Anti-CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies Counteract Establishment of Food Aversive Memories and Chemotherapy-induced Anorexia and Weight Loss.

Glutamatergic neurons of external lateral parabrachial nucleus co-expressing calcitonin gene related peptide (elPB CGRP) negatively regulate food intake and establish food aversive memories. They also promote malaise-dependent anorexia, sickness behavior and tumor cachexia. In spite of the pathogenetic potential of...

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...

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...

ZBED6 Knockout Prevents Ageing- and Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy via Dkk3 in Pig and Mice.

Effective treatments for skeletal muscle atrophy, a debilitating condition linked to ageing and glucocorticoid therapy, remain lacking. Zinc finger BED-type containing 6 (ZBED6), a transcriptional repressor, enhances muscle growth and protects against sepsis-induced atrophy, but its role in ageing- and...

Integrated Multiomics Analyses of the Molecular Landscape of Sarcopenia in Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.

Skeletal muscle is a major target for ethanol-induced perturbations, leading to sarcopenia in alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). The complex interactions and pathways involved in adaptive and maladaptive responses to ethanol in skeletal muscle are not well understood. Unlike hypothesis-driven experiments,...

Hepatic gluconeogenesis and PDK3 upregulation drive cancer cachexia in flies and mice.

Cachexia, a severe wasting syndrome characterized by tumour-induced metabolic dysregulation, is a leading cause of death in people with cancer, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that a longitudinal full-body single-nuclei-resolution transcriptome analysis in a Drosophila...

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...

Melatonin and Exercise Restore Myogenesis and Mitochondrial Dynamics Deficits Associated With Sarcopenia in iMS-Bmal1 Mice.

Sarcopenia, a condition associated with aging, involves progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, leading to impaired mobility, health, and increased mortality. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear, which limits the development of effective therapeutic interventions. Emerging evidence implicates chronodisruption...

A Novel Research Paradigm for Sarcopenia of Limb Muscles: Lessons From the Perpetually Working Diaphragm's Anti-Aging Mechanisms.

Skeletal muscle function and mass continuously decrease during aging. Most studies target limb muscles owing to their direct impact on mobility and falls risk. The diaphragm (DIA), also a type of skeletal muscle with different phenotype, has received less attention....

Physical training reduces cell senescence and associated insulin resistance in skeletal muscle.

Cellular senescence (CS) is a key aging process that leads to irreversible cell cycle arrest and an altered secretory phenotype. In skeletal muscle (SkM), the accumulation of senescent cells contributes to sarcopenia. Despite exercise being a known intervention for maintaining...

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.
