Skeletal muscles deteriorate after ovariectomy. Molecular pathway of this deterioration has not been defined. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha activation is assumed to trigger muscle atrophy and administration of its antagonist is hypothesized to recover this atrophy in rats. Slow-twitch soleus and fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus muscle functions were investigated in intact, ovariectomized (OVX), and OVX plus 10 mu g/g/week TNF-alpha antagonist administered female rats. Maximum isometric twitch and tetanic contraction responses were lower in the OVX groups. Maximum isometric twitch amplitudes recovered in the extensor digitorum longus but not in the soleus muscles after TNF-alpha antagonist administration. The decrease in responses to tetanic stimulations recovered in the OVX TNF group at frequencies higher than 20 Hz in both muscle types. OVX animals body weight was 21% higher than intact animals. Muscle weight to body weight ratios of the OVX groups were higher than the control group which recovered after TNF-alpha antagonist administration. Findings suggest that the functional loss in OVX rat muscles is TNF-alpha pathway dependent. Skeletal muscle atrophy and function after OVX recovered by TNF-alpha antagonist administration.

Does bilateral total knee arthroplasty affect gait in women? Comparison of gait analyses before and after total knee arthroplasty compared with normal knees Solak, AS; Kentel, B; Ates, Y (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) We performed gait analysis of 24 patients with bilateral knee osteoarthritis (OA) before, 1 year, and 2 years after bilateral total knee arthroplasty and compared these results to 12 normal controls. Cadence was significantly decreased in OA patients when compared with controls. Step and stride lengths were significantly different preoperatively (shorter) and postoperatively (P < .05), but postoperative results showed no significant difference when compared with normal controls ( P < .05). Step and stride t...
Impact of fibular torsion and rotation on chronic ankle instability Bozkurt, Murat; Apaydin, Nihal; Tönük, Ergin; Isik, Cetin; Cay, Nurdan; Kartal, Gulbiz; Acar, Halil Ibrahim; Tubbs, Shane R. (Elsevier BV, 2014-06-01) Background: The fibula is known not to involve in transmission of weight but known simply as an ankle stabilizer. However, its main function in stabilizing the ankle remains obscure. Since the fibula has an impact on torsion and rotation of the ankle, its effect on lateral ankle instability should be investigated.
Etiology of senile osteoporosis - A hypothesis Atik, O. Sahap; Uslu, M. Murad; Eksioglu, Fatih; Satana, Tolgay (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2006-02-01) Osteoporosis is a major health problem characterized by compromised bone strength predisposing patients to an increased risk of fracture. It may cause morbidity and mortality in elderly men and women. The etiologic factors that lead to senile osteoporosis still are unclear.
Possible interactions between antioxidant enzymes and free sialic acids in saliva: A preliminary study on elite judoists Cavas, L; Arpinar, P; Yurdakoc, K (Georg Thieme Verlag KG, 2005-12-01) Measurement of antioxidant enzyme activities is of great importance in the evaluation of oxidative stress in human metabolism. Sialic acids are also vital bio-markers for some diseases such as acute myocardial infarction and diabetes. In the present study, antioxidant enzyme activities (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px) and free sialic acid (FSA) levels in saliva were determined before and after training in the elite Turkish judoists (ETJ). According to the results, antioxidant enzyme activities in post-exercise values wer...
Surgical repair of cartilage defects of the patella Atik, OS; Korkusuz, Feza (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2001-08-01) The structure and biomechanical forces on the patellar joint challenges researchers to define an ideal method for resurfacing the patellar cartilage. The articular surface of the patella presents variability between individuals, and has various minor articulations that bear partial or total compressive, shear, and combined forces during movement. Surgical techniques for the repair of patellar cartilage defects have evolved from cumulative advances in basic science and technology. Such surgeries include the ...
