Syllabus
Development of skeletal muscle and heart
Skeletal muscle structure, functions and phenotype plasticity
Metabolism, muscle wasting and hypertrophy signalling
Skeletal muscle regeneration
Cardiomyocyte structure and adaptive ultrastructural changes
Cardiac function and pathologies
Adaptive responses to exercise hypoxia, thermal extremes and pathological states
Annotation
This is a three-day course in muscle physiology using an interactive approach and practical demonstrations. Participants will get advanced knowledge in skeletal and cardiac muscle ultra/structure, phenotype and function, metabolism, and effects of hormonal signaling on muscle wasting and growth.
Using specific examples, we will learn about adaptive mechanisms under physiological conditions and pathological states.
