Diet, inflammation and skeletal muscle mass in women
… Sarcopenia is the progressive decline of muscle mass, strength and function that occurs with healthy ageing. The ageing process is also associated with a gradual increasing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may potentially enhance the development of sarcopenia. Dietary …

Skeletal muscle mass, function, and metabolic regulation between menopause stages in moderately active mid-life females
… the effect of menopause stage on skeletal muscle mass, strength and function and to evaluate the response to resistance exercise training between pre-, peri and post-menopausal mid-life females. Seventy one moderately active pre-, peri, and post-menopausal females were characterised …

Investigating the Role of PARylation in Regulating Skeletal Muscle Mass and Function in Healthy Mature Mice
… polymerase 1 (PARP1) and PARG in the skeletal muscle of healthy mature mice under normal physiological conditions. Specifically, we validate the deletion of Parp1 and Parg in inducible skeletal muscle-specific KO mouse models followed by performing general phenotyping of both male and female …

Development of a stem cell-based therapy for the recovery of skeletal muscle mass following immobilization
Skeletal muscle disuse atrophy is a debilitating medical condition that occurs as result of limb immobilization and whole body bed rest. Severe reductions to muscle mass contribute to functional declines, disability, and metabolic comorbidities, such as obesity, Type II diabetes, and cardiovascular …

Development of a pericyte-derived extracellular vesicle therapy for the recovery of skeletal muscle mass following immobilization
… declines in protein synthesis and skeletal muscle mass, a condition known as disuse atrophy. Physical therapy is standard practice following disuse atrophy and may be sufficient for complete recovery of muscle mass and function in young individuals. However, the majority of older adults are …

Influence of selection for breast muscle mass on pH and metabolism of supracoracoideus muscle from male and female turkey
… to determine if selection for increased breast muscle mass has affected the supracoracoideus muscle's ability to regulate pH during physical activity in turkeys. The lightweight male line (LM) had the greatest breast muscle mass as a percent of body weight (p < 0.0001), a lower average pH (6.68; …

The association between testosterone and muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in Korean men aged 60 and older
… in elderly men. Sarcopenia was defined by low muscle mass in prior studies. However this study is to see the association between serum testosterone level and sarcopenia according to the new sarcopenia definition which considers not only muscle mass, but also muscle strength and gait speed in …

Influence of Overall Habitual Physical Activity on the Age-Related Change in Muscle Mass in 60 to 85 Year-Olds
… activity (LTA), on the age-related change in muscle mass. A second objective was to examine the relationship between leg muscle mass and concentric/eccentric peak force production (CEPFP) of the quadriceps femoris muscle group. The final objective was to examine the relationship between muscle …

THE HUMAN POPULATION IS AGING: HOME-BASED EXERCISE AND AMINO ACIDS SUPPLEMENTATION TO COUNTERACT THE LOSS OF MUSCLE MASS AND MUSCLE STRENGTH IN OLDER PEOPLE.
… the association between lower limb strength, muscle mass and composition, and balance ability in elders. Thirthy-four older participants (Age: 65.6 ± 4.73 years; male = 10 and female = 24) were assessed for muscle strength (maximal isometric strength of knee extensors and one repetition …

Association between insulin like growth factor-1 and muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance based on European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People guideline
… in body composition, such as a decrease in muscle mass, bone mineral density, and an increase in body fat. We assumed that these changes were accompanied by decrease of IGF-1 level. We aimed to define relationship between IGF-1 level and muscle mass, muscle strength and physical function of …

Effects of 28 days of protein and amino acid supplementation and ankle immobilization on gastrocnemius muscle mass and strength and atrophy- and apoptosis-related gene expression in males.
… humans attenuated decreases in: 1) gastrocnemius muscle mass, 2) plantar flexion strength, 3) and expression of genes associated with the ubiquitin proteolytic pathway (UPS) and calcium-activated proteolytic system (CAS). A secondary purpose was to assess the safety of 28-days of protein and amino …

Investigate the nutritional status, including body composition, of oncology patients attending an outpatient clinic at Groote Schuur hospital: a cross-sectional study
… the common phenotypic component of reduced muscle mass in malnutrition, cancer cachexia and sarcopenia, with a plethora of reference populations used and cutoff points determined for different representations of muscle mass. This variety in research has added to the challenges of identifying …

Alkalosis and digoxin effects on plasma potassium, ionic homeostasis and exercise performance in healthy humans
Muscle contractions induce cellular potassium (K+) efflux which may contribute to impaired muscle cell membrane excitability and fatigue. The magnitude of K+ changes are dependent on the size of contracting muscle mass, duration and intensity of exercise, and health and fitness status of …

The Effects of Vitamin D and Sarcopenia on Bone mineral density in Korean women
… vitamin D may prevent fractures by improving muscle mass as well as via increasing bone density directly.The purpose of the study is to determine thatthe influence of vitamin D on bone mineral density depends on its effects on muscle mass. We analyzed the data from Korean National Health and …

The Effect of Sex and Exercise Training During the Progression of Cancer Cachexia In the Apc Min/+ Mouse
… and characterized by the loss of body weight and muscle mass. The condition is associated with elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, disrupted glucose and fat metabolism, and loss of muscle strength and function. There is a growing evidence for sexual dimorphism related to …

A Comparative Study of the Anterior Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Following Stretch in the Quail and Chicken
The mechanism of muscle mass increase has long been debated. Fiber hypertrophy and hyperplasia (increased fiber numbers) are two possible factors involved in changing the mass of muscle. Much of the controversy in the literature involves whether or not changes in fiber numbers occur. Weight …
