- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Accounting Gut Microbiota as the Mediator of Beneficial Effects of Dietary (Poly)phenols on Skeletal Muscle in Aging. (Pubmed Central) - May 31, 2023
In older individuals, the gut microbiota is frequently characterized by dysbiosis, overrepresentation of opportunistic pathogens, and increased inter-individual variability, which may contribute to increasing the variability of biological actions of phenolic compounds at the skeletal muscle level. These interactions should be taken into great consideration for designing effective nutritional strategies to counteract sarcopenia.

Our study first explored the causal relationship between COVID-19 and SP-related traits, but the result indicated that they may indirectly interact with each other. We highlighted that older people had better absorb enough nutrition and strengthen exercise to directly cope with SP during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Preclinical, Journal: Effects of luseogliflozin treatment on hyperglycemia-induced muscle atrophy in rats. (Pubmed Central) - May 30, 2023 Muscle atrophy in streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic model rats was inhibited by the suppression of hyperglycemia using luseogliflozin, which consequently suppressed hyperglycemia-mediated increase in the levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and activated the protein degradation pathway in muscle cells. Treatment with luseogliflozin can restore the hyperglycemia-induced loss in the muscle mass to some degree partly through the inhibition of AGEs-induced or homeostatic disruption of mitochondria-induced activation of muscle degradation.

The new results might suggest a possible inversion of the standard diagnostic algorithm of sarcopenia. We conjecture a new diagnostic scheme, which requires a dedicated clinical validation that goes beyond the scope of the present study.

These findings reinforce that HGS may be a simple and inexpensive method to identify early signs of cognitive decline and that studies and rehabilitation strategies should be more sex specific. Combining the semi-physiological parameter ASA classification with PM:L3 provides a quick and simple alternative to the more complex established risk assessment scores and is superior to PM:L3 alone.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Precision Medicine in Fatty Liver Disease/Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2023
We present herein a precision medicine approach for FLD based on our recently proposed subcategorization, which includes the metabolic-associated FLD (MAFLD) (i.e., obesity-associated FLD (OAFLD), sarcopenia-associated FLD (SAFLD, and lipodystrophy-associated FLD (LAFLD)), genetics-associated FLD (GAFLD), FLD of multiple/unknown causes (XAFLD), and combined causes of FLD (CAFLD) as well as advanced stage fibrotic FLD (FAFLD) and end-stage FLD (ESFLD) subcategories. These and other related advances, as a whole, are expected to enable not only improved patient care, quality of life, and long-term disease outcomes, but also a considerable reduction in healthcare system costs associated with FLD, along with more options for better-targeted, more effective treatments in the near future.

Propensity score-matched analysis (n = 37 vs. 37) showed that the survival rate was lower in the sarcopenia group than in the non-sarcopenia group (at 90 days: 77% (95% CI, 59-88) vs. 92% (76-97), at 180 days: 56% (38-71) vs. 92% (76-97), and at one year: 35% (19-51) vs. 81% (63-91), p = 0.0014). (4) Sarcopenia was associated with poor prognosis in patients having undergone PEG.

In subgroup analysis which was stratified by age (age under 40, age between 40 and 59, age over 60), the OR for sarcopenia was higher in men with age over 60 years (OR, 4.12; 95% CI, 1.48-11.44) and women with age between 40 and 59 (OR, 2.29; 95% CI, 1.05-5.00). The prevalence of sarcopenia was higher in Korean men with RA and women with RA in middle age, suggesting the management of muscle loss will be needed, especially in Koreans with RA.

Additionally, when the odds ratio was analyzed with spermine/spermidine instead of polyamine concentrations, only for spermine/spermidine, the odds ratio values varied in parallel with the progression of sarcopenia. Based on the present data, we believe that the blood spermine/spermidine ratio may be a diagnostic indicator of risk for sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Osteosarcopenia and Pain: Do We Have a Way Out? (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2023
Based on this evidence, we conducted a narrative review using the PubMed and Google Scholar search engines to summarize the current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms involved in the pain development in OSP and the potential countermeasures to be taken. The lack of studies addressing this topic highlights the need to conduct new research into the resolution of an ever-expanding social problem.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Microalgae Produce Antioxidant Molecules with Potential Preventive Effects on Mitochondrial Functions and Skeletal Muscular Oxidative Stress. (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2023
Under conditions of traumatic exercise or muscular diseases, a high production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the origin of oxidative stress (OS) will lead to inflammation and muscle atrophy, with life-long consequences. In this review, we describe the potential antioxidant effects of microalgae and their biomolecules on mitochondrial functions and skeletal muscular oxidative stress during exercises or in musculoskeletal diseases, as in sarcopenia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), through the increase in and regulation of antioxidant pathways and protein synthesis.
