Identification of cost-effective interventions to maintain muscle mass, muscle strength, and
physical performance during muscle wasting and aging is an important public health …

Muscle wasting and cachexia are the ultimate consequence of aging and a variety of acute
and chronic illnesses. Significant efforts are made by many stakeholders to develop effective …

The ever increasing burden of an aging population and pandemic of metabolic syndrome
worldwide demands further understanding of the modifiable risk factors in reducing disability …

Due to its essential role in movement, insulating the internal organs, generating heat to
maintain core body temperature, and acting as a major energy storage depot, any …

Sarcopenia, an age-associated decline in skeletal muscle mass coupled with functional
deterioration, may be exacerbated by obesity leading to higher disability, frailty, morbidity …

While skeletal muscle mass is an established primary outcome related to understanding
cancer cachexia mechanisms, considerable gaps exist in our understanding of muscle …

This review describes the major hormonal factors that determine the balance between
human skeletal muscle anabolism and catabolism in health and disease, with specific …

Skeletal muscle is the most abundant tissue in the human body, and the maintenance of its
mass is essential to ensure basic function as locomotion, strength and respiration. The …

Human muscle undergoes constant changes. After about age 50, muscle mass decreases at
an annual rate of 1–2%. Muscle strength declines by 1.5% between ages 50 and 60 and by …

Background Sarcopenia is thought to be accompanied by increased muscle fat infiltration.
However, no longitudinal studies have examined concomitant changes in muscle mass …
