In response to stress, cells produce a series of heat shock proteins (Hsps). One of the most prominent Hsps, is the 70 kDa Hsp (Hsp70). Hsp70 is a highly conserved and essential protein against stress. The skeletal muscle responds to a diverse group of stress signals namely, muscle contraction linked energy and milieu challenges, ischemia and exercise by producing Hsp70. The extent of this Hsp70 response in skeletal muscle depends on the type and intensity of the signal, and is characterized in a muscle fiber specific manner by a special time course. Hsp70 in the skeletal muscle is regulated at transcriptional, translational and posttranslational levels. Hsp70 serves as an indicator for cellular stress as a molecular chaperone, plays pivotal role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by preventing apoptosis, influences energy metabolism, facilitates cellular processes in terms of muscular adaptation and interacts with other signalling pathways. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the skeletal muscle Hsp70 response.

Nitric oxide in exercise physiology: past and present perspectives.
Front Physiol
January 2025
School of Kinesiology, Auburn University, Auburn, AL, United States.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule known to modulate various physiological processes, with specific implications in skeletal muscle and broader applications in exercise performance. This review focuses on the modulation of skeletal muscle function, mitochondrial adaptation and function, redox state by NO, and the effect of nitrate supplementation on exercise performance. In skeletal muscle function, NO is believed to increase the maximal shortening velocity and peak power output of muscle fibers.

Introduction: Various reports have confirmed that low skeletal muscle mass, a proxy marker of sarcopenia, can be a risk factor for surgical and oncological outcomes in colon cancer. We aimed to investigate the effects of skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) on postoperative complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS) in older patients with colon cancer who underwent elective curative colon resections.
Materials And Methods: Patients over 65 years old with stage I-III colon cancer who underwent elective curative colon resections between January 2015 and December 2023 were included in this single-center retrospective longitudinal study.
Relationship between insertions of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus and first tarsometatarsal joint degeneration.

Background: The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships of the tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) and peroneus longus tendon (PLT) with articular cartilage degeneration on the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal.
Methods: We examined 100 feet from 50 Japanese cadavers. The TAT was classified into 4 types based on attachment site area and number of fiber bundles: Type I, two fiber bundles with equal (within 20%) attachment site areas on the first metatarsal and medial cuneiform; Type II, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the medial cuneiform than on the first metatarsal; Type III, with two fiber bundles and a larger (>20%) attachment site area on the first metatarsal than on the medial cuneiform; and Type IV, with three fiber bundles.

Background: Osteoporosis and sarcopenia frequently occur in patients with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis (HD), and depression is also a common mental health issue in this population. Despite the prevalence of these conditions, the interrelationships among them remain poorly understood in HD patients.
Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional study, 858 HD patients from 7 dialysis centers were recruited.

Regular physical activity (PA) is beneficial for cognitive health, and cathepsin B (CTSB) - a protease released by skeletal muscle during PA - acts as a potential molecular mediator of this association. PA-induced metabolic and mechanical stress appears to increase plasma/serum CTSB levels. CTSB facilitates neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity in brain regions (e.
