- |||||||||| Journal: Roles of active forms of vitamin D in supporting innate immune systems and in reducing excess inflammation in COVID-19 (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2022
Vitamin D supplementation stimulates the synthesis of antibacterial peptides and is important for weakening the cytokine storm, reducing excessive acute and chronic inflammation, and also for compensating for chronic comorbid pathologies. Active forms of vitamin D (alfacalcidol, etc.) are of particular importance for compensating for vitamin D deficiency in elderly patients, endocrine-immune dysfunction, sarcopenia, chronic renal failure (in which the metabolism of vitamin D in the kidneys is disturbed).
- |||||||||| Journal: Exploration of mitochondrial defects in sarcopenic hip fracture patients. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 29, 2022
Primary myoblast cultures gained from the same muscle biopsies did not show significant mitochondrial defects. We hypothesize that a sum of external consequences, including vitamin D deficiency and iron deficiency caused by disturbances in the iron metabolism, result in complex I deficiency, which in turn affects the TCA and contributes to muscle weakness and loss.

The acquisition of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in both osteoprogenic and myeloid lineage cells was the underlying cause. Together, we showed that osteocytes play critical roles in regulation of lineage cell specifications in bone and bone marrow through mediation of senescence.

Besides the therapies targeting the signaling pathways mentioned above, such as AdipoRon and elamipretide, we further summarize other potential pharmacological approaches like inhibitors of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), as well as some natural products, which may have the beneficial effects on improving the skeletal muscle mitochondrial function of HF. Targeting myocyte mitochondrial biogenesis, oxidative metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, and reduction of oxidative stress injury are promising future opportunities for the prevention and management of skeletal muscle myopathy in HF.

PET/CT response at interim and end-of-treatment, MTV, TLG, and baseline sarcopenia were independent prognostic factors for PFS. Instead, metabolic response at interim and end-of-treatment PET, baseline sarcopenia, ΔSMI at interim, and ΔSMI at end-of-treatment for OS were independent prognostic factors.
- |||||||||| Journal: Diagnostic Value of Inflammatory Markers in Elderly Arab Women with Sarcopenia. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022
In conclusion, elevated levels of TNF-α are significantly associated with the risk of sarcopenia, while variations perceived in circulating CRP can be explained by changes in the muscle mass indices only among individuals with sarcopenia. The present findings, while promising, need further investigations on a larger scale to determine whether inflammatory markers hold any diagnostic value in assessing sarcopenia among elderly Arab women.
- |||||||||| Observational data, Journal: Association of Micronutrients and Handgrip Strength in Korean Older Population: A Cross-Sectional Study. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022
Among micronutrients, insufficient potassium intake showed a significant association with low handgrip strength for men (OR: 3.159, 95% CI: 1.164-8.578) and women (OR: 2.793, 95% CI: 1.380-5.654) aged ≥65 years, respectively (p = 0.005 for men, p = 0.024 for women), as a result of adjusting for all confounding factors that could affect low handgrip strength. In conclusion, potassium intake among micronutrients in Korean older populations with low handgrip strength might need continuous monitoring for the intervention or prevention of dynapenia or sarcopenia.
- |||||||||| Journal: Impact of Low Skeletal Muscle Mass and Obesity on Hearing Loss in Asymptomatic Individuals: A Population-Based Study. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022
In multivariable-adjusted models, the risk of hearing loss was the highest in the pre-sarcopenic obesity group (odds ratio: 1.30 [95% confidence interval: 1.10-1.56]), followed by the obesity alone (1.20 [1.12-1.28]) and pre-sarcopenia alone (1.19 [1.06-1.34]) group compared with the control group (p < 0.001). Pre-sarcopenic obesity was independently associated with a higher prevalence of hearing loss, supporting pre-sarcopenic obesity itself as a risk for the decline in hearing function.

Finally, patients with SO have a reduced baseline resting energy expenditure and more sedentary behaviors, which seem to account for the relationship between SO and poorer weight management outcomes, such as a higher early dropout rate and major later difficulties in weight loss maintenance. Therefore, specific strategies for personalized weight management programs for patients with SO should be incorporated to determine a successful management of this phenotype.

In the world's aging society, TRT can be a tool for preventing the onset of sarcopenia in older-adult men. This narrative review aims to show the relationship between the decline in testosterone with age, sarcopenia, and frailty, as well as the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on muscle mass and strength.

This narrative review aims to show the relationship between the decline in testosterone with age, sarcopenia, and frailty, as well as the effects of testosterone replacement therapy on muscle mass and strength. Emerging data support that pulmonologists should be aware of the sarcopenia concept and be prepared to evaluate the existence of low muscle mass in their asthmatic patients.

Our analysis suggested that global nutrition and sarcopenia-related research increased rapidly from 2001 to 2021, demonstrating that this was a promising area of future research that could benefit from continued advances. Future research may focus on the effects of age and sex as well as intervention effectiveness, particularly exercise and nutrition supplementation.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Review, Journal: Evolving Concepts on Inflammatory Biomarkers and Malnutrition in Chronic Kidney Disease. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022
In this article, we will explore currently available nutritional-inflammatory biomarkers in distinct CKD populations (hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, transplantation) with a view to evaluating their efficacy as predictors of malnutrition and their involvement in the common proinflammatory process. Although there is a direct relationship between inflammatory-nutritional status, signs and symptoms [e.g., protein-energy wasting (PEW), anorexia], and comorbidities (e.g., atheromatosis, atherosclerosis), we are in need of clearly standardized markers for nutritional-inflammatory assessment to improve their performance and design appropriate bidirectional interventions.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Effects of Whey Peptide Supplementation on Sarcopenic Obesity in High-Fat Diet-Fed Mice. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2022
In skeletal muscle, WP supplementation regardless of RE alleviated energy metabolism dysregulation and resulted in down-regulated protein degradation (Atrogin-1 (p = 0.003), MuRF1 (p = 0.006)) and apoptosis (Bax) (p = 0.004). Taken together, the current study elucidated that WP supplementation regardless of RE has potential anti-obesity and anti-sarcopenic effects in sarcopenic obesity.

- |||||||||| Journal: Impact of aging and oxidative stress on specific components of excitation contraction coupling in regulating force generation. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 27, 2022
Loss of muscle strength occurs in both models, potentially because of reduced membrane excitability with altered NKA signaling and RyR stability, decreased fiber Ca sensitivity and suppressed SERCA activity via modification of the Cys residue, dysregulated SR and cytosolic Ca homeostasis, and impaired mitochondrial Ca buffering and respiration. Our results provide a better understanding of the specific impacts of aging and oxidative stress on mechanisms related to muscle weakness that may point to future interventions for countering muscle weakness.
