Risk of Sarcopenia Following Long-Term Statin Use in Community-Dwelling Middle-Aged and Older Adults in Japan.

Inconsistent results have been reported concerning the association between statin administration and muscle health, specifically its potential to increase the risk of sarcopenia. Given the widespread long-term use of statins among the elderly population, the exploration of this association remains...

Glomerular Filtration of Creatinine: Validation of a Novel Index of Muscle Mass Among Older Adults.

Low muscle mass is common among older adults and associated with poor prognosis. Quantifying muscle mass is challenging in routine clinical practice. We hypothesized that glomerular filtration of creatinine (GFcr) reflects muscle mass, and previously proposed estimated GFcr (eGFcr), as...

Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide ameliorates skeletal muscle aging and mitochondrial dysfunction via PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Sarcopenia is currently a life-threatening disease for the elderly. Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide (PSP) has anti-oxidative stress and anti-inflammatory effects. However, the effects of PSP on skeletal muscle aging, myoblast differentiation and mitochondrial dysfunction through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway has not been...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...

Pauca verba on the association between protein intake and sarcopenia in older adults.

Sarcopenia is a prevalent neuromuscular condition among older adults, marked by significant reductions in muscle mass and strength, which result in notable impairments in physical performance. Modifications in lifestyle habits have been frequently highlighted as essential approaches to mitigate the...

Feature Engineering for the Prediction of Scoliosis in 5q-Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

5q-Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is now one of the 5% treatable rare diseases worldwide. As disease-modifying therapies alter disease progression and patient phenotypes, paediatricians and consulting disciplines face new unknowns in their treatment decisions. Conclusions made from historical patient data...

Bifidobacterium animalis Probio-M8 improves sarcopenia physical performance by mitigating creatine restrictions imposed by microbial metabolites.

Sarcopenia is a major health challenge due to an aging population. Probiotics may improve muscle function through gut-muscle axis, but their efficacy and mechanisms in treating sarcopenia remain unclear. This study investigated the impact of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis Probio-M8...

Reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle injury, fatigue, regeneration and ageing: In memory of John Faulkner.

One of the most critical factors impacting healthspan in the elderly is the loss of muscle mass and function, clinically referred to as sarcopenia. Muscle atrophy and weakness lead to loss of mobility, increased risk of injury, metabolic changes and...

Melatonin ameliorates age-related sarcopenia by inhibiting fibrogenic conversion of satellite cell.

The fibrogenic conversion of satellite cells contributes to the atrophy and fibrosis of skeletal muscle, playing a significant role in the pathogenesis of age-related sarcopenia. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, exhibits anti-aging and anti-fibrotic effects in various...
