Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is often associated with diminished muscle mass,
reflecting an imbalance between protein synthesis and protein breakdown. To investigate …

Background Muscle mass loss is common in long-standing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The
aim was to explore the prevalence and effects of RA disease characteristics in patients with …

Objective. To determine the effects of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on whole‐body protein
metabolism. Methods. We examined protein metabolism and its hormonal and cytokine …

Background To identify molecular alterations in skeletal muscle in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
that may contribute to ongoing disability in RA. Methods Persons with seropositive or erosive …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine muscle and tendon protein fractional
synthesis rates (FSR) at rest and after a one-legged kicking exercise in patients with knee …

Background Exercise training, including high-intensity interval training (HIIT), improves
rheumatoid arthritis (RA) inflammatory disease activity via unclear mechanisms. Because …

Using stable‐isotope techniques, we measured rates of quadriceps muscle protein
synthesis in twelve women with sero‐positive rheumatoid arthritis. The results were …

Background Sarcopenic obesity, associated with greater risk of cardiovascular disease
(CVD) and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), may be related to dysregulated muscle …

This review focuses on the effects of chronic systemic inflammation on skeletal muscle and
its downstream effect on physical function in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The …

Objective Exercise is beneficial for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, patients
and health professionals have expressed concern about the possible detrimental effects of …
