Nutritional Supplementation and Skeletal Muscle Health in Chronic Diseases
… This thesis mainly focuses on obesity and aging. Skeletal muscle performance is impaired in obesity and aging conditions. One common reason causing this could be higher fat mass and lower muscle mass. However, there is no study showing what pathways are involved in the imbalance of body …

Investigating The Effect Of Chronic Muscle Use And Disuse On Innate Immune Signaling In Skeletal Muscle
Skeletal muscle health is highly dependent on the intricate mitochondrial reticulum that exhibits high levels of adaptability. It is now recognized that mitochondrial perturbations can activate innate immune pathways, such as the NLRP3 inflammasome complex, by augmenting the response against …

Amino Acid Sensing in Muscle: Role of the lysosome and the effect of protein supplementation on improving amino acid sensitivity in aging muscle
… is a well-studied stimulus for increasing skeletal muscle protein synthesis. Only recently has the mechanism for this phenomenon been elucidated at the cellular level. To this point, most of the mechanistic research into this process has been conducted in human embryonic kidney cells. …

THE ROLE OF SKELETAL MUSCLE SYNTHESIZED BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR (BDNF) ON THE HEALTH AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MURINE MOTOR UNIT
<p>Skeletal muscle is a cytokine-producing organ capable of expressing various myokines, including tumor necrosis factor alpha, IL-6, IL-8, IL-15, IL-17, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (Pederson, 2011, So et al., 2014, Schnyder and Handschin, 2015). BDNF is a small neurotrophic …

Sex Differences in Cancer Cachexia and a Novel Mitochondrial Target for Cancer-Induced Muscle Wasting
… characterized by marked weight loss including skeletal muscle atrophy that affects approximately 80% of cancer patients. Current therapeutic treatments including pharmacological and nutritional intervention are insufficient to prevent or reverse it. Prior studies demonstrated lower muscle mass, …

Human obesity and its influence on muscle protein synthesis
Improving skeletal muscle health is an important component of obesity treatment. Apart from locomotion, skeletal muscle tissue is fundamental for the regulation of macronutrient metabolism during the postprandial period, which is precisely where metabolic derangements are most often observed. In …

Regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise
Whole body and skeletal muscle mass is regulated by counterbalanced fluctuations between protein synthesis and breakdown rates. Protein ingestion has been shown to stimulate protein synthesis rates and thus is an important variable within the net protein balance equation dictating a positive …

Impact of an Acute Bout of Low- and High-Frequency Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Voluntary Muscle Fatigue and Antioxidant Response
… (NMES) is an intervention used for promoting skeletal muscle contraction, strength, and hypertrophy, particularly in populations with limited voluntary exercise capacity. Stimulation frequency is a key NMES parameter that may influence force production, fatigue development, and biological …
