...Beau D. Reilly; Anthony J. R. Hickey; Rebecca L. Cramp; Craig E. Franklin Suppression of disuse-induced muscle atrophy has been associated with altered mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in mammals. However, despite extended hindlimb immobility, aestivating animals exhibit...

...J. A. Covi; B. D. Bader; E. S. Chang; D. L. Mykles SUMMARY In decapod crustaceans, claw muscle undergoes atrophy in response to elevated ecdysteroids while thoracic muscle undergoes atrophy in response to unweighting. The signaling pathways that regulate muscle atrophy in crustaceans are largely...

...H.-W. Kim; E. S. Chang; D. L. Mykles SUMMARY Crustacean muscle has four calpain-like proteinase activities (CDP I, IIa,IIb and III) that are involved in molt-induced claw muscle atrophy, as they degrade myofibrillar proteins in vitro and in situ . Using PCR cloning techniques, three full-length...
