Lewis M, Fournier M, Wang H, Storer T, Casaburi R, Kopple J
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2015 Jul; 119(8):865-71. PMID: 26183484
We previously reported reduced limb muscle fiber succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity and capillarity density and increased cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of all fiber types in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients compared with...

Bando J, Fournier M, Da X, Lewis M
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2011 Oct; 180(1):14-24. PMID: 22019487
Attenuation of muscle wasting has been reported with eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) use in cachectic states. Pathways mediating muscle proteolysis with severe short-term nutritional deprivation (ND)±EPA were evaluated, including diaphragm fiber-specific...

Lewis M, Fournier M, Wang H, Storer T, Casaburi R, Cohen A, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2011 Oct; 112(1):72-8. PMID: 22016372
Muscle weakness and effort intolerance are common in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. This study characterized morphometric, histochemical, and biochemical properties of limb muscle in MHD patients compared with controls (CTL)...

Chavoshan B, Fournier M, Lewis M, Porszasz J, Storer T, Da X, et al.
Respir Med . 2011 Aug; 106(2):269-75. PMID: 21843929
Background: Skeletal muscle dysfunction contributes to exercise limitation in COPD. The role of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) system in muscle dysfunction is ill defined. Reduced levels of endothelial NOS...

Mador M, Mogri M, Lewis M, Fournier M, Ray A, Michlin C, et al.
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2010 Jul; 173(1):16-22. PMID: 20621578
The purpose of this study was to determine whether hamsters with elastase-induced emphysema (EMP) would demonstrate a reduction in exercise capacity compared to control (CON) hamsters and whether changes in...

Cho J, Fournier M, Da X, Lewis M
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2009 Oct; 108(1):137-45. PMID: 19850732
Increased expression of forkhead box O (Foxo) transcription factors were reported in cultured myotubes and mouse limb muscle with corticosteroid (CS) treatment. We previously reported that administration of CS to...

Kopple J, Cohen A, Wang H, Qing D, Tang Z, Fournier M, et al.
J Ren Nutr . 2006 Oct; 16(4):312-24. PMID: 17046615
Objectives: Muscle mass and muscle mRNA levels for certain growth factors are reduced in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. This study tested the hypothesis that in MHD patients endurance exercise training...

Workeneh B, Rondon-Berrios H, Zhang L, Hu Z, Ayehu G, Ferrando A, et al.
J Am Soc Nephrol . 2006 Sep; 17(11):3233-9. PMID: 17005936
Muscle atrophy in catabolic illnesses is due largely to accelerated protein degradation. Unfortunately, methods for detecting accelerated muscle proteolysis are cumbersome. The goal of this study was to develop a...
