Resistance and endurance exercise training (RET) improves endurance performance, body composition and muscle weight following rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) plus therapy, the recent study shows! #cancer #cachexia #sarcopenia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Simon and colleagues present findings, which indicate that muscle strength is primarily associated with cortical area and thickness rather than trabecular microarchitecture! #osteosarcopenia onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Physical, psychological, cognitive, and social frailty were strongly predictive of adverse events in community-living elderly! #frailty #negative #events onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Huot and colleagues demonstrated that the negative effects of cisplatin were heighted in aged animals, whereas overexpression of PGC1α combated the neuromuscular dysfunction caused by chemotherapy #muscle #wasting onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

A study conducted by Brown and colleagues suggests a loss of proteome quality as a precursor to the lack of fusion of aged myoblasts! #muscle onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Olsson and coauthors described activation of skeletal muscle sphingomyelinase as a mechanism underlying human heart failure-related loss of muscle mass and function! #muscle #wasting onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Qiu and the colleagues demonstrated that high muscle strength was associated with reduced odds of progression to diabetes but not an increased probability of regression to normoglycaemia! #muscle #strength #prediabetes onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Twelve weeks of beta-alanine supplementation is efficacious in augmenting muscle carnosine, an endogenous antioxidant and pH buffer in skeletal muscle, without side effects in patients with COPD! #muscle #metabolism onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Kochlik et al. conclude that frail patients are in a pro-inflammatory or a muscle-catabolic state and that analyses of specific biomarker patterns are more informative than single biomarker analyses in the identification of frailty #biomarker #frailty
