Journal ArticleDOI
Preserved skeletal muscle protein anabolic response to acute exercise and protein intake in well-treated rheumatoid arthritis patients
Ulla Ramer Mikkelsen,Ulla Ramer Mikkelsen,Kasper Dideriksen,Mads Bisgaard Andersen,Anders Ploug Boesen,Nikolai Mølkjær Malmgaard-Clausen,Inge Juul Sørensen,Peter Schjerling,Michael Kjaer,Lars Holm +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that muscle protein synthesis rate and muscle gene expression can be stimulated by protein intake alone and in combination with physical exercise in patients with well-treated RA to a similar extent as in healthy individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunohistochemical changes in the expression of HSP27 in exercised human vastus lateralis muscle.
Mattias Folkesson,Abigail L. Mackey,Lars Holm,Michael Kjaer,Gøran Paulsen,Truls Raastad,Jan Henriksson,Fawzi Kadi +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of immunohistochemical changes in HSP27 expression in human vastus lateralis muscle following resistance and endurance exercises found them to be related to adaptive process of skeletal muscle to exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
No inflammatory gene-expression response to acute exercise in human Achilles tendinopathy.
Jessica Pingel,Ulrich Fredberg,Lone Ramer Mikkelsen,Peter Schjerling,Katja M. Heinemeier,Michael Kjaer,Adrian Harisson,Henning Langberg +7 more
TL;DR: Whether inflammatory signalling responses after acute mechanical loading were more pronounced in tendinopathic versus healthy regions of human tendon and if treatment with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAID’s) reduces this response is elucidated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accuracy of MRI technique in measuring tendon cross-sectional area.
Christian Couppé,Rene B. Svensson,V. Sødring‐Elbrønd,Philip Hansen,Michael Kjaer,Stig Peter Magnusson +5 more
TL;DR: Data show that measuring tendon CSA on the grey‐scale MRI images is associated with an underestimation, but by optimizing the measurement using a 3 tesla MRI and the appropriate NIH colour scale, this underestimation could be reduced to 2.8% compared with the direct measurements on the mould.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticosteroid administration alters the mechanical properties of isolated collagen fascicles in rat-tail tendon.
TL;DR: Corticosteroid administration significantly reduced tensile fascicle yield strength and Young's modulus by 14% compared with sham treatment, while the strain properties were unaffected and Peak stress was similar between the two groups.
