Mitochondrial pathways and sarcopenia in the geroscience era.

Sarcopenia is associated with structural, ultrastructural, and molecular abnormalities of skeletal muscle. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a pivotal factor involved in muscle aging and sarcopenia. Mitochondrial bioenergetics are significantly reduced in muscles of older adults which is associated with whole-body aerobic...

Impact of sarcopenia and muscle strength on postoperative complication risk following pancreatic resection.

The association between sarcopenia and postoperative complications has been widely reported in patients with cancer. Yet, the lack of standardized population-specific diagnostic cut-off points and assessments of muscle strength is hampering prospective clinical utilization. Therefore, we aimed to examine the...

Frailty or sarcopenia: which is a better indicator of mortality risk in older adults?

Despite the different conditions, frailty and sarcopenia overlap regarding their common link: the assessment of walking speed and muscle strength. This study aimed to compare the frailty phenotype to the sarcopenia using different cut-off points for low grip strength to...

Myofiber-specific FoxP1 knockout protects against pancreatic cancer-induced muscle wasting in male but not female mice.

Cancer cachexia affects up to 80% of cancer patients and results in reduced quality of life and survival. We previously demonstrated that the transcriptional repressor Forkhead box P1 (FoxP1) is upregulated in skeletal muscle of cachectic mice and people with...

Sarcopenic obesity in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during radiotherapy.

The impact of computed tomography-defined sarcopenia on outcomes in head and neck cancer has been well described. Sarcopenic obesity (SO) (depleted muscle mass combined with obesity) may pose a more serious risk than either condition alone. We investigated SO and...

LRRK2 Gene Mutation Causes Skeletal Muscle Impairment in Animal Model of Parkinson's Disease.

While the gradually aggravated motor and non-motor disorders of Parkinson's disease (PD) lead to progressive disability and frequent falling, skeletal muscle impairment may contribute to this condition. The leucine-rich repeat kinase2 (LRRK2) is a common disease-causing gene in PD. Little...

The Innovative Role of Nuclear Receptor Interaction Protein in Orchestrating Invadosome Formation for Myoblast Fusion.

Nuclear receptor interaction protein (NRIP) is versatile and engages with various proteins to execute its diverse biological function. NRIP deficiency was reported to cause small myofibre size in adult muscle regeneration, indicating a crucial role of NRIP in myoblast fusion....

Association between metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and myosteatosis measured by computed tomography.

In 2023, the concept of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) was introduced as an alternative to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to assess the quantity and quality of skeletal muscle using each of these diagnostic classifications. This...

Proteomic profiling of human plasma extracellular vesicles identifies PF4 and C1R as novel biomarker in sarcopenia.

Sarcopenia, the gradual and generalized loss of muscle mass and function with ageing, is one of the major health problems in older adults, given its high prevalence and substantial socioeconomic implications. Despite the extensive efforts to reach consensus on definition...

Myosteatosis and muscle loss impact liver transplant outcomes in male patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Sarcopenia is associated with unfavourable long-term survival in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the impact of myosteatosis and muscle loss on patient prognosis has not been investigated. Seven hundred fifty-six HCC patients who received LT...

Tumour-induced alterations in single-nucleus transcriptome of atrophying muscles indicate enhanced protein degradation and reduced oxidative metabolism.

Tumour-induced skeletal muscle wasting in the context of cancer cachexia is a condition with profound implications for patient survival. The loss of muscle mass is a significant clinical obstacle and is linked to reduced tolerance to chemotherapy and increased frailty....

Metabolomic analysis of dietary-restriction-induced attenuation of sarcopenia in prematurely aging DNA repair-deficient mice.

Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, and is a major risk factor for disability and independence in the elderly. Effective medication is not available. Dietary restriction (DR) has been found to attenuate aging and aging-related...

Sarcopenic obesity and health outcomes: An umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analysis.

Many studies support the idea that sarcopenic obesity (SO) could be considered a potential risk factor for negative health outcomes. These results have been inconsistent, and no umbrella reviews exist regarding this topic. Several databases until November 2023 were searched...

Effects of exercise or metformin on myokine concentrations in patients with breast and colorectal cancer: A phase II multi-centre factorial randomized trial.

Physical activity and metformin pharmacotherapy are associated with improved clinical outcomes in breast and colorectal cancer survivors.
