Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process that, in the presence of hyperlipidaemia, promotes the formation of atheromatous plaques in large vessels of the cardiovascular system. It also affects peripheral arteries with major implications for...

The effect of caloric restriction on the forelimb skeletal muscle fibers of the hypertrophic myostatin null mice (2017)
Journal Article
Elashry, M. I., Matsakas, A., Wenisch, S., Arnhold, S., & Patel, K. (2017). The effect of caloric restriction on the forelimb skeletal muscle fibers of the hypertrophic myostatin null mice. Acta Histochemica, 119(5), 582-591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.acthis.2017.06.002

Skeletal muscle mass loss has a broad impact on body performance and physical activity. Muscle wasting occurs due to genetic mutation as in muscular dystrophy, age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) as well as in chronic wasting disorders as in cancer...
