Relationship of menopause to skeletal and muscle mass

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1991
Cross-sectional and longitudinal changes in body composition with age were examined in white women to determine the relationship of body cell mass to menopause and of body fat to bone mass. There was statistical evidence for a curvilinear component to loss of total body potassium with negligible rates of loss before menopause. Longitudinal measurements

Change of skeletal muscle mass in patients with pheochromocytoma

Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2018
The effects of catecholamine excess due to pheochromocytoma on body composition, including skeletal muscle mass, are unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of catecholamine metabolites on body composition in subjects with pheochromocytoma. After body compositions using bioelectrical impedance analysis, urinary metanephrine (UM), and urinary ...

Skeletal-muscle haemangioma presenting as an abdominal mass

The British Journal of Radiology, 1986
Skeletal-muscle haemangiomas are relatively common lesions and are usually regarded as representing congenital vascular hamartomas. They constitute 0.8% of all haemangiomas (Chauhan & Baird, 1973). Only 8% of the cases in the literature were diagnosed pre-operatively (Scott, 1957).

mTORC1 and the regulation of skeletal muscle anabolism and mass

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 2012
The mass and integrity of skeletal muscle is vital to whole-body substrate metabolism and health. Indeed, defects in muscle metabolism and functions underlie or exacerbate diseases like diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer. Physical activity and nutrition are the 2 most important environmental factors that can affect muscle health.

Relapsing-remitting painful masses of the skeletal muscle

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2019
A 59-year-old male patient complained, from age 36, of insidious appearance in several weeks of a circumscribed painful mass, single or multiple, under the skin with hard consistency on palpation. At first, these masses were localised on sural aspect of the legs, thereafter on arms, thighs and, occasionally, on trunk and face.

Molecular regulation of skeletal muscle mass

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2010
Summary1. The maintenance of skeletal muscle mass is determined by a fine balance between protein synthesis and protein degradation. Skeletal mass is increased when there is a net gain in protein synthesis, which can occur following progressive exercise training.

Correlation between skeletal calcium mass and muscle mass in man

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1975
The measurements of total body potassium (TBK) and calcium (TBCa) were made on 317 subjects by the techniques of whole-body counting and total-body neutron activation analysis (TBNAA), respectively. The TBK/TBCa ratios are constant for normals over the age range studied.

Mechanisms of Skeletal Muscle Mass Regulation and Muscle Memory

Acta Physiologica
ABSTRACT Changes in muscle mass and force are mainly related to changes in fiber size. In eukaryotes, DNA‐content and cell size are generally correlated, suggesting the existence of a DNA‐template limitation. This might be particularly important in the skeletal muscle fiber syncytia, which contain 30%–50% less DNA per cytoplasmic ...

Renal cell carcinoma presenting as skeletal muscle mass

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 1984
AbstractSolitary muscle tumor, representing the first manifestation of metastatic renal cell carcinoma, is rare. A case report of a tumor mass in the left posteromedial arm, which proved to be metastatic from the right kidney, is presented. The incidence of this condition among patients presenting as a soft tissue sarcoma may be about 1%.

Skeletal muscle mass is controlled by the MRF4–MEF2 axis

Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition & Metabolic Care, 2018
The review is focused on the unexpected role of myogenic regulatory factor 4 (MRF4) in controlling muscle mass by repressing myocyte enhancer binding factor 2 (MEF2) activity in adult skeletal muscle, and on the emerging role of MEF2 in skeletal muscle growth.The MRF4s of the MyoD family (MyoD, MYF5, MRF4, myogenin) and the MEF2 factors are known to ...
