CXCL14 Promotes Skeletal Muscle Mass Growth and Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide- and Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy in Cultured Myotubes and Mouse Models.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>Skeletal muscle mass is regulated by secretory factors derived from myofibers and muscle-resident cells. Identifying these factors and understanding their mechanisms is critical for combating muscle wasting disorders. This experimental study investigates the role of CXCL14, a chemokine primarily secreted...

Peripheral Thyroid Hormones, Inflammatory and Skeletal Muscle Indexes in Advanced Cervical Cancer Treated With Cemiplimab.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>A low fT3/fT4 ratio has been associated with poorer prognosis in several diseases. Inflammatory indexes (IIs) and the skeletal muscle index (SMI) are established prognostic factors in various cancer types. However, their interplay and individual contributions to the prognosis of...

Skeletal Muscle PGC-1ฮฑ Remodels Mitochondrial Phospholipidome but Does Not Alter Energy Efficiency for ATP Synthesis.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>The coupling of oxygen consumption to ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is central for cellular energy homeostasis. Some studies suggest exercise training increases the efficiency of ATP synthesis, but the molecular mechanisms are unclear. We have previously shown that...

Experimental Evidence Against Taurine Deficiency as a Driver of Aging in Humans.

Taurine deficiency was recently proposed as a driver of aging in various species, including humans. To test this hypothesis, we assessed whether circulating taurine was associated with aging and physical performance in 137 physically inactive and physically active men aged...

CTRP9 as a myokine mitigates sarcopenia via the LAMP-2A/NLRP3 pathway.

Sarcopenia, a degenerative condition marked by progressive skeletal muscle atrophy and impaired regeneration, is closely associated with aging, chronic inflammation, and disrupted proteostasis. While macroautophagy has been extensively studied in this context, little of the role of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA)...

Silencing Myostatin Using In Vivo Self-Assembled siRNA Protects Against Cancer- and Dexamethasone-Induced Muscle Atrophy.

Maintaining skeletal muscle mass is crucial for health, as muscle atrophy caused by drugs, cancer, or aging poses serious risks. However, there are few effective pharmacological interventions targeting muscle atrophy, highlighting the need for new therapeutic strategies. In this study,...

Muscle-Specific Strength Better Predicts Physical Performance Decline Than Conventional Metrics: The I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study.

Muscle-specific strength (MSS), defined as grip strength normalized to arm muscle mass, may better reflect muscle efficiency than grip strength. Despite its potential utility in diagnosing sarcopenia, longitudinal studies evaluating MSS as a predictor of sarcopenia-related outcomes remain limited. This...

Muscle Abnormalities in Nonhospitalised Patients With Post-COVID-19 Condition.

Post-COVID condition (PCC) affects ~10% of SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals and manifests as persistent symptoms such as fatigue, exercise intolerance and muscle weakness. This study aimed to assess the skeletal muscle of these patients and compare them with healthy controls. Biopsies were...

Sarcopenia Assessment Using Fully Automated Deep Learning Predicts Cardiac Allograft Survival in Heart Transplant Recipients.

Sarcopenia is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with end-stage heart failure. Muscle mass can be quantified via manual segmentation of computed tomography images, but this approach is time-consuming and subject to interobserver variability. We sought to determine whether fully...

Adipose-Derived Extracellular Vesicles and Intercellular Crosstalk With Skeletal Muscle: Implications for Sarcopenic Obesity and Metabolic Dysregulation.

Sarcopenic obesity, characterized by the concurrent presence of excess adiposity and diminished skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to frailty, chronic inflammation, and insulin resistance. The increasing prevalence of sarcopenic obesity is driven by the global aging population,...

Voluntary Activity Wheel Running Improves Hyperammonaemia-Induced Skeletal Muscle Molecular and Metabolic Perturbations in Mice.

Voluntary exercise improves clinical outcomes in healthy subjects, but increased muscle ammoniagenesis may limit beneficial responses during hyperammonaemia in chronic diseases.
