Muscle exercise

Myasthenia gravis Quinolones may exacerbate the signs of myasthenia gravis and lead to life-threatening weakness of the respiratory muscles. Exercise caution when using quinolones in patients with myasthenia gravis. 

In athletes involved in explosive/in tense muscle exercise, it is likely that the raised camosine levels are required as physiological buffers. Hence it is possible that raising camosine levels may improve muscle performance by increasing buffer capacity. In an attempt to increase camosine levels by dietary means, but circumventing the effects of serum camosinase, increasing p-alanine intake has been investigated...

PELVIC TONING EXERCISES Exercises that focus on tightening the muscles of the pelvic floor to relieve urinary stress incontinence. Also known as Kegel or PC muscle exercises. 

Data suggest that extensive physical exercise may increase blood plasma TAC. Long-term effects of systematic physical exercise are, however, controversial. Sub-maximal exercise (30 min) was reported not to alter blood plasma TAC significantly (A7). TAC of blood plasma was reported to increase immediately after a marathon run (by 25%) and this increase persisted 4 days later (by 12%) (L19). Similar effects (increase by 19%) were noted after a half-marathon (C29). Another study reported an increase in blood serum TAC by 22% during a 31-km run and by 16% during a marathon (V10). TAC of blood plasma was increased by 25% after a maximum aerobic exercise test and by 9% after a nonaerobic isometric exercise test (A8). Eccentric muscle exercise (70 maximal voluntary eccentric muscle actions on an isokinetic dynamometer, using the knee extensors of a single leg) did not affect blood serum TAC (C27). In another study, TAC increased after exhaustive aerobic (by 25%) and nonaerobic isometric exercise (by 9%) (A8).

The intravenous route of administration is nearly instantaneously absorbed. The intramuscular route of administration has slower absorption depending on the amount of blood vessels at the injection site. Subcutaneous tissue injection sites have a slower absorption rate than muscles. Exercise slows absorption because circulation is diverted from the stomach to other areas of the body... 

Patients with this rare type have deposits of abnormal glycogen in muscle. Exercise intolerance, unresponsiveness to glucose administration, and hemolysis (caused by decreased glycolysis in erythrocytes) are noted clinically, producing hyperbilirubinemia, pigmenturia, and reticulocytosis. The specific enzyme defect can be demonstrated. 

Spectral Analysis. - A new method of analysis of ATP utilisation and resynthesis has been developed which simulates cellular ATP flux, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and creatine kinase kinetics. The model was used to examine previously published P NMR data of changes in PCr and Pi in resting muscle, muscle exercising during ischaemia and muscle in aerobic recovery. The model allowed estimation of the maximal velocity of oxidative...
