Sarcopenia is the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function. Recently, research has focused on defining diagnostic criteria for this condition, now recognized as a muscle disease with a specific identifying code (ICD-10: M62.84). The diagnostic process for sarcopenia...
Fasting shows promise for public health, but concerns about muscle loss hinder its acceptance, particularly among the elderly. We explored the impact of long-term fasting (12โdays, 250โkcal/day) on muscle structure, metabolism and performance. We prospectively assessed muscle volume, composition, relaxometry...
Programmed cell death plays a critical role in skeletal muscle atrophy. Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by lipid peroxidation, has been implicated in various diseases, but its role in skeletal muscle atrophy remains unclear. Ferroptosis in...
This study aimed to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) using data from the UK Biobank cohort. A total of 201โ563 participants were enrolled in this...
Endothelial damage induces myofibrillar breakdown and muscle degradation in COVID-19 infection. There is a relationship between increased endothelin-1 synthesis and sarcopenia. We evaluated the preventive effect of early bosentan therapy as an endothelin receptor blocker in sarcopenia in high-risk outpatients...
Despite advances in research on training and nutritional supplementation, it is largely unknown how micronutrient intake modulates the response to training in older adults. This study investigates the relationship between nutrient intake and response to training in older women at...
Although the role of vitamin D receptor (VDR) in muscle mass and strength is well established, the effects of vitamin D (VD) on muscle remain controversial due to various factors. Herein, the influence of sex on the effects of VD...
Muscle atrophy is associated with Type 2 diabetes mellitus, which reduces the quality of life and lacks effective treatment strategies. Previously, it was determined that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cell (hucMSC)-derived exosomes (EXOs) ameliorate diabetes-induced muscle atrophy. However, the...
Falls and sarcopenia are significant public health issues in Vietnam. Despite muscle strength being a critical predictor for these conditions, reference data on muscle strength within the Vietnamese population are lacking. To establish the reference ranges for muscle strength among...
ฮฒ-Hydroxy-ฮฒ-methyl butyrate (HMB) is a metabolite of the amino acid leucine, known for its ergogenic effects on body composition and strength. Despite these benefits, the magnitude of these effects remains unclear due to variability among studies. This umbrella review aims...
Sarcopenia refers to a neuromuscular disease characterized by age-related declines in muscle mass and function. Since Professor Rosenberg first introduced the concept of sarcopenia in 1989, numerous operational paradigms have been proposed, tested, and validated against negative outcomes. The most...
Sarcopenia affects the quality of life and increases adverse outcomes in the elderly. However, as a potential safe and effective remedy to many age-related disorders, little is known about the protective effect of melatonin against sarcopenia, especially the underlying mechanisms...
Inconsistent results have been reported concerning the association between statin administration and muscle health, specifically its potential to increase the risk of sarcopenia. Given the widespread long-term use of statins among the elderly population, the exploration of this association remains...
3D-bioprinting is a promising technique to mimic the complex anatomy of natural tissues, as it comprises a precise and gentle way of placing bioinks containing cells and hydrogel. Although hydrogels expose an ideal growth environment due to their extracellular matrix...
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...
