The age-associated loss of PhMNs involved predominantly larger PhMNs. These results are consistent with an age-related denervation of larger more fatigable DIAm motor units, which are required primarily for high-force airway clearance behaviors.

Review, Journal: Bone: best papers of the year 2017. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 15, 2019 Further studies are necessary to explore the role of VDR in the progression of sarcopenia. These papers offer a hopeful outlook for a better treatment and management of patients with osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases anno 2018.

Arterial hypertension, obesity of varying degrees, sarcopenia increased the risk of vitamin D deficiency in 1,15-1,17-1,2 (р<0,05-0,01) times, respectively. Oncological diseases in the anamnesis were accompanied by low parameters of vitamin 25(OH)D in blood serum (p=0,084).

CoreSlicer enables extraction of morphomic markers from CT images by non-technically skilled clinicians. Measurements were reproducible and accurate in relation to reference software.
- |||||||||| Journal: Potential Cellular and Biochemical Mechanisms of Exercise and Physical Activity on the Ageing Process. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 15, 2019
Specifically, exercise improves cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and metabolic health through reductions in oxidative stress, chronic low-grade inflammation and modulating cellular processes within a variety of tissues. In this this chapter we will discuss the effects of acute and chronic exercise on these processes and conditions in an ageing population, and how physical activity affects our vasculature, skeletal muscle function, our immune system, and cardiometabolic risk in older adults.

Evidence associating nutritional factors, particularly calcium and vitamin D are reviewed as are the association of falls risk with fracture and the potential for interventions to prevent falls. Finally, the assessment of frailty in the oldest old, associated sarcopenia and multi-morbidity are considered in the evaluation of fall and fracture risk and the management of osteoporosis in the ninth decade of life and beyond.

- |||||||||| Review, Journal: The Impact of Step Reduction on Muscle Health in Aging: Protein and Exercise as Countermeasures. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 11, 2019
Periodic activity, even in small quantities, and protein supplementation may serve as effective strategies to offset the loss of muscle mass with aging, specifically during periods of inactivity. The aim of this review is to examine the recent literature encompassing SR, as a model of inactivity, and to explore the capacity of nutrition and exercise interventions to mitigate adverse physiological changes as a result of SR.

Muscle radiographic density, which is inversely proportional to myofiber lipid content Muscle attenuation was negatively correlated to let-7f-5p, miR-30d-5p and miR-125b-5p expression. In-silico analysis implicates miRNAs related to strength and muscle size in the regulation of mammalian target of rapamycin, whist whilst miRNAs related to muscle radiographic densityattenuation may have potential roles regulating the transforming growth factor- β/SMAD3 pathway.

The lack of standardization of BIA use for assessing muscularity results in a wide range of sarcopenia prevalence rates among studies, even when conducted in the same population. As BIA equations and cut-off values are population and device-specific, results should be interpreted with caution when data from different devices are applied in equations or using cut-off values from a different population.
