Association of Alzheimer's Disease Blood Biomarkers With Sarcopenia Incidence and Progression: A 12-Year Population-Based Study.

Sarcopenia is a complex and multifactorial condition, and recent studies have explored the role of neurological markers in its diagnosis and prediction. Although associations have been identified between reduced muscle strength, slow walking speed and elevated neurofilament levels (NfL), long-term...

Anti-CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies Counteract Establishment of Food Aversive Memories and Chemotherapy-induced Anorexia and Weight Loss.

Glutamatergic neurons of external lateral parabrachial nucleus co-expressing calcitonin gene related peptide (elPB CGRP) negatively regulate food intake and establish food aversive memories. They also promote malaise-dependent anorexia, sickness behavior and tumor cachexia. In spite of the pathogenetic potential of...

Sarcopenia in Ageing and Chronic Illness: Trial Endpoints and Regulatory Issues.

In December 2024, the Society on Cachexia and Wasting Disorders (SCWD) hosted a Regulatory and Trial Update Workshop in Washington, D.C., bringing together experts from academia, industry, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This article summarizes key topics...

Ageing Signatures and Disturbed Muscle Regeneration in Muscle Proteome of Inclusion Body Myositis.

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is the most common acquired myopathy in adults over the age of 50โ€‰years, characterised by inflammatory and degenerative features that lead to progressive muscle weakness and physical disability for lack of effective therapies. The complex interplay...

Umbelliferone attenuates diabetic sarcopenia by modulating mitochondrial quality and the ubiquitin-proteasome system.

Sarcopenia, characterized by the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, is traditionally associated with aging. However, chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been recognized as key accelerators of its progression. In this...

Association Between Waist-to-Height Ratio Estimated Fat Mass Categories and Incident Fractures.

Although obesity is a well-known risk factor for various metabolic disorders, its impact on fracture risk remains uncertain. The inconsistency in findings may be due to the fact that most studies have relied solely on body mass index (BMI) as...

Sarcopenia, Muscle Mass and Protein Intake in Adults Older Than 65โ€‰Years After Earlier Bariatric Surgery.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) is a proven treatment for obesity. Yet weight loss is accompanied by loss of muscle which may predispose to sarcopenia. The prevalence of low muscle mass in older adults after MBS remains unexplored, even though...

Quantification of Skeletal Muscle at the First Lumbar Level for Prognosis in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

Skeletal muscle parameters at the first lumbar vertebra (L1) level on computed tomography (CT) are common indicators for muscle mass. However, their relationship with the severity and prognosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients remains unclear. This cohort study included...

Risks of All-Cause Mortality in Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease With Sarcopenia or Obesity: A Population-Based Study.

The relationship between obesity, sarcopenic obesity and all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients remains controversial. This study aims to investigate the role of low muscle mass and fat mass in the risk of all-cause mortality in CKD patients...

Transcriptomic Signature of Frailty in Older Patients With Cardiovascular Disease Undergoing Cardiac Surgery or TAVI.

Deterioration of functional capacity mostly determinates frailty in older patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Elucidating the pathophysiological mechanisms of physical frailty is an important goal for improving functional health-related outcomes. Our objective was the determination of the transcriptomic signature of...

A Novel ceRNA Axis LOC121818100/Novel-miR-400/SSRP1 Regulated Muscle Growth and Injury Repair in Sheep.

In mammals, skeletal muscle growth is a delicate process. The construction of competitive endogenous RNA (ceRNA) networks provides an effective way to analyse the molecular mechanism of complex trait formation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role...

Haptoglobin and Glutamine Synthetase May Biomark Cachexia Induced by Antiacute Myeloid Leukaemia Chemotherapy.

Anticancer chemotherapy is an underappreciated contributor to cancer cachexia, an often-irreversible body-wasting condition that causes 20%-30% of cancer-related deaths. An obstacle to predicting, monitoring and understanding the mechanisms underlying chemotherapy cachexia is that each cancer (and subtype) is assigned different...

Early Detection of Age-Related Decline of Muscle Cell Mass by Intracellular Water Assessment Compared With MRI or DXA.

Ageing is commonly associated with a decrease in muscle strength, which is largely linked to decreases in skeletal muscle mass (SMM). The rate of the age-related decline in muscle strength is different from the rate of the age-related decline in...

Moderation Effect of Handgrip Strength on Cognition and Functional Independence Associations in Adults Over 90โ€‰Years.

The causal relationship between cognitive impairment and functional decline seems bidirectional in older adults. This study aimed to determine the moderating effect of handgrip strength on the relationship between cognition and functional independence among Brazilian nonagenarians and centenarians.
