1. Functional and molecular responses to concurrent exercise of the arm extensors
University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskapAbstract : Aim As most concurrent exercise studies to date have focused on lower limb muscles, this study explored the acute response to concurrent exercise of the arm extensors. Specifically, the effects of a preceding bout of aerobic exercise on the subsequent molecular and functional response to resistance exercise was explored. READ MORE

2. The role of polymorphisms of the MSTN, GRIN2B and DOCK8 genes in the performance of pace-racing Icelandic horses
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : This study investigated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of three different genes with pace racing performance in the Icelandic horse. The SNPs chosen were PR3737, PR8604 and PR9482 of the Myostatin gene; SNPs g.41206762 C>T and g.41218272 T>C of the GRIN2B gene and SNP g. READ MORE

3. The role of Myostatin polymorphisms in the Finnhorse and Shetland pony breeds
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene, is a member of the transforming growth factor β that normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating both the number and growth of muscle fibers. Natural mutations that decrease the amounts of myostatin and/or inhibit its function have been identified in several cattle, sheep and dog breeds, where loss-of-function mutations cause increased skeletal muscle mass and produce a phenotype known as “double-muscling”.

4. The role of myostatin in Coldblooded trotter harness racing performance
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Myostatin (MSTN) är en gen som begränsar massan av skelettmuskler genom att reglera både antalet och tillväxten av muskelfibrer. Mutationer i den här genen resulterar i en dubbeltmusklad fenotyp noterad hos ett flertal boskapsraser, hundar och människor. READ MORE

5. Polymorphism in myostatin gene and athletic performance in Nordic horse breeds
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsAbstract : Athletic performance including working ability, riding, racing and endurance has played a leading role in horse breeding possibly since their domestication. Even though traits of athletic performance are considered as complex and dependant on environment, management and training, it has been shown that heritability of some performance traits can be considerably high.
