PPAR <gamma> as a molecular target of EPA anti-inflammatory activity during TNF-<alpha>-impaired skeletal muscle cell differentiation (2012)
Journal Article
Magee, P., Pearson, S., Whittingham-Dowd, J., & Allen, J. (2012). PPAR as a molecular target of EPA anti-inflammatory activity during TNF--impaired skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 23(11), 1440-1448. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jnutbio.2011.09.005

Activated skeletal muscle satellite cells facilitate muscle repair or growth through proliferation, differentiation and fusion into new or existing myotubes. Elevated levels of the proinflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) impair this...

The omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), prevents the damaging effects of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha during murine skeletal muscle cell differentiation (2008)
Journal Article
Magee, P., Pearson, S., & Allen, J. (2008). The omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), prevents the damaging effects of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha during murine skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Lipids in Health and Disease, 7(1), 24. https://doi.org/10.1186/1476-511X-7-24

Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is a -3 polyunsaturated fatty acid with antiinflammatory and anti-cachetic properties that may have potential benefits with regards to skeletal muscle atrophy conditions where inflammation is present. It is al...

Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics. (2005)
Journal Article
Pearson, S., & Onambele, G. (2005). Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics. Chronobiology International, 22(6), 1013-1027. https://doi.org/10.1080/07420520500397900

The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between quadriceps torque, vastus lateralis pennation angle (theta), and patella tendon stiffness (K) at 07:45 and 17:45 h. Using short-duration static contractions, simultaneous recording... Read More about Acute changes in knee-extensors torque, fiber pennation, and tendon characteristics..
