Disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in disease and non-disease states in humans: mechanisms, prevention, and recovery strategies.

American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology, 2022
Decreased skeletal muscle contractile activity (disuse) or unloading leads to muscle mass loss, also known as muscle atrophy. The balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB) is the primary determinant of skeletal ...

Association between cognitive performance and cortical glucose metabolism in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease [PDF]

, 2005
Background: Neuronal and synaptic function in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is measured in vivo by glucose metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET). Objective: We hypothesized that neuronal activation as measured by PET is a more sensitive index of

Mechanisms of IGF-1-Mediated Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy and Atrophy

Cells, 2020
Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a key growth factor that regulates both anabolic and catabolic pathways in skeletal muscle. IGF-1 increases skeletal muscle protein synthesis via PI3K/Akt/mTOR and PI3K/Akt/GSK3β pathways. PI3K/Akt can also inhibit

Monomelic Atrophy [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1990
ABSTRACT:Weakness of distal muscles of one upper limb which progresses over 1 year and then appears to arrest (“monomelic amyotrophy”) has been reported mainly in Japan and India. We report 5 cases of a similar syndrome occurring in Canada. In our cases the wasting affected the forearm muscles of one upper limb (sparing brachioradialis and extensor ...
