Nutritional Muscular Dystrophy (Nutritional Myopathy or White Muscle Disease) is a disease caused by a deficiency of selenium and vitamin E in dietary intake. [1] Soils that contains low levels of selenium produce forages and grains that are deficient in selenium.

Double-muscled cattle are breeds of cattle that carry one of seven known mutations that limits and reduces the activity of the myostatin protein. Normally, myostatin limits the number of muscle fibers present at birth, and interfering with activity of this protein causes animals to be born with higher numbers of muscle fibers, consequently augmenting muscle growth.
[1] [20] However, a minority of metabolic myopathies have fixed muscular weakness rather than exercise intolerance, imitating an inflammatory myopathy or limb girdle muscular dystrophy. It is uncommon that both static and dynamic signs predominate.
A new study suggests that diets high in fast food, processed red meat, and soda but low in fruits and vegetables may be linked to faster biological aging.
Piedmontese cattle carry a unique gene mutation identified as an inactive myostatin allele that causes hypertrophic muscle growth, or double muscling. Purebred Piedmontese cattle are homozygous, meaning they have two identical alleles present for this unique gene. They have garnered attention from breeders of beef cattle in other parts of the ...
Clinical trials for muscular dystrophy have not proven successful in generating functional improvements compared to placebo. Gains of muscle mass were small to non-existent in this population. [ 13 ] Research is ongoing on the potential use of myostatin inhibitors for motor neuron diseases like spinal muscle atrophy and amyotrophic lateral ...
Canned foods are packed with nutrition and come in handy to make meals happen when time is tight. Past research published in Nutrients found that diets higher in nutrient-dense canned foods (in ...
