- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Lipotoxicity-related sarcopenia: a review. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 27, 2022
This suggests that appropriate lipotoxicity management should be considered the primary target for the prevention and/or treatment of chronic musculoskeletal and other aging-related disorders. Further advanced research is needed to understand the molecular details of lipotoxicity and its consequences for sarcopenia and sarcopenia-related comorbidities.
- |||||||||| Retrospective data, Journal: Donor Skeletal Muscle Quality Affects Graft Mortality After Living Donor Liver Transplantation- A Single Center, Retrospective Study. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 27, 2022
The donor SMI had no effect on the occurrence of SFSG syndrome and graft survival, while a high IMAC in both male and female donors was significantly correlated with the rate of SFSG syndrome [high vs low: (male donors) 15.8% vs. 2.5%, p = 0.0003; (female donors) 12.8% vs. 3.1%, p = 0.0234] and 6-month graft survival rates [(male donors) 87.7% vs 95.9%, p = 0.02; (female donors) 83.0% vs. 99.0%, p < 0.0001]. Multivariate analysis revealed that a high donor IMAC (HR; 5.42, CI; 2.13-13.8, p = 0.0004) was an independent risk factor for 6-month graft survival, and the donor IMAC is useful for donor selection for high-risk recipients.

Age, number of children, sarcopenia, food intake, self-care status, dietary diversity and body composition were associated with malnutrition among nursing home residents. For vulnerable groups, researchers should focus on raising the body composition indicators, such as BMI, protein, BFM, SMI and TBW and measuring CC and UAC for initial screening.
- |||||||||| Journal: Factors Associated with Dual-Fluency Walk Speed Improvement after Rehabilitation in Older Patients. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
In multivariate analysis, the following factors were associated with an increase in dual-task walk speed: IADL (OR 2.50, 95% CI [1.26; 4.94], p = 0.009), vitamin D level (OR 0.83, 95% CI [0.72; 0.95], p = 0.008), severe sarcopenia (OR 0.00, 95% CI [0.00; 0.32], p = 0.016), depression (OR 15.85, 95% CI [1.32; 190.40], p = 0.029), number of drugs (OR 1.41, 95% CI [1.04; 1.92], p = 0.027), initial dual-fluency walk speed (OR 0.92, 95% CI [0.86; 0.98], p = 0.014) and time interval between initial and final assessments (OR 0.98, 95% CI [0.96; 1.00], p = 0.06). Identifying patients that are less resilient to rehabilitation may promote a centered-patient approach for an individualized and optimized rehabilitation care.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Are Skeletal Muscle Changes during Prolonged Space Flights Similar to Those Experienced by Frail and Sarcopenic Older Adults? (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
For instance, decades of studies in the field have demonstrated that in the older people, the clinical picture of sarcopenia remarkably overlaps (from a clinical and biological point of view) with that of frailty, primarily when referred to the physical function domain. Based on this premise, here we provide a deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms of sarcopenia and frailty, which in aging are often considered together, and how these converge with those observed in astronauts after space flight.

Moreover, the hypothetical protection against phosphate toxicity afforded by tumorigenesis also provides an alternate explanation for putative tumor evasion of the immune system. Insights proposed in this perspective paper provide new directions for further research, with potential to develop novel interventions and clinical applications that modify dietary phosphate intake to reduce cachexia in cancer patients.
- |||||||||| Journal: The Risk of Sarcopenia among Adults with Normal-Weight Obesity in a Nutritional Management Setting. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
Regression analysis showed that being in the NWO category increased the risk of sarcopenia 22-fold in males (RR = 22.27; 95%CI: 3.35-147.98) and 25-fold in females (RR = 25.22; 95%CI: 8.12-78.36), compared to those in the NWNO category. In a "real-world" nutritional setting, the assessment of body composition to identify NWO syndrome is vital since it is also associated with a higher risk of sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Journal: Dietary Inflammatory Index and Associations with Sarcopenia Symptomology in Community-Dwelling Older Adults. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
More participants with a pro-inflammatory DII score had low muscle quantity than those with anti-inflammatory DII (3.4% vs. 6.4%, x = 4.537, p = 0.043) and DII was negatively associated with HGS (β = -0.157, p = 0.016) and ASM (β = -0.176, p = 0.002) which remained significant after adjusting for covariates. In this population, DII was associated with less favorable muscle strength, physical performance, and muscle quantity.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Journal: Dp-ucMGP as a Biomarker in Sarcopenia. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
Persons in the lowest dp-ucMGP quartile have the highest risk for reduced muscle mass, decreasing with each quartile, whereas persons in the highest quartile have the highest risk of reduced muscle strength. Dp-ucMGP might be a good biomarker candidate in sarcopenia characterization.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Muscle Delivery of Mitochondria-Targeted Drugs for the Treatment of Sarcopenia: Rationale and Perspectives. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
Even though these mitochondria-delivered strategies demonstrate to be promising in preclinical models, their use needs to be promoted for clinical studies. Therefore, there is a compelling demand to further understand the mechanisms modulating mitochondrial homeostasis, to characterize powerful compounds that target muscle mitochondria to prevent sarcopenia in aged people.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Exercise and mitochondrial mechanisms in patients with sarcopenia. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 24, 2022
Activation of PGC1-ɑ also regulates transcription factors (such as TFAM, MEFs, and NRFs) and leads to the formation of new mitochondrial networks. Hence, moderate-intensity exercise can be used as a non-invasive treatment for sarcopenia by activating pathways that regulate the mitochondrial network in skeletal muscle.
