Accelerated sarcopenia precedes learning and memory impairments in the P301S mouse model of tauopathies and Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) impairs cognitive functions and peripheral systems, including skeletal muscles. The PS19 mouse, expressing the human tau P301S mutation, shows cognitive and muscular pathologies, reflecting the central and peripheral atrophy seen in AD. We analysed skeletal muscle morphology...

Exploring the optimal indicator of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics to predict cancer survival: A multicentre cohort study.

Body weight and its changes have been associated with cancer outcomes. However, the associations of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics in standardized, clinically operational time frames with cancer survival remain largely unknown. This study aimed to screen for and evaluate the...

Lean body mass and the cardiorespiratory phenotype: An ethnic-specific relationship in Hans Chinese women and men.

Lean body mass (LBM) and the functional capacity of cardiovascular (CV) and respiratory systems constitute a female-specific relationship in European-American individuals. Whether this recent finding be extrapolated to the world's largest ethnic group, that is, Hans Chinese (HC, a population...

KLF13 restrains Dll4-muscular Notch2 axis to improve the muscle atrophy.

Muscle atrophy can cause muscle dysfunction and weakness. Krรผppel-like factor 13 (KLF13), a central regulator of cellular energy metabolism, is highly expressed in skeletal muscles and implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases. This study investigated the role of KLF13...

Free essential amino acid feeding improves endurance during resistance training via DRP1-dependent mitochondrial remodelling.

Loss of muscle strength and endurance with aging or in various conditions negatively affects quality of life. Resistance exercise training (RET) is the most powerful means to improve muscle mass and strength, but it does not generally lead to improvements...

Low skeletal muscle mass and treatment outcomes among adults with haematologic malignancies: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) and/or, function associated with an increased risk of treatment-related toxicities and inferior overall survival (OS) among adults with solid malignancies. However, the association between LSMM and treatment-related toxicities among adults with haematologic malignancies remains unclear....

Co-morbid sarcopenia and low bone mineral density in young paediatric cancer survivors.

Sarcopenia and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are prevalent musculoskeletal complications after paediatric cancer treatment. However, their relationship has not been examined in young paediatric cancers survivors. This study aimed to evaluate aBMD differences according to sarcopenia status and...

Glycative stress inhibits hypertrophy and impairs cell membrane integrity in overloaded mouse skeletal muscle.

Glycative stress, characterized by the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) associated with protein glycation reactions, has been implicated in inducing a decline of muscle function. Although the inverse correlation between glycative stress and muscle mass and...

Association of computed tomography-derived muscle mass and quality with delayed acquisition independent walking after cardiovascular surgery.

In the context of cardiovascular surgery, the foremost concern lies in delayed functional recovery, as typified by the acquisition of independent walking after surgery, among older patients with decline in skeletal muscle mass and quality. Computed tomography (CT), which is...

Hydrogen sulfide inhibits skeletal muscle ageing by up-regulating autophagy through promoting deubiquitination of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase ฮฑ1 via ubiquitin specific peptidase 5.

Hydrogen sulfide (HS), the third gasotransmitter discovered, regulates a variety of physiological functions. Whether HS alleviates skeletal muscle ageing by regulating autophagy has not been reported. Mice were administered 150ย mg/kg/day of D-galactose ( D-gal), and C2C12 myotubes were cultured in...

Leptin signalling altered in infantile nephropathic cystinosis-related bone disorder.

The CTNS gene mutation causes infantile nephropathic cystinosis (INC). Patients with INC develop Fanconi syndrome and chronic kidney disease (CKD) with significant bone deformations. C57BL/6 Ctns mice are an animal model for studying INC. Hyperleptinaemia results from the kidney's inability...

Meta-analysis on the interrelationship between sarcopenia and mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

Sarcopenia has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including cognitive dysfunction. However, its specific interrelationship with neurocognitive disorders such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other types of dementia has not been thoroughly explored.

Hepatic signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 signalling drives early-stage pancreatic cancer cachexia via suppressed ketogenesis.

Patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) often suffer from cachexia, a wasting syndrome that significantly reduces both quality of life and survival. Although advanced cachexia is associated with inflammatory signalling and elevated muscle catabolism, the early events driving wasting are...
