Muscle Changes During Atrophy

2018
Muscle atrophy typically is a direct effect of protein degradation induced by a diversity of pathophysiologic states such as disuse, immobilization, denervation, aging, sepsis, cachexia, glucocorticoid treatment, hereditary muscular disorders, cancer, diabetes and obesity, kidney and heart failure, and others.

Mechanisms of skeletal muscle atrophy

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2006
Recent clinical and mechanistic studies have shown that increased proteolysis is a major determinant of muscle wasting in numerous catabolic states and of alterations in myopathies or dystrophies. The implications of these observations for improving muscle mass and function are discussed.Several proteolytic systems (i.e. the ubiquitin-proteasome system,

Imaging Patterns of Muscle Atrophy

Seminars in Musculoskeletal Radiology, 2018
AbstractThe role of muscle imaging in the diagnosis of inherited and acquired muscle diseases has gained clinical relevance. In particular, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used for diagnostic purposes, especially with its capability of whole-body musculature assessment.

Glucocorticoid-induced skeletal muscle atrophy

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2013
Many pathological states characterized by muscle atrophy (e.g., sepsis, cachexia, starvation, metabolic acidosis and severe insulinopenia) are associated with an increase in circulating glucocorticoids (GC) levels, suggesting that GC could trigger the muscle atrophy observed in these conditions. GC-induced muscle atrophy is characterized by fast-twitch,

An Overview of Muscle Atrophy

2018
Muscle is the most abundant tissue in human body, and it can be atrophy when synthesis is inferior to degradation. Muscle atrophy is prevalent as it is a complication of many diseases. Besides its devastating effects on health, it also decreases life quality and increases mortality as well.

Physical Exercise for Muscle Atrophy

2018
The most direct characteristic of muscle atrophy is reduction in muscle mass, which is due to increased protein degradation or reduced protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. The loss of muscle mass can directly affect the quality of daily life, prolong the recovery period, and become the main risk factor for chronic diseases. However, there is currently

Noncoding RNAs in Muscle Atrophy

2018
Denervation, disuse, fasting, and various diseases could induce skeletal muscle atrophy, which results in the decline of life quality and increase of the mortality risk for patients. Noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) are implicated important in regulating gene expression.

Muscle Atrophy: Present and Future

2018
Muscle atrophy is the loss of muscle mass and strength, and it occurs in many diseases, such as cancer, AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), congestive heart failure, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), renal failure, and severe burns.

Disuse Atrophy of Muscle

Archives of Neurology, 1970
DENERVATION of striated muscle leads to characteristic histological, histochemical, physiological, and pharmacological changes which have been ascribed to the loss of a trophic influence of nerve on muscle. The exact nature of this trophic effect has not been determined, although the release of acetylcholine at the motor end-plate seems necessary to ...
