Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 However, semantics aside, we think that DXA can indeed serve as a reference standard for measuring muscle mass. Obviously, CT and MRI are advanced techniques that can and have been used to obtain important information such as muscle size/volume and more ...

Pitfalls in the measurement of muscle mass: a need for a reference standard
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2018 Background All proposed definitions of sarcopenia include the measurement of muscle mass, but the techniques and threshold values used vary. Indeed, the literature does not establish consensus on the best technique for measuring lean body mass. Thus, the

The Influence Of Lean Body Mass In Pd Patients
Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2012 Nutrition is one of the important issues and edema will overestimate the real body weight among dialysis patients. Lean body mass might reflect the real nutrition status. Creatinine is the product of muscle metabolism, creatinine generation can reflect the lean body mass (LBM).

Scaling Peak Oxygen Consumption for Body Size and Composition in People With a Fontan Circulation
Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022 Background Peak oxygen consumption (peak V̇O2$$ \dot{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{O}}_2 $$) is traditionally divided (“ratio‐scaled”) by body mass (BM) for clinical interpretation.

Biomarkers of Animal Nutrition: From Seasonal to Lifetime Indicators of Environmental Conditions
Life, 2022 Nutrition underpins survival and reproduction in animal populations; reliable nutritional biomarkers are therefore requisites to understanding environmental drivers of population dynamics.

Body mass index: a measure of fatness or leanness? [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 1995 The relationship between body fat and stature-adjusted weight indices was explored. Assuming the term height2is a valid indicator of a subject's lean body mass, height2/weight was shown to be an accurate measure of percentage lean body mass and, as such, a better predictor of percentage body fat than the traditional body mass index (BMI; weight/height2)

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020 Background Adiposity is associated with larger left ventricular mass in children and adults. The role of body fat distribution in these associations is not clear.

Scientific Reports, 2021 In patients with short bowel syndrome, an elevated pre-resection Body Mass Index may be protective of post-resection body composition. We hypothesized that rats with diet-induced obesity would lose less lean body mass after undergoing massive small bowel

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Mutations in the C9orf72 gene represent the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neurodegenerative disease. Using patient‐derived neurons and C. elegans models, we find that the nucleoporin Nup107 is dysregulated in C9orf72‐associated ALS. Conversely, reducing Nup107 levels mitigates disease‐related changes.

Genomics‐led approach to drug testing in models of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.GA text Genomic data from undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patients and preclinical models were used to inform a targeted drug screen. Selected compounds were tested in 2D and 3D cultures of UPS cell lines. A combination of trametinib and infigratinib was synergistic in the majority of UPS cell lines tested, which was further confirmed in an ex ...
