Impact of resistance training and chicken intake on vascular and muscle health in elderly women.

Resistance training is a well-known exercise therapy for preventing and improving lacks of muscle mass, strength, and quality with advances in age; however, its effects on arterial stiffness are not beneficial. Additionally, a higher intake of protein, which is an...

Sarcopenia Seems to Be Common in Older Patients With Restless Legs Syndrome.

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a disorder characterized by nocturnally exacerbating pain that leads to significant sleep disturbances. The hormonal and metabolic changes caused by sleep disruption may increase the incidence of muscle-related diseases like sarcopenia in older adults, which...

Lactobacillus paragasseri SBT2055 attenuates obesity via the adipose tissue-muscle-gut axis in obese mice.

The anti-obesity effects of Lactobacillus paragasseri (L. paragasseri) have been reported, but the exact mechanisms have not been elucidated. There are also no reports on the impact of L. paragasseri on the gut microbiota environment. Recently, the incidence of sarcopenia...

Targeting Metastasis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Follistatin mRNA Lipid Nanoparticles.

Metastatic progression significantly reduces survival rates and complicates treatment strategies in various cancers. Our study introduces an mRNA therapy for metastasis inhibition by targeting activin A overexpression, a pivotal driver of metastasis and cachexia. Utilizing follistatin mRNA lipid nanoparticles, we...

Distinctive Gait Variations and Neuroimaging Correlates in Alzheimer's Disease and Cerebral Small Vessel Disease.

Both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) manifest in cognitive impairment and gait disorders. The precise similarities and differences in gait characteristics and underlying neuroimaging mechanisms remain unclear. A total of 399 participants were enrolled: 132 with...

Exploring the Association between Sarcopenic Obesity and Cardiovascular Risk: A Summary of Findings from Longitudinal Studies and Potential Mechanisms.

It is estimated that more than one-tenth of adults aged โ‰ฅ60 years are now classified as having sarcopenic obesity (SO), a clinical condition characterized by the concurrent presence of sarcopenia (low muscle mass and weakness) and obesity (excessive fat mass)....

Muscle fibroblasts and stem cells stimulate motor neurons in an age and exercise-dependent manner.

Exercise preserves neuromuscular function in aging through unknown mechanisms. Skeletal muscle fibroblasts (FIB) and stem cells (MuSC) are abundant in skeletal muscle and reside close to neuromuscular junctions, but their relative roles in motor neuron maintenance remain undescribed. Using direct...

New horizons in hospital-associated deconditioning: a global condition of body and mind.

Hospital-associated deconditioning is a broad term, which refers non-specifically to declines in any function of the body secondary to hospitalisation. Older people, particularly those living with frailty, are known to be at greatest risk. It has historically been most commonly...

Short-chain fatty acids enhance muscle mass and function through the activation of mTOR signalling pathways in sarcopenic mice.

Sarcopenia is a prevalent muscle disorder in old people leading to higher fracture rate, mortality, and other adverse clinical outcomes. Evidence indicates that short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are beneficial gut microbial metabolites, were reduced in old people with sarcopenia....

Sucla2 Knock-Out in Skeletal Muscle Yields Mouse Model of Mitochondrial Myopathy With Muscle Type-Specific Phenotypes.

Pathogenic variants in subunits of succinyl-CoA synthetase (SCS) are associated with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy in humans. SCS catalyses the conversion of succinyl-CoA to succinate coupled with substrate-level phosphorylation of either ADP or GDP in the TCA cycle. This report presents a...

Short-Term Multicomponent Exercise Impact on Muscle Function and Structure in Hospitalized Older at Risk of Acute Sarcopenia.

Hospitalization exacerbates sarcopenia and physical dysfunction in older adults. Whether tailored inpatient exercise prevents acute sarcopenia is unknown. This study aimed to examine the effect of a multicomponent exercise programme on muscle and physical function in hospitalized older adults. We...

Integrative study of skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction in a murine pancreatic cancer-induced cachexia model.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common pancreatic cancer, is a deadly cancer, often diagnosed late and resistant to current therapies. PDAC patients are frequently affected by cachexia characterized by muscle mass and strength loss (sarcopenia) contributing to patient frailty...
