Sarcopenia: Assessment of Muscle Mass [PDF]
The Journal of Nutrition, 1997 Despite general information that skeletal muscle mass is the largest organ in the body and despite increased awareness of the importance of skeletal muscle in biological function, methods and techniques for its routine assessment in humans are generally lacking.

Modifying muscle mass – the endocrine perspective [PDF]
Journal of Endocrinology, 2006 This review describes the major hormonal factors that determine the balance between human skeletal muscle anabolism and catabolism in health and disease, with specific reference to age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). The molecular mechanisms associated with muscle hypertrophy are described, and the central role of the satellite cell highlighted.

Signaling Pathways That Control Muscle Mass [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 The loss of skeletal muscle mass under a wide range of acute and chronic maladies is associated with poor prognosis, reduced quality of life, and increased mortality. Decades of research indicate the importance of skeletal muscle for whole body metabolism, glucose homeostasis, as well as overall health and wellbeing. This tissue’s remarkable ability to

Pectoralis muscle area and mortality in smokers without airflow obstruction
Respiratory Research, 2018 Background Low muscle mass is associated with increased mortality in the general population but its prognostic value in at-risk smokers, those without expiratory airflow obstruction, is unknown. We aimed to test the hypothesis that reduced muscle mass is

Lower Central Fat Increase Risk of One-Year Muscle Mass Loss in Menopausal Women
Mediators of Inflammation, 2020 Background. Hormonal changes had been found in menopausal women. Muscle and bone mass decline after menopause and with aging, increasing the risk for sarcopenia and osteoporosis in later life.

Low muscle mass, low muscle function, and sarcopenia in the urban and rural elderly
Scientific Reports, 2022 Health outcomes of the elderly vary between rural and urban areas. Sarcopenia is diagnosed as loss of muscle strength or impaired physical performance, namely “low muscle function” and low muscle mass.

Frequency and functional translation of low muscle mass in overweight and obese patients with COPD
Respiratory Research, 2021 Background Cut offs for fat-free mass index (FFMI) and appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) are available for diagnosing low muscle mass in patients with COPD. This study aimed to investigate: (1) the frequency of low muscle mass (FFMI and ASMI)

A primer on global molecular responses to exercise in skeletal muscle: Omics in focus
Journal of Sport and Health ScienceAdvances in skeletal muscle omics has expanded our understanding of exercise-induced adaptations at the molecular level. Over the past 2 decades, transcriptome studies in muscle have detailed acute and chronic responses to resistance, endurance, and ...

Noncoding RNAs regulating cardiac muscle mass [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2019 Noncoding RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs) play roles in the development and homeostasis of nearly every tissue of the body, including the regulation of processes underlying heart growth.
