Emerging role of TAK1 in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass
BioEssays, 2023AbstractMaintenance of skeletal muscle mass and strength throughout life is crucial for heathy living and longevity. Several signaling pathways have been implicated in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass in adults. TGF‐β‐activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is a key protein, which coordinates the activation of multiple signaling pathways.

Imaging of Skeletal Muscle Mass: Ultrasound
2023As the detection and monitoring of skeletal mass are of primary importance in clinical settings and the ones more related to human performance, the need to assess changes in muscle size quickly and reliably is still fundamental. Muscle ultrasound represents a cheap and user-friendly, yet robust and reliable, method to monitor muscle mass in different ...

A Possible Role of Skeletal Muscle‐Derived Adiponectin in the Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Mass
The FASEB Journal, 2017Aging‐associated severe skeletal muscle atrophy, so‐called sarcopenia, is considered as a risk factor for falls in older adults. Recent cohort studies shows high circulating adiponectin levels predict decreased muscle strength among older adults. Adiponectin, one of adipokines, is exclusively synthesized in adipocytes, is secreted into circulation ...

The increase in skeletal muscle mass in male and female mice
The Anatomical Record, 1973AbstractThe total mass of skeletal muscle in male and female mice of strain 129/Re was found by removing the muscle from the bones using papain. The total muscle mass of male and female mice of under three weeks of age was not significantly different.

Skeletal muscle mass in female athletes: The average and the extremes
American Journal of Human Biology, 2019AbstractObjectivesTo examine the absolute and relative skeletal muscle mass (SM) in female athletes and to discuss the potential upper limit of whole‐body muscle mass between large sized female and male athletes.MethodsForty‐five female athletes and forty‐five recreationally active females (control) had muscle thickness measured by ultrasound at nine ...

Factors related to skeletal muscle mass in the frail elderly
Odontology, 2016It is important for the elderly to maintain their skeletal muscle mass, which in turn helps to maintain physical functions. This study aimed to clarify factors related to skeletal muscle mass maintenance. Home-bound elderly (94 men and 216 women), at least 75 years of age, attending a day-care center in Tokyo, were enrolled in this study.

Alteration in skeletal muscle mass in women with subclinical hypercortisolism
Endocrine, 2018Despite the well-known deleterious effects of cortisol on skeletal muscle, whether subtle cortisol excess in subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) affects skeletal muscle mass is unknown. Our objective was to understand the effects of the cortisol level on skeletal muscle mass in patients with SH.We compared skeletal muscle mass and fat mass (FM) between ...

[Skeletal muscle mass in institutionalized elderly].
Harefuah, 2010Increased longevity raises the proportion of elderly individuals in a population, and thereby, the number of individuals suffering from frailty. Frailty is associated with loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia), which stems from an imbalance between muscle protein synthesis and degradation.

Role of IGF-I in skeletal muscle mass maintenance
Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2009The recent identification of signaling elements that regulate skeletal muscle protein balance has provided the opportunity to determine how IGF-I alters these processes. Animal studies have revealed the important role of IGF-I in preventing muscle atrophy and enabled investigators to determine the hierarchy of signaling pathways and events within each ...

The influence of aging and sex on skeletal muscle mass and strength
Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, 2001This brief review examines the influence of aging on skeletal muscle mass and strength and specifically highlights sex-related differences. It is well established that aging is associated with a significant decline in muscle strength that becomes functionally important by the seventh decade of life.
