Prevalence, Characteristics, and Prognostic Associations of Cachexia Diagnosed Using Asian Working Group for Cachexia 2023 Criteria in Older Adults With Heart Failure.

Few studies have examined the characteristics of heart failure (HF) patients with cachexia using the Asian Working Group for Cachexia (AWGC) 2023 criteria. This study assessed the characteristics and clinical impact of cachexia in older adults with HF. Results of...

Associations between sarcopenic, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity and metabolic syndrome in adults aged 45ย Years or older: A prospective cohort study from the China health and retirement longitudinal study.

Although previous studies have reported associations between sarcopenic obesity (SO) and metabolic syndrome (MetS), the findings remain inconsistent. This study aimed to investigate the associations between sarcopenia, obesity, and MetS, and to determine whether sarcopenic obesity synergistically increases the risk...

Distinct gut microbiota signatures in older people with sarcopenic obesity and sarcopenia without obesity.

Previous evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis plays an important role in the development and progression of sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity (SO), but evidence supporting this association is lacking. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of gut microbiota in...

INFLAMMATION IN CANCER CACHEXIA: STILL THE CENTRAL TENET OR JUST ANOTHER PLAYER?

Cancer cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome characterised by body weight loss, muscle and adipose tissue wasting, affects cancer patients. Over time, the definition of cachexia has been modified, including inflammation as one of the main causal factors. Evidences have suggested that...

GL261 glioblastoma induces delayed body weight gain and stunted skeletal muscle growth in young mice.

The survival rate for children and adolescents has increased to over 85%. However, there is limited understanding of the impact of pediatric cancers on muscle development and physiology. Given that brain tumors alone account for 26% of all pediatric cancers,...

Melatonin and Exercise Restore Myogenesis and Mitochondrial Dynamics Deficits Associated With Sarcopenia in iMS-Bmal1 Mice.

Sarcopenia, a condition associated with aging, involves progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to impaired mobility, health, and increased mortality. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, which limits the development of effective therapeutic interventions. Emerging evidence implicates chronodisruption...

Comprehensive Evaluation of Frailty and Sarcopenia Markers to Predict Survival in Glioblastoma Patients.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults. Patients with GBM are particularly susceptible to moderate-to-high frail. Frailty status has been associated with the outcome of many types of cancer, including GBM, although there is still...

Transcriptional Intermediary Factor 1ฮณ-Induced Irisin in Skeletal Muscle Attenuates Renal Fibrosis in Diabetic Nephropathy.

Transcriptional intermediary factor 1ฮณ (TIF1ฮณ) is a negative regulator of TGF-ฮฒ1 signalling and has been associated with patient survival in renal cell carcinoma. However, its role in diabetes mellitus (DM), particularly in diabetic nephropathy (DN), remains unclear. DN is the...

Nutritional Status Predicts Functional Recovery and Adverse Outcomes in Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Despite the high prevalence of malnutrition in acutely ill older patients, nutritional status is rarely assessed in emergency departments (EDs), and the impact of nutritional risk screening on functional recovery is poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the association...

HD6277 Suppresses Muscle Atrophy by Promoting Myogenic Factors and Inhibiting Proteolysis in Aged Mice.

G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) acts as a modulator of various physiological functions, including glycaemic lowering, anti-inflammation and antioxidative stress, in several tissues. However, the role of GPR40 in skeletal muscles remains unclear. To investigate the roles of muscle GPR40,...

Association of Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Mass Index and Insulin Resistance With Mortality in Multi-Nationwide Cohorts.

Although sarcopenia and insulin resistance are closely related, there is limited evidence regarding how they interact to influence mortality across different population groups. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between skeletal muscle mass and insulin resistance...
