The AKT Pathway and Satellite Cell Activation in Skeletal Muscle Mass Regulation
Folia Medica Indonesiana, 2022 Highlight: • AKT or protein kinase B increase protein synthesis and control the degradation of proteins. • Satellite cells was provided remarkable ability to regenerate skeletal muscle. • Stimulation of protein synthesis is effective therapy to maintain

The role of mTORC1 in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass
Faculty Reviews, 2022 Skeletal muscle mass is a very plastic characteristic of skeletal muscle and is regulated by signaling pathways that control the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes. The serine/threonine kinase mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has been shown to be critically important in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass through its ...

Feasibility of using chest computed tomography (CT) imaging at the first lumbar vertebra (L1) level to assess skeletal muscle mass: a retrospective study [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Skeletal muscle mass is an essential parameter for diagnosing sarcopenia. The gold standard for assessing skeletal muscle mass is using computed tomography (CT) to measure skeletal muscle area at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) level.

Lipid modulation of skeletal muscle mass and function
Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, 2016 AbstractLoss of skeletal muscle mass is a characteristic feature of various pathologies including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, as well as being a general feature of ageing. However, the processes underlying its pathogenesis are not fully understood and may involve multiple factors.

MICU3 regulates mitochondrial Ca2+-dependent antioxidant response in skeletal muscle aging
Cell Death and Disease, 2021 Age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, termed sarcopenia, could impair the quality of life in the elderly. The mechanisms involved in skeletal muscle aging are intricate and largely unknown.

Age and Ageing, 2022 AbstractBackgroundSarcopenia is assessed by several methods, including dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), which provide a height-adjusted skeletal muscle index (H-SMI). A SMI 2 standard deviation below the young adult reference [1] combined with low muscle strength or performance is used to identify sarcopenia.
