Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

A Low Psoas Muscle Index Was Associated With a Poorer Overall Survival in Patients Who Underwent Percutaneous Nephrostomy

open access: yesAging and Cancer, EarlyView.
In patients with malignant ureteral obstruction undergoing percutaneous nephrostomy, sarcopenia defined by a low psoas muscle index was independently associated with poor overall survival on multivariate Cox regression analysis, suggesting that preoperative assessment of psoas muscle index may aid prognostic stratification in this population.

Prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with chronic kidney disease: a global systematic review and meta‐analysis

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
Sarcopenia is a risk factor for adverse clinical outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, including mortality. Diagnosis depends on adopted consensus definition and cutoff values; thus, prevalence rates are generally heterogeneous. We conducted

An elusive consensus definition of sarcopenia impedes research and clinical treatment: a narrative review.

open access: yesAgeing Research Reviews, 2023
The definition of sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, has evolved since the term's inception and yet there is no consensus. Many of the identified definitions of sarcopenia centre their criteria around the loss of muscle mass, loss of ...

Sarcopenia and Aging [PDF]

open access: yesNutrition Reviews, 2003
Sarcopenia refers to the gradual decline in muscle mass and quality noted with advancing age. There is growing evidence linking sarcopenia to functional disability, falls, decreased bone density, glucose intolerance, and decreased heat and cold tolerance in older adults.

The role of myostatin during postnatal myogenesis and sarcopenia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Myostatin, a TGF-β superfamily member, is a key negative regulator of embryonic and postnatal muscle growth. In order to further elucidate the role of myostatin during postnatal growth, several lines of investigation were undertaken in mice.

Sarcopenia is Related to Increased Risk for Low Bone Mineral Density

open access: yes, 2014
Lean body mass is positively correlated with bone mineral density (BMD). The association between sarcopenia and BMD is less studied. The aim of the study is to investigate the association between sarcopenia and abnormal BMD.
