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
… to determine 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 …

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 …

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
… in significant 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 …

The Role of DNA Methylation in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy, Hypertrophy and Epigenetic ‘Memory’
Skeletal muscle mass is vitally important for the maintenance of health and quality of life into old age, with a plethora of disorders and diseases linked to the loss of this tissue. As a consequence, molecular biologists have extensively investigated both atrophying and hypertrophying skeletal …

Estrogen receptor [alpha] and [beta] knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature female and male mice, and aromatase knock-out effects on skeletal muscle in mature male mice
… AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Estrogen regulates skeletal muscle mass and function in female. Estrogen may influence skeletal muscle mass and function during development in males as estrogen receptors (ER) have been identified in both female and male skeletal muscle. Whether estrogen exerts its …

Body composition in elderly and its features in persons with sarcopenia /
… composition is changing with age: the lean body mass – first of all the skeletal muscle mass and later the bone mineral content – reduces and the fat mass increases, also the regional re-distribution of fat mass occurs. The combination of low muscle mass and low muscle strength or physical …

The effect of leucine and dileucine ingestion on muscle protein turnover in healthy young men
Skeletal muscle mass and quality, which is determined by day-to-day changes in muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown rates (MPB), are important determinants of physical performance and metabolic health across all age groups. As such, identifying nutritional and exercise …

The role of muscle and circulatory microRNAs as regulators and biomarkers of muscle function
Skeletal muscle is an abundant tissue type with critical roles in locomotion, force production and whole body energy regulation. Skeletal muscle mass and function are adaptively regulated by multiple stimuli including physical loading (exercise), nutrient intake (protein supplementation) and …

Dietary Supplementation & Resistance Training Programs Designed to Promote Increases in Muscle Mass
… strategies that focus on building/preserving skeletal muscle mass will enhance the health of a wide sector of the population and possibly, diminish the severity of many ageing-related illnesses. The focus of this dissertation was to examine the effects of strategic intervention with dietary …

Change in the Number of Fibers and Nuclei in the Rat Soleus Muscle During Normal Development and Increased Work Load Exercise
… upper lip. To produce a permanent increase in skeletal muscle mass, changes associated with hyperplasia would probably have to occur. If it would be possible to demonstrate in animals that skeletal muscle cells and corresponding deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) increased with exercise, clinical …

Muscle-specific considerations for aging human skeletal muscle
… some evidence that the age-associated change in skeletal muscle mass is muscle specific, yet the number of specific muscles that have been studied to form our understanding in this area is limited. In addition, few aging investigations have examined multiple muscles in the same individuals. This …

T cell mediated satellite cell function: implications for age-associated changes in skeletal muscle regeneration
Sarcopenia is an age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Recent evidence suggests that an age-associated loss of muscle precursor cell (MPC) functionality contributes to sarcopenia. Current research also suggests that T cells of the immune system may influence skeletal 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 …

α7β1 integrin regulation of skeletal muscle growth in response to mechanical loading
… the α7β1 integrin subunit in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in response to mechanical loading. The purpose of this study was to 1) to utilize an automated computer program (SMASH) to reassess myofiber cross-sectional area in previously collected samples, and 2) to determine the mechanism …

Improved characterisation of measures of fatness and metabolic risks in older adolescents and young adults in the South Asian population in the UK
… with a higher proportion of body fat, lower skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and a tendency to accumulate body fat (BF) in the abdominal region at equivalent BMI’s compared with those of a Caucasian heritage. The higher percentage of body fat (BF%) in SA children tends to track into adult life and …

Optimization of a pericyte therapy to improve muscle recovery following hindlimb immobilization
… limb immobilization can significantly reduce skeletal muscle mass and function. Recovery may be severely delayed or incomplete due to the inability to effectively engage in physical therapy. Thus, alternative strategies are needed to enhance recovery and prevent long-term disability, …
