Muscles of the hip Muscles of the hip In human anatomy, the muscles of the hip joint are those muscles that cause movement in the hip. Most modern anatomists define 17 of these muscles, although some additional muscles may sometimes be considered. These are often divided into four groups according to their orientation around the hip joint: the gluteal group, the lateral rotator group, the adductor group, and the iliopsoas group. The muscles of the hip consist of four main groups The gluteal muscles include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae. They cover the lateral surface of the ilium.
Collagen, type VI, alpha 3 patient fibroblast cells using siRNA has successfully improved cellular deposition of type VI collagen in autosomal dominant UCMD, and may become a promising treatment for it. Though high expression levels of COL6A3 have been correlated with obesity and diabetes in mice, this relationship was not observed in humans. Other disorders involving muscle and connective tissue include weakness, joint laxity and contractures, and abnormal skin. Collagen, type VI, alpha 3 Collagen alpha-3(VI) chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the "COL6A3" gene. This protein is an alpha chain of type VI collagen that aids in microfibril formation. As
