How can you use “fiber-type” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
We used a repeated-measures analysis of variance with a Huynh-Feldt correction to compare emphysematous and control groups with respect to MHC transcript levels by PCR and MHC-determined fiber-type number by immunocytochemistry.
However, there may be cause for some optimism for the average mortal, since endurance exercise training in healthy humans leads to fiber-type specific increases in the abundance of PGC-1 and PPAR-α protein in skeletal muscle (Russell et al.
Skeletal muscle fiber-type phenotype is regulated by several independent signaling pathways (Figure 3).
Calcineurin, a Ca 2+ /calmodulin-activated phosphatase implicated in nerve activity-dependent fiber-type specification in skeletal muscle, directly controls the phosphorylation state of the transcription factor NFAT, allowing for its translocation to the nucleus and leading to the activation of slow-type muscle proteins in cooperation with myocyte enhancer factor 2 (MEF2) proteins and other regulatory proteins (Chin et al.
Thus—through functional genomics—calcineurin, calmodulin-dependent kinase, PGC-1α, and activated PPARδ form the basis of a signaling network that controls skeletal muscle fiber-type transformation and metabolic profiles that protect against insulin resistance and obesity.
