but ...

New Orleans, LA - Downregulation of insulin-growth-factor 1 (IGF-1) is the likely mechanism by which high angiotensin-II levels promote skeletal-muscle wasting in HF, a study in mice has found. [1 ...

Indeed, physical training can have beneficial effects on skeletal muscle abnormalities and oxidative metabolism. 103 In experimental models of HF, exercise training increases muscle oxidative ...

Abnormalities in intracellular calcium release and reuptake are responsible for decreased contractility in heart failure (HF). We have previously shown that cardiac ryanodine receptors (RyRs) are ...
