Boulianne and King (1998) observed that excessively dark breast muscle meat exhibited greater total haem pigment and myoglobin contents (1.47 and 0.16 mg/g) as compared to the normal breast muscle meat (0.96 and 0.12 mg/g); hence it is concluded that there is a strong relationship between lightness values and heme percentage.

Serum 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), myoglobin, and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) levels were measured using kits based on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle.

Considering that these flightless birds spend the majority of their time walking, it makes sense that they store more myoglobin in the very muscles that power them around, right?

Several conventional approaches such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) [14, 5], chromatography [16-9], electrochemical sensors [20-24], and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors [25-27] were applied for the detection of myoglobin. Most of these approaches show high sensitivity towards myoglobin.

Because of severe traumatic rhabdomyolysis with renal failure we performed three cycles of hemoadsorption using a Cytosorb hemoadsorber with the intention to remove myoglobin and maintain the renal function.

Damage can be caused by toxins, contrast, drugs, myoglobin, and others (Table 1).

On the basis of the metabolism capacity of skeletal muscle, muscle fibers are characterized as oxidative (type I, red muscle) or glycolytic (type II, white muscle) and this is closely related to myoglobin concentration [10].

However, the role of TLR4/NF-?B in rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI is unclear, in addition to whether or not myoglobin activates the macrophage TLR4/NF-?B pathway.

Plasma levels of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, creatine kinase (CK) activity, creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), myoglobin (MGB), and troponin, as markers of muscle damage, were assessed by Siemens autoanalyzers (ADVIA 1800 and Centaur XP Siemens, Healthcare Diagnostics, Germany) using the appropriate reagent kit of the same company (Siemens, Healthcare Diagnostics, Germany).

The text reading "Several studies reported that one night of sleep deprivation can result in metabolic irregularities, such as decreased plasma lactate concentration as well as increased creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin levels, after a bout of exercise the following morning [55,56]" should be corrected to "Several studies reported that one night of sleep deprivation can result in metabolic irregularities, such as decreased plasma lactate concentration as well as increased creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin levels, after a bout of exercise the following evening [55, 56]."
