Pathways Contributing to Chemotherapy-Induced Myotoxicity Are Attenuated by EPAโ€‰+โ€‰DHA in a Clinically Relevant Model of Colorectal Cancer.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Skeletal muscle loss is a well-recognized consequence of cancer, and chemotherapy exacerbates myotoxicity through multiple mechanisms. Retaining muscle mass improves tumour response to therapies and tolerance to chemotherapy; hence, interventions to mitigate myotoxicity warrant investigations. This study aimed to investigate...

CircGLIS3 Inhibits Intramuscular Adipogenesis and Alleviates Skeletal Muscle Fat Infiltration.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key determinant of meat quality. Excessive IMF deposition, commonly observed in human obesity and aging, negatively affects skeletal muscle function. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play critical regulatory roles in muscle and fat development, as well as...

Oral apigenin prevents obesity-related muscular atrophy, but not obesity itself, in middle-aged rats fed a high-calorie diet.

Obesity constitutes a growing global health concern, affecting individuals during the aging process. Flavonoids that increase tissue NAD+โ€ฏlevels, such as apigenin (Api), are proposed for the treatment of obesity and age-related diseases. Thus, this study aimed to provide initial preclinical...

Severe Dietary Energy Restriction for Compensated Cirrhosis Due to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

Compensated cirrhosis due to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (CC-MASLD) increases morbidity and mortality risk but has no aetiology-specific treatment. We investigated the safety and efficacy signals of severe energy restriction. In this randomised controlled trial, adults with CC-MASLD and...

Prepregnancy Obesity Reprograms Offspring Skeletal Muscle Fibre Transition Through H3K9me3.

Maternal prepregnancy obesity predisposes offspring to obesity and metabolic disorders, yet its impact on skeletal muscle fibre transition remains unclear. Given that skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in systemic metabolism, we investigated how maternal prepregnancy high-fat diet (HFD) influences...

Low-Carbohydrate Diet Exacerbates Denervation-Induced Atrophy of Rat Skeletal Muscle Under the Condition of Identical Protein Intake.

While decreased protein intake is associated with muscle mass loss, it is unclear whether a decrease in carbohydrate intake adversely affects muscle atrophy independently of protein intake. Herein, we examined whether a low-carbohydrate (low-CHO) diet exacerbates denervation-induced muscle atrophy under...

Celecoxib Enhances Oxidative Muscle Fibre Formation and Improves Muscle Functions Through Prokr1 Activation in Mice.

Muscle diseases are serious challenges to human health. Prokineticin receptor 1 (PROKR1) has emerged as a potential target to improve muscle function through increasing oxidative muscle fibres, but there are no clinically applicable synthetic PROKR1 agonists. Drugs with biological properties...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Acetylation Mediating Muscle Dysfunction Contributes to Sleep Apnoea in Obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs frequently among individuals with obesity, which is attributed to upper airway muscle dysfunction. Muscle function is regulated by the dynamic balance of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its reduced form (NADH), which is controlled...

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...

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...

Nutrition in the prevention and treatment of skeletal muscle ageing and sarcopenia: a single nutrient, a whole food, and a whole diet approach.

Loss of skeletal muscle strength and mass (sarcopenia) is common in older adults and associated with an increased risk of disability, frailty, and premature death. Finding cost-effective prevention and treatment strategies for sarcopenia for the growing ageing population is therefore...

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...
