Sarcopenia, Muscle Mass and Protein Intake in Adults Older Than 65 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 90 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. A cross-sectional...

Vitamin K2 Alleviates Insulin Resistance Associated Skeletal Muscle Atrophy via the AKT/mTOR Signalling Pathway.

Skeletal muscle atrophy and insulin resistance (IR) aggravate each other. Vitamin K2 (VK2) exhibits beneficial effects on IR, but whether it improves IR associated skeletal muscle atrophy remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of VK2 on...

Associations of Handgrip Strength and Testosterone With Cerebral White Matter Hyperintensity and Microstructural Injury.

White matter hyperintensity (WMH) is one of the key imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and white matter microstructural injury may occur earlier than WMH. However, the associations of handgrip strength (HGS) and serum total testosterone (STT) with...

Novel Aptamers Targeting Sclerostin Loop3 Improve Skeletal and Muscle Properties Without Adverse Cardiovascular Effects in Orchiectomized Mice.

The Wnt/β-catenin pathway and its bone-specific inhibitor, sclerostin, play important roles in skeletal development and homeostasis. The humanized sclerostin antibody, romosozumab, can significantly increase bone mineral density (BMD) of patients with osteoporosis, but it may also increase cardiovascular adverse events,...

Prediction of 10-Year Fragility Fractures Using Muscle Health Indicators in Postmenopausal Women: The OsteoLaus Cohort.

Muscle strength, mass and function have been associated with falls, fractures and mortality, but the results vary between previous studies. We aimed to investigate the predictive ability of muscle strength and mass with 10-year incident fragility fractures. This study included...
