Mitochondrial, sarcoplasmic membrane integrity and protein degradation in heart and skeletal muscle in exercised rats

Protection of Panax ginseng in injured muscles after eccentric exercise

“…Carbonyl contents and nitrate levels are increased after exhaustive exercise in skeletal muscle. (Perez et al, 2002(Perez et al, , 2003.…”

An expansion of Simons’ integrated hypothesis of trigger point formation

“…Maximal concentric and eccentric exercise damage sarcoplasmic and endoplasmic reticulum in skeletal muscle. Muscle protein oxidation is produced in every form of exhaustive exercise, including eccentric exercise [42]. Increased muscle fiber tension or contraction tension develops after injury to even a few muscle fibers.…”

Exercise-induced cardioprotection — biochemical, morphological and functional evidence in whole tissue and isolated mitochondria

“…The stability and viscoelastic properties of heart mitochondrial membranes were analyzed by Perez et al [113] after a variety of acute and chronic exercise. According to the data provided by fluorescence polarization methods, the acute bouts of exercise (exhaustive, maximal exhaustive and eccentric) affected mitochondrial membrane fluidity, at least in part due to the additional production of ROS.…”
