Effects of age, castration and gestation on calpains and calpastatin in sheep and rabbit skeletal muscle

Creator:

Ou, Bor-rung

Abstract:

Objectives of this study were to examine effects of age, castration and gestation on actvities of calpains and calpastatin in skeletal muscle. Also, the regulation of calpains and calpastatin at the molecular level was investigated. Two experiments were designed. Experiment 1 was designed to evaluate effects of age and castration...

Temporal effects of Dexamethasone on skeletal muscle protein metabolism in rabbits

Creator:

Abstract:

Glucocorticoids are growth-inhibiting steroids. They have been reported to reduce muscle growth by reducing protein synthesis. However, their actions on muscle protein degradation remain equivocal. Glucocorticoids have been reported to transiently increase muscle protein degradation, to not affect this process and to reduce muscle protein degradation. Reasons for these conflicting...
