Pharmacology of manipulating lean body mass [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014 SummaryDysfunction and wasting of skeletal muscle as a consequence of illness decreases the length and quality of life. Currently, there are few, if any, effective treatments available to address these conditions. Hence, the existence of this unmet medical need has fuelled large scientific efforts.

Lean mass as a risk factor for intensive care unit admission: an observational study
Critical Care, 2021 Purpose Intensive care unit (ICU) survivors have reduced physical function likely due to skeletal muscle wasting and weakness acquired during critical illness. However, the contribution of pre-morbid muscle mass has not been elucidated.

Body Composition of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients
Journal of Renal and Hepatic Disorders, 2021 With accelerated muscle proteolysis, a decrease in muscle mass is evident in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. This eventually leads to nutritional disturbance that for a long has been mostly attributed to malnutrition.

Serum Creatinine and Fat-free Mass (Lean Body Mass) [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 2000 Serum creatinine is widely used as an index of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (1). However, it is not a sensitive index because GFR may have to decrease by >50% before serum creatinine becomes “abnormal”, and this may be at least partly attributable to the wide reference interval for serum creatinine (44–124 μmol/L).

Associations between anthropometric characteristics and physical performance in male law enforcement officers: A retrospective cohort study [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Police officers are often required to undertake physically demanding tasks, like lifting, dragging and pursuing a suspect. Therefore, physical performance is a key requirement. METHODS: Retrospective data for 76 male police officers (mean age
