Definition of 'Muscle, Skeletal'

A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles.

CXCR4 enhances engraftment of muscle progenitor cells.

29 Sep 2009 Cell-based therapy is a possible avenue for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), an X-linked skeletal muscle-wasting disease. We have demonstrated that cultured myogenic progenitors derived from the adult skeletal muscle side ... Read more...


The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in skeletal muscle of patients with sleep disorders.

29 Sep 2009 An increased capillary network has been observed in skeletal muscle of patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). This finding could be due to upregulation of growth factors responsible for angiogenesis. ... Read more...


Effect of electrode location on surface electromyography changes due to eccentric elbow flexor exercise.

29 Sep 2009 Experiments were carried out to determine whether the location of electrodes has an effect on eccentric exercise-induced changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) variables in the biceps brachii muscle. sEMG signals were recorded with a grid of 64 ... Read more...
