Rapamycin impairs trabecular bone acquisition from high-dose but not low-dose intermittent parathyroid hormone treatment.

29 Nov 2009 The osteo-anabolic effects of intermittent parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment require insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling through the IGF-I receptor. A major downstream target of the IGF-I receptor (via Akt) is the mammalian target of ... Read more...

Age-dependent bupivacaine-induced muscle toxicity during continuous peripheral nerve block in rats.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Regional blocks improve postoperative analgesia and postoperative rehabilitation in children and adult patients. Continuous peripheral nerve blocks have been proposed as safe and effective techniques for postoperative pain relief and ... Read more...

The differential role of motor cortex in stretch reflex modulation induced by changes in environmental mechanics and verbal instruction.

19 Oct 2009 The motor cortex assumes an increasingly important role in higher mammals relative to that in lower mammals. This is true to such an extent that the human motor cortex is deeply involved in reflex regulation and it is common to speak of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Muscle, Skeletal'

Definition: 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.
