The role of the epidermal growth factor signalling pathway in regulation of skeletal muscle fibre type
2018-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Deranged skeletal muscle fibre type proportion is a common characteristic in a number of chronic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiac failure, type 2 diabetes and obesity. In these conditions, there is a low quadriceps proportion of slow-twitch (ST) fibres, relative to fast-twitch (FT) fibres, associated with exercise limitation, insulin resistance, adiposity and, in COPD, mortali...
