Exogenous Nucleotides Supplementation Attenuates Age-Related Sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia, an age-related clinical syndrome characterized by reduced skeletal muscle mass and strength, often leads to a loss of physical function. Nucleotides (NTs) supplementation is a potential strategy for preventing age-related sarcopenia as evidence suggests that NTs declined in muscles...

B0092 tumor-bearing mice are a new model for the study of cachexia in head and neck cancer.

Introduction: Head and neck cancer (HNC) accounts for ~4% of all cancers but causes ~15,000 deaths annually in the U.S. Over 40% of HNC patients present with cachexia, a severe comorbidity associated with skeletal muscle defects, worsened treatment response, and...

Histidine decarboxylase inhibition attenuates cancer-associated muscle wasting.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome involving muscle and fat wasting, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction. Across cancer subtypes, pancreatic cancer has one of the highest cachexia incidence rates at โˆผ80%. Given the advanced age of most pancreatic cancer patients, we...

MyoMed205 Counteracts Titin Hyperphosphorylation and the Expression of Contraction-Regulating Proteins in a Rat Model of HFpEF.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with exercise intolerance, accompanied by alterations in the peripheral skeletal muscle (SKM). We have recently shown that titin, a giant sarcomere protein, is hyperphosphorylated in HFpEF. MuRF1 is a muscle-specific ubiquitin...

A 10-Year Longitudinal Study of Muscle Morphology and Performance in Masters Sprinters.

Both longitudinal and cross-sectional studies have demonstrated that muscle mass, strength and power are lost with ageing. Although longitudinal studies have shown changes in muscle morphology and function in sedentary, healthy active and endurance-trained older people, less is known about...

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...

Assessing sarcopenia: The JOHAS (Judgment of Objective Hyper-steatosis and Atrophy in Sarcopenia) index as a pragmatic surrogate for skeletal muscle index by bioimpedance analysis.

The aim of this study was to develop a new, less cumbersome index for determining sarcopenia using axial slice images from computed tomography (CT) as a surrogate for the skeletal muscle index (SMI) measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). We...

Acute Sarcopenia: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Its Incidence and Muscle Parameter Shifts During Hospitalisation.

Acute sarcopenia is sarcopenia lasting less than 6โ€‰months, typically following acute illness or injury. It may impact patient recovery and quality of life, advancing to chronic sarcopenia. However, its development and assessment remain poorly understood, particularly during hospitalisation. This systematic...

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...

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...

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...

KLF10: a point of convergence in cancer cachexia.

Cancer-associated cachexia is a wasting syndrome entailing loss in body mass and a shortened life expectancy. There is currently no effective treatment to abrogate this syndrome, which leads to 20-30% of deaths in patients with cancer. While there have been...
