Muscle fibers with higher oxidative capacity contain large mitochondria tightly packed with cristae as well as small forms of mitochondria containing relatively few cristae. The intensive development of the mitochondrial apparatus in the post-activity period reflects the adaptive processes, which is intended to supply the increased energy requirements of muscle fibers with higher oxidative capacity. Muscle fibers with low oxidative capacity contain significantly less mitochondria than fibers with higher capacity. It is typical to type IIB fibers that after intensive muscle activity there are damaged myofibrils in a relatively small area, some myofibrils are twisted and lose the connection with the neighboring structures. It is still not fully known how skeletal muscles with different oxidative capacity respond to an increased functional activity and what differences exist in these fibers between oxidative capacity and function of myofibrils. The aim of the present short review was to compare structural-functional changes in mitochondrial and myofibrillar compartments of heart and skeletal muscle fibers with different oxidative capacity and the effect of increased functional activity on the interaction of these compartments.展开更多

文摘The effects of the microwave combined with air convection thawing(MAT)on the gelling properties of pork myofibrillar proteins(MPs)were further studied and compared with those of fresh meat(FM),and single thawing methods(microwave thawing(MT)and air convection thawing(AT)).Results revealed that the thawing methods,excluding MAT,induced deterioration in the gelling properties of MPs.There was no significant difference(p>0.05)in the water holding capacity(WHC),cooking loss,whiteness,and strength of gel samples subjected to MAT and those of FM samples,demonstrating that the gelling properties were retained after MAT.As well,protein aggregation was limited,since MAT reduced the change in zeta potential and turbidity compared to that observed with MT or AT.The dynamic rheology and scanning electron microscopic results were relatively consistent,revealing that among the different thawing techniques,MAT had the least negative impact on the microstructure of MPs gel,leading to the generation of a more elastic and uniform gel structure than that of the MT or AT gels.Moreover,MAT resulted in higher water retention in the gels than that achieved with MT or AT.These findings indicated that MAT improved the gelling properties of MPs,thereby confirming the suitability of this treatment for use in the meat processing industry.
文摘Myofibrillar myopathies(MFMs)are rare genetic and slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders.Several pathogenic mutations have been reported in MFM-related genes including DES,CRYAB,MYOT,LDB3 or ZASP,FLNC,BAG3,FHL1 and DNAJB6.Although MFMs is commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner,the inheritance pattern and novel mutated genes are not thoroughly elucidated in some cases.Here,we report discovery of a novel nonsense mutation in a 29-year-old Iranian male patient with motor disorders and deformity in his lower limbs.His parents are second cousins.Hereditary Motor Sensory Neuropathy as initial genetic diagnosis was ruled out.Whole exome sequencing using NGS on Illumina Hi-Seq4000 platform was performed to identify the disease and possible mutated gene(s).Our data analysis identified a homozygous nonsense unreported c.C415T(p.R139X)variant on kyphoscoliosis peptidase(KY)gene(NM_178554:exon4).Sanger sequencing of this mutation has been performed for his other related family members.Sequencing and segregation analysis was confirmed the NGS results and autosomal recessive inheritance pattern of the disease.
