Mediators and Patterns of Muscle Loss in Chronic Systemic Inflammation
Besides its primary function in locomotion, skeletal muscle (SKM), which represents up to half of human's weight, also plays a fundamental homeostatic role.

Cancer Cachexia Induces Preferential Skeletal Muscle Myosin Loss When Combined With Denervation
Patients with cancer cachexia (CCX) suffer from muscle wasting, which is often but not always accompanied by selective loss of myosin. Here we examined the effects of CCX on muscle mass and myosin heavy chain (MyHC) expression in denervated (DEN) muscles,

Metabolism in the tumor cell and beyond
The process of cellular transformation encompasses the acquisition of key and distinctive features, commonly known as hallmarks of cancer. These hallmarks are supported by tumor‐intrinsic molecular alterations, as well as changes in the microenvironment.

Testosterone treatment in chronic heart failure. Review of literature and future perspectives
Mounting evidence suggests that hormonal deficiencies (HD) have an important role in chronic heart failure (CHF). In particular, androgen depletion is common in men with CHF and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. This review summarizes

Background: In a previous report, we have identified the cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2) agonist HU308 to possess a beneficial effect in preventing age and trauma-induced osteoarthritis (OA) in mice. The effects of HU308 were largely related to the capacity

Integrative concept of homeostasis: translating physiology into medicine [PDF]
To truly understand living systems they must be viewed as a whole. In order to achieve this and to come to some law to which living systems obey, data obtained on cells, tissues and organs should be integrated.

Anabolic metabolism of carbon in mammals is mediated via the one- and two-carbon carriers S-adenosyl methionine and acetyl-coenzyme A. In contrast, anabolic metabolism of three-carbon units via propionate has not been shown to extensively occur.
