Mechanisms underlying mechanical overload-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy have
been extensively researched since the landmark report by Morpurgo (1897) of “work …

Many patients with cancer experience poor nutritional status, which detrimentally impacts
clinical outcomes. Poor nutritional status in cancer is primarily manifested by severe muscle …

The growing global population and lifestyle changes have increased the demand for
specialized diets that require protein and other essential nutrients for humans. Recent …

Muscle thickness (MT) measured by ultrasound has been used to estimate cross‐sectional
area (measured by CT and MRI) at a single time point. We tested whether MT could be used …

Although animal protein is usually considered to be a more potent stimulator of muscle
protein synthesis than plant protein, the effect of protein source on lean mass and muscle …

Resistance training (RT)-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy is a highly intricate process.
Despite substantial advances, we are far from understanding exactly how muscle …

Accumulation of dysfunctional and damaged cellular proteins and organelles occurs during
aging, resulting in a disruption of cellular homeostasis and progressive degeneration and …

Background Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that predicts the onset of disability, morbidity and
mortality in elderly people; it is a state of pre-disability and is reversible. The aim of this …

Feeding stimulates robust increases in muscle protein synthesis (MPS); however, ageing
may alter the anabolic response to protein ingestion and the subsequent aminoacidaemia …

Frailty is a geriatric syndrome that refers to a state of reduced resiliency to stressful events
that occurs in response to physiological and/or psychosocial detriments. Frailty is a predictor …
