Low Muscle Mass Is Associated with Readmission for Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease tend to have malnutrition, frailty, and low muscle mass, which impact on poor clinical outcomes. Abdominal computed tomography is frequently used to assess body composition. This study aimed to evaluate the association of low muscle mass and readmission within 1 year in patients with inflammatory ...

Upper Limb Muscle–Bone Asymmetries and Bone Adaptation in Elite Youth Tennis Players [PDF]
Introduction: The study of tennis players allows the nonracket arm to act as an internal control for the exercising racket arm. In addition, the study of the upper limbs removes the influence of gravitational loading, allowing the examination of the ...

The prospective relationship between low muscle mass and thyroid hormones among 198,069 euthyroid men and women; comparing different definitions of low muscle mass [PDF]
The impact of thyroid hormones within normal range on muscle mass remains unknown. We examined the association between new onset of low muscle mass (LMM) and thyroid hormones among euthyroid men and women with three different definitions of LMM in prospective cohort study.We performed a cohort study of 198 069 Korean adults (mean age of 39.2 years ...

ASSOCIATION OF LOW MUSCLE MASS AND ISOKINETIC STRENGTH WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Background and objectives Sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase incidence with age. This study evaluated the prevalence of MetS in middle-age to elderly men according to knee and grip strength and muscle mass. Methods Data from 256 males aged 40–69 years were analyzed.

Skeletal muscle mTORC1 regulates whole-body metabolism [PDF]
Skeletal muscle, which represents over 40% of the total body mass, is a dynamic tissue with a key role in the maintenance of metabolic homeostasis. Several lines of evidence indicate that alterations of the normal muscle function, as for example in ...

Advances in research on the prenatal development of skeletal muscle in animals in relation to the quality of muscle-based food. I - Regulation of myogenesis and environmental impact [PDF]
Skeletal muscle development in vertebrates – also termed myogenesis – is a highly integrated process. Evidence to date indicates that the processes are very similar across mammals, poultry and fish, although the timings of the various steps differ ...

Dietary Protein Intake and Peritoneal Protein Losses in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
ABSTRACT Introduction Peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients lose protein in their waste dialysate, potentially increasing their risk for malnutrition. We wished to determine whether there was any association between losses and dietary protein intake (DPI). Methods DPI was assessed from 24‐h dietary recall using Nutrics software.

Regulation of skeletal muscle plasticity by the transcriptional coregulators PGC-1α and NCoR1 [PDF]
Skeletal muscle plasticity is regulated by a wide range of factors, among which environmental stimuli such as exercise play a central role. Importantly, changes in skeletal muscle phenotype exert a direct impact on health and risk to premature death.
