Component

Muscle satellite cells

Muscle satellite cells. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Satellite cells expressing NCAM and Pax7 increased 24 to 48 hours after exercise with active recovery, and numbers were greater after active recovery than after immersion, while phosphorylation of p70S6 kinase at Thr421/Ser424 increased after exercise in both conditions but was greater after active recovery.

    exposure
    10 minutes of cold water immersion after each training session, twice weekly for 12 weeks
    limitations
    A randomised training study with muscle biopsies. It measures long-term adaptation rather than acute recovery, which is why it can disagree with the soreness literature without contradicting it.
