The review concludes by outlining promising future directions in this field, calling for deeper exploration of specific oxidative stress markers, understanding the temporal dynamics of oxidative stress, validation through translational studies in humans, and the development of targeted therapeutic interventions. By advancing our understanding of the intricate relationship between oxidative stress and skeletal muscle atrophy, this review contributes to paving the way for innovative strategies to address muscle wasting and improve muscle health.

Unfortunately, there is no standardized cure, apart from doing more physical activity and embracing a balanced diet, but newly discovered substances start being considered. In this review, authors try to give an overview addressing principal pathways of sarcopenia and offer critical features of various possible interventions.

Review, Journal: MicroRNA-155 mediates endogenous angiotensin II type 1 receptor regulation: implications for innovative type 2 diabetes mellitus management. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 29, 2023 In contrast to RAAS inhibitor treatments that further decrease already reduced miR-155 Levels, strategies to increase an ailing miR-155 production in T2DM, e.g., the use of metformin, mineralocorticoid receptor blockers (spironolactone, eplerenone, finerenone), and verapamil, alone or in various combinations, represent current treatment options. In the future, direct tissue delivery of miRNA analogs is likely.

In a predominantly female cohort of patients without flow-limiting coronary artery disease, deficient muscularity, not excess adiposity, was independently associated with CMD and future adverse outcomes, especially heart failure. In patients with suspected ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease, characterization of lean body mass and coronary microvascular function may help to distinguish obese phenotypes at risk for cardiovascular events.

However, it acknowledges the limitations of these models and systems, including inefficiencies in handling large volumes of medical data and the lack of dynamic selection capability. In conclusion, the paper provides a comprehensive summary of current sarcopenia research, emphasizing the potential of modern technologies in enhancing the detection and management of the condition while also highlighting the need for further research to address challenges in standardization, data management, and effective technology use.

This review article will discuss the pathophysiology and risk factors of muscle and bone loss after SCI, including the mechanisms that may lead to muscle and bone loss after SCI. This review will also focus on current and future pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies for reducing or eliminating neurogenic bone loss following SCI.

Nutritional intervention may have a positive effect on LM and FFM. Future research should focus on standardizing the terminology and methodologies used in assessing body composition and investigating sarcopenia in diseased and matched healthy control cohorts in adequately powered studies with a longitudinal design.

Our findings suggested that the definition of probable sarcopenia identified by not standard, but population-specific thresholds more reliably predicted longitudinal deterioration of functionality in older outpatients. This finding might be considered as evidence supporting the use of population-specific cut-offs when the concern is sarcopenia diagnosis.

Our study suggests the importance of assessing for muscle loss in conjunction with lung function decline when evaluating individuals with tobacco exposure. The phase angle was associated with sarcopenic obesity, and the cutoff values of the phase angle that could predict sarcopenic obesity were 4.29

This study suggests that in KTR, higher coffee consumption is associated with increased adiposity, specially, central adiposity and lower muscle quality, but is not related with the other evaluated parameters. Longitudinal evaluation of sarcopenia expression and the underlying physiological and lifestyle factors contributing to pediatric sarcopenia are important to understand to ensure effective rehabilitation strategies can be developed and to avoid the adverse clinical consequences in children.
