    • Altered ROS production, NF-κB activation and interleukin-6 gene expression induced by electrical stimulation ... 
      Henríquez Olguín, Carlos; Altamirano, Francisco; Valladares, Denisse; López, José R.; Allen, Paul D.; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique (Elsevier, 2015)
      Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a fatal X-linked genetic disease, caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, which cause functional loss of this protein. This pathology is associated with an increased production of reactive ...
    • Elevation of NO Increases Ca2+ Entry and Resting Ca2+ and Na+ Concentrations in Skeletal Muscle Cells 
      Robin, Gaelle; Altamirano, Francisco; Zhang, Rui; Jaimovich Pérez, Enrique; Allen, Paul D.; López, José R. (Cell Press, 2015)
      Protein S-nitrosylation is a reversible post-translational modification and can have profound effects on protein function in skeletal muscle. S-nitrosylation has been proposed to exert regulatory effects on ion channels ...
    • Heart and Skeletal Muscle Are Targets of Dengue Virus Infection 
      Salgado, Doris Martha; Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Mansfield, Keith; Panqueba, César; Castro, Dolly; Vega, Martha Rocío; Xhaja, Kris; Schmidt, Diane; Martin, Katherine J.; Allen, Paul D.; Rodríguez, Jairo Antonio; Dinsmore, Jonathan H.; López, José Rafael; Bosch, Irene (2010-03)
      Background—Dengue fever is one of the most significant re-emerging tropical diseases, despite our expanding knowledge of the disease, viral tropism is still not known to target heart tissues or muscle. Methods—A prospective ...
    • RyR1-mediated Ca2+ Leak and Ca2+ Entry Determine Resting Intracellular Ca2+ in Skeletal Myotubes 
      Eltit Ortega, José Miguel; Yang, Tianzhong; Li, Hongli; Molinski, Tadeusz F.; Pessah, Isaac N.; Allen, Paul D.; López, José R. (American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 2010-04-30)
      The control of resting free Ca2+ in skeletal muscle is thought to be a balance of channels, pumps, and exchangers in both the sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum. We explored these mechanisms using pharmacologic and ...
