A new discovery may explain why so many people abandon cholesterol-lowering statins because of muscle pain and weakness.

Mutations in a calcium ion channel anoctamin 5 (ANO5), commonly found in muscle cells, cause the debilitating disease called limb girdle muscular dystrophy 2L (LGMD2L). Characterized by progressive ...

Q: My shoulder has been hurting so my doctor ordered an X-ray. This showed calcium buildup, and she said that was causing the pain. What is this from? A: It seems you are describing calcific ...

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without affecting depolarization-induced calcium release. The ...

New research has identified the specific biological mechanism behind the muscle dysfunction found in myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and further shows that calcium channel blockers can reverse these ...

Casein protein helps muscle growth and recovery, especially with resistance training. One serving of casein protein powder provides about 45% of your daily calcium needs. Consuming too much casein ...
