why is the whippet so oversized
He has a myostatin deficicency . Myostatin halts satellite cells and thereby controls muscle hypertrophy. myonucleillite cells go unchecked, they continue to multiply, become new myonuclei which results in increased protein synthesis (muscle hypertrophy)
unlike most types of cells muscle fibers contain many of these
nucleus
“building blocks of protein”
amino acids
copying part of a strand of DNA
transcription
a molecule that encodes your genes
DNA
making protein from a message from your nucleus
translation
the molecule that delivers this message
mRNA
events in protein synthesis in order
exercise activates a gene sequence on DNA
mRNA copies a message from DNA
Transcription
mRNA leaves the nucleus
amino acids match up with mRNA
translation
phenotype is changed
a protein is degraded
what type of protein is synthesized from
strength training
contractile
what type of protein is synthesized in
endurance training
mitochondria = oxidative enzymes
true or false
as one ages the decrease in muscle fiber area is greater than the decrease in muscle fiber #
false
decreases fiber area 20-30% fiber # decrease 48%
true or false
slow twitch muscle fiber area decreases with age
false
slow twitch maintains
true or false
fast twitch muscle fiber area decrease with age
false
starts decreasing at age 15
true or false
fibre # dont start decreasing until approx 20-25 years of age
false
start decreasing at age 15
true or false
fiber area shows most decline after the age of 70
true
which type of muscle contraction can generate the most force
eccentric
concentric
isometric
eccentric
isokinetic
constant velocity
isotonic
constant force
