Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and muscle strength changes in older adults: Risks beyond muscle mass reductions.

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP)/Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are increasingly prescribed for the management of obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet research pertinent to their effects on muscle health is limited. Considering the central role of muscle strength as a...

Mitochondrial stress bridge: Could muscle-derived extracellular vesicles be the missing link between sarcopenia, insulin resistance, and chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity?

Sarcopenia is currently considered a systemic condition that goes beyond muscle atrophy to include multifunctional metabolic and cardiovascular dysfunction. The mediators between skeletal muscle loss and entire body insulin resistance and increased vulnerability to cardiotoxicity caused by chemotherapy are not...

Cachexia in Pancreatic Cancer: New Insights to Impact Quality of Life and Survival.

Introduction: Cancer cachexia is associated with systemic inflammation and metabolic derangement, leading to muscle atrophy, which affects over 80% of pancreatic cancer patients, the highest rate among all malignancies, negatively impacting quality of life and significantly reducing survival rate. Malnutrition,...

A triad strategy of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management for malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty in super-aged societies.

BACKGROUND

Rapid population aging has intensified the prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, frailty, and oral dysfunction, significantly affecting healthcare outcomes and quality of life in older adults. A growing body of evidence suggests that integrating rehabilitation, nutrition support, and oral health management-a...

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,...

Oral apigenin prevents obesity-related muscular atrophy, but not obesity itself, in middle-aged rats fed a high-calorie diet.

Obesity constitutes a growing global health concern, affecting individuals during the aging process. Flavonoids that increase tissue NAD+ levels, such as apigenin (Api), are proposed for the treatment of obesity and age-related diseases. Thus, this study aimed to provide initial preclinical...
