    • Changes in gene expression of the MCU complex are induced by electrical stimulation in adult skeletal muscle 
      Quezada Cornejo, Esteban; Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Casas Atala, Mariana (Frontiers Media, 2021)
      The slow calcium transient triggered by low-frequency electrical stimulation (ES) in adult muscle fibers and regulated by the extracellular ATP/IP3/IP3R pathway has been related to muscle plasticity. A regulation of muscular ...
    • Characterization of a multiprotein complex involved in excitation-transcription coupling of skeletal muscle 
      Arias Calderón, Manuel; Almarza, Gonzalo; Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Valladares Ide, Denisse; Casas Atala, Mariana; Toledo Araya, Héctor; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Buvinic Radic, Sonja (Biomed Central, 2016)
      Background: Electrical activity regulates the expression of skeletal muscle genes by a process known as “ excitation-transcription” (E-T) coupling. We have demonstrated that release of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) ...
    • Fibroblast growth factor-21 potentiates glucose transport in skeletal muscle fibers 
      Rosales Soto, Giovanni; Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Casas Atala, Mariana; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (Bioscientifica, 2020)
      Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a pleiotropic peptide hormone that is considered a myokine playing a role in a variety of endocrine functions, including regulation of glucose transport and lipid metabolism. Although ...
    • Is mitochondrial dysfunction a common root of noncommunicable chronic diseases? 
      Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Sánchez Aguilera, Pablo; Krycer, James R; Morales, Pablo E.; Monsalves Álvarez, Matías; Cifuentes Koster, Mariana; Rothermel, Beverly A.; Lavandero González, Sergio (Endocrine Society, 2020)
      Mitochondrial damage is implicated as a major contributing factor for a number of noncommunicable chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, obesity, and insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes. Here, we discuss ...
    • Mitochondrial calcium increase induced by RyR1 and IP3R channel activation after membrane depolarization ... 
      Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Córdova, A.; Valladares, Denisse; Llanos Vidal, Paola; Hidalgo, C.; Gherardi, Gaia; Stefani, Diego De; Mammucari, Cristina; Rizzuto, Rosario; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (Frontiers Media, 2018-06)
      Aim: We hypothesize that both type-1 ryanodine receptor (RyR1) and IP3-receptor (IP3R) calcium channels are necessary for the mitochondrial Ca2+ increase caused by membrane depolarization induced by potassium (or by ...
    • NOX2 Inhibition Impairs Early Muscle Gene Expression Induced by a Single Exercise Bout 
      Henríquez Olguín, Carlos; Díaz Vegas, Alexis; Utreras Mendoza, Yildy; Campos Acevedo, Cristian; Arias Calderón, Manuel; Llanos Vidal, Paola; Contreras Ferrat, Ariel Eduardo; Espinosa Escalona, Alejandra; Altamirano, Francisco; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Valladares Ide, Denisse (Frontiers Media, 2016)
      Reactive oxygen species (ROS) participate as signaling molecules in response to exercise in skeletal muscle. However, the source of ROS and the molecular mechanisms involved in these phenomena are still not completely ...
