Mitochondrial stress bridge: Could muscle-derived extracellular vesicles be the missing link between sarcopenia, insulin resistance, and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity?

Sarcopenia is currently considered a systemic condition that goes beyond muscle atrophy to include multifunctional metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction. The mediators between skeletal muscle loss and entire body insulin resistance and increased vulnerability to cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy are not...

Targeting Progesterone Receptor Membrane Component 1 to Improve Muscle Development and Glucose Homeostasis.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) arises from the interplay between peripheral insulin resistance and pancreatic ฮฒ-cell dysfunction, ultimately leading to impaired glucose utilization and chronic hyperglycemia. Despite therapeutic advances, the multifactorial nature of T2D continues to demand the development of...

Anabolic Effects of Salbutamol Are Lost Upon Immobilization.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Periods of muscle disuse occur during hospitalization, illness or the recovery from (sports) injury and lead to a rapid loss of muscle mass and the development of insulin resistance. Salbutamol is a fast-acting ฮฒ2-adrenoreceptor agonist that may improve muscle protein...

Skeletal Muscle-Specific Deletion of E3 Ligase Asb2 Enhances Muscle Mass and Strength.

Maintaining skeletal muscle mass and strength is crucial to prevent sarcopenia during healthy ageing. Ankyrin repeat and suppressor of cytokine signalling box protein 2 (Asb2), an E3 ligase, has been implicated in regulating muscle mass; however, its roles on muscle...

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...
