Effects of exercise and nutrition in improving sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC), adversely affecting their quality of life and life expectancy. Exercise and nutrition represent common interventions to ameliorate sarcopenia in these patients, although there exists inconsistency in the reported effectiveness of...

Sheer drop ahead: reviewing sarcopenia outcomes in elderly patients undergoing bariatric surgery.

The global prevalence of obesity among elderly patients continues to rise. Despite the availability of new antiobesity medications, bariatric surgery remains an effective treatment option for carefully selected candidates. However, it is not risk-free, especially in a vulnerable population, predisposing...

Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 Entry Genes in Skeletal Muscle and Impacts of Inย Vitro Versus Inย Vivo Infection.

COVID-19 has been associated with both respiratory (diaphragm) and non-respiratory (limb) muscle atrophy. It is unclear if SARS-CoV-2 infection of skeletal muscle plays a role in these changes. This study sought to: 1) determine if cells comprising skeletal muscle tissue,...

Transcriptomic Profiling Reveals 17ฮฒ-Estradiol Treatment Represses Ubiquitin-Proteasomal Mediators in Skeletal Muscle of Ovariectomized Mice.

With a decline of 17ฮฒ-estradiol (E2) at menopause, E2 has been implicated in the accompanied loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. We aimed at characterizing transcriptomic responses of skeletal muscle to E2 in female mice, testing the hypothesis that...

Descriptive Epidemiology and Prognostic Significance of Diaphragm Thickness in the General Population: The Nagahama Study.

Diaphragm thickness is a potential marker of sarcopenia in addition to muscle mass and strength at extremities. We aimed to clarify the descriptive epidemiology and prognostic significance of diaphragm thickness in the general population. The study participants were 3324 community...

Novel oral compound Z526 mitigates cancer-associated cachexia via intervening NF-ฮบB signaling and oxidative stress.

Cancer-associated cachexia (CAC) is a severe metabolic disorder syndrome mainly characterized by muscle and fat loss, which accounts for one-third of cancer-related deaths. No effective therapeutic approach that could fully reverse CAC is available. NF-ฮบB signaling and oxidative stress play...

Sarcopenia and cachexia: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

Sarcopenia is defined as a muscle-wasting syndrome that occurs with accelerated aging, while cachexia is a severe wasting syndrome associated with conditions such as cancer and immunodeficiency disorders, which cannot be fully addressed through conventional nutritional supplementation. Sarcopenia can be...

Norharmane prevents muscle aging via activation of SKN-1/NRF2 stress response pathways.

Sarcopenia, the age-related decline in muscle mass and function, is a significant contributor to increased frailty and mortality in the elderly. Currently, no FDA-approved treatment exists for sarcopenia. Here, we identified norharmane (NR), a ฮฒ-carboline alkaloid, as a potential therapeutic...

Why are we not exploring the potential of lower limb muscle power to identify people with sarcopenia?

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...

Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Acetylation Mediating Muscle Dysfunction Contributes to Sleep Apnoea in Obesity.

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) occurs frequently among individuals with obesity, which is attributed to upper airway muscle dysfunction. Muscle function is regulated by the dynamic balance of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and its reduced form (NADH), which is controlled...
