  2. Rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

    Rhabdomyolysis may cause kidney failure by several mechanisms. The most important is the accumulation of myoglobin in the kidney tubules. [10] [11] [13] Normally, the blood protein haptoglobin binds circulating myoglobin and other heme-containing substances, but in rhabdomyolysis the quantity of myoglobin exceeds the binding capacity of ...

  3. Myoglobin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobin

    The myoglobin is filtered by the kidneys, but is toxic to the renal tubular epithelium and so may cause acute kidney injury. [32] It is not the myoglobin itself that is toxic (it is a protoxin), but the ferrihemate portion that is dissociated from myoglobin in acidic environments (e.g., acidic urine, lysosomes). [citation needed]

  4. Myoglobinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobinuria

    Under ideal situations myoglobin will be filtered and excreted with the urine, but if too much myoglobin is released into the circulation or in case of kidney problems, it can occlude the kidneys' filtration system leading to acute tubular necrosis and acute kidney injury. Other causes of myoglobinuria include: McArdle's disease

  5. Exertional rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exertional_rhabdomyolysis

    Exertional rhabdomyolysis, the exercise-induced muscle breakdown that results in muscle pain/soreness, is commonly diagnosed using the urine myoglobin test accompanied by high levels of creatine kinase (CK). Myoglobin is the protein released into the bloodstream when skeletal muscle is broken down. The urine test simply examines whether ...

  7. Muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle

    In laboratory house mice, an intronic single nucleotide polymorphism in the Myosin heavy polypeptide 4 gene [10] causes a great reduction in the amount of Type IIb muscle, yielding the "Mini-Muscle" phenotype, which was discovered based on its greatly reduced (~50%) hind-limb muscle mass.

  8. Myostatin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myostatin

    A link in mice between the concentration of myostatin in the prenatal environment and the strength of offspring's bones, partially counteracting the effects of osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) has been found. [59] Osteogenesis imperfecta is due to a mutation that causes the production of abnormal Type I collagen.
