Alterations in ECM remodeling may play a role in sarcopenia in CKD. ECM not only provides structural support but also inhibits atrophic factors, such as myostatin inhibition by decorin.
- |||||||||| Exercise Mimetic Restores Muscle and Bone Outcomes in a Rat Model of CKD (Room 6D, Convention Center) - Oct 12, 2024 - Abstract #KIDNEYWEEK2024KIDNEY_WEEK_4565;
LAMZ administered for 5 weeks significantly improved both muscle strength and bone microarchitecture. The potential for an exercise mimetic is exciting for nephrologists and patients with CKD alike, as an alternative method to improve musculoskeletal health and quality of life.

These findings demonstrate that weight reduction may deteriorate the mortality risk in older patients with hypertension, and new lifestyle modification strategies for improving ADL, quality of life, and prognosis are warranted for older patients with hypertension. We assessed the association between BMI, handgrip strength, and risk of all-cause mortality to evaluate the validity of weight reduction in older patients with hypertension.

Clinical guideline, Journal: SEOM clinical guidelines for cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (2023). (Pubmed Central) - Oct 11, 2024 While pharmacological agents like megestrol acetate may be considered, their use requires careful evaluation of potential risks. At its core, this review underscores the imperative for a holistic and personalized approach to managing CACS, integrating nutritional interventions and pharmacological strategies based on a nuanced understanding of patient's condition.

Preclinical, Journal: Inducible and reversible SOD2 knockdown in mouse skeletal muscle drives impaired pyruvate oxidation and reduced metabolic flexibility. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 10, 2024 We use a model of inducible and reversible skeletal muscle SOD2 knockdown to demonstrate that elevated matrix superoxide reversibly impairs mitochondrial substrate flexibility characterized by impaired pyruvate oxidation. Despite the bioenergetic effect, the limited change in gene expression suggests that the elevated redox stress in this model is confined to the mitochondrial matrix.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Melatonin protects against sarcopenia in middle-aged mice. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 10, 2024
Despite the bioenergetic effect, the limited change in gene expression suggests that the elevated redox stress in this model is confined to the mitochondrial matrix. MEL attenuates sarcopenia in middle-aged mice, and the mechanism may relate to mitochondria-induced oxidative stress and the PGC-1?/TFAM pathway.

- |||||||||| Review, Journal: The connection between aging, cellular senescence and gut microbiome alterations: A comprehensive review. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2024
By exploring targeted interventions, including the development of senotherapeutic drugs and probiotic therapies, this review aims to shed light on novel therapeutic avenues. These strategies leverage the connection between cellular senescence and gut microbiome alterations to advance aging research and development of interventions aimed at extending health span and improving the quality of life in the older population.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Gut aging: A wane from the normal to repercussion and gerotherapeutic strategies. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2024
Notable therapeutic strategies such as Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine, and other health-promotion interventions have been reported in several studies to hold promise in mitigating age-related gut disorders. This review highlights findings across various facets of gut aging with a focus on aging-associated changes of intestinal stem cells and their niche components, thus a deviation from the normal to repercussion, as well as essential therapeutic strategies to mitigate intestinal aging.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Immunosuppression in adult liver transplant recipients: a 2024 update from the Italian Liver Transplant Working Group. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 9, 2024
This review highlights findings across various facets of gut aging with a focus on aging-associated changes of intestinal stem cells and their niche components, thus a deviation from the normal to repercussion, as well as essential therapeutic strategies to mitigate intestinal aging. The updated consensus- and evidence-based 2024 recommendations for immunosuppression regimens in adult patients with ABO-compatible LT address a range of clinical variables that should be considered to optimize the choice of the immunosuppression treatment in clinical practice in Italy.

Greater thigh muscle volume correlates with better brain volumes at midlife in people without sarcopenia, but this relationship weakens with greater age and BMI. Further study is required to investigate the underlying mechanisms to understand which components of body composition are potentially modifiable risk factors for dementia.
