Differences in Circulating Inflammatory Markers in Older Adults With and Without Sarcopenia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

OBJECTIVES

In this systematic review and meta-analysis, mean differences among high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), CRP, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), the most common markers used in clinical practice, between older adults with and without sarcopenia based on established consensus...

A plasma proteomic signature of cancer-related sarcopenia implicates the IGFBP axis in muscle dysfunction.

BACKGROUND

Cancer-related sarcopenia is associated with poor clinical outcomes but remains difficult to define and quantify in routine oncology practice. Current assessments rely on imaging and functional scales that are time-consuming and provide limited biological insight. We aimed to identify a...

Juyuanjian attenuates sarcopenia through dual regulation of the Akt/FoxO1 and SIRT1/PGC-1α pathways.

BACKGROUND

Sarcopenia, an age-related degenerative disease, corresponds to "Qi Xu" syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Juyuanjian (JYJ), a classical Qi-tonifying formula, has shown potential against muscle atrophy and functional decline, but its molecular mechanisms are not well understood.

PURPOSE

To investigate whether JYJ...

High Fat Diet and Obesity Each Increase Tumor Cell Proliferation and Muscle Wasting in Experimental Cancer Cachexia.

High fat diet (HFD) and associated obesity are suggested to predispose to cancer development, complicate cancer treatment, and accelerate mortality. Paradoxically, obese patients with lung cancer are reported to live longer, suggesting that high body mass is protective. Given that...

Novel Aptamers Targeting Sclerostin Loop3 Improve Skeletal and Muscle Properties Without Adverse Cardiovascular Effects in Orchiectomized Mice.

The Wnt/β-catenin pathway and its bone-specific inhibitor, sclerostin, play important roles in skeletal development and homeostasis. The humanized sclerostin antibody, romosozumab, can significantly increase bone mineral density (BMD) of patients with osteoporosis, but it may also increase cardiovascular adverse events,...

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...

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...

Adipokines and Myokines as Markers of Malnutrition and Sarcopenia in Patients Receiving Kidney Replacement Therapy: An Observational, Cross-Sectional Study.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is linked to an elevated risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, contributing to the intricate network of CKD-related metabolic disorders. Adipokines and myokines are markers and effectors of sarcopenia and nutritional status. The aim of this study...
