متن کاملInflammatory markers and loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) and strength.
PURPOSE The objective of this study was to investigate whether high levels of serum interleukin (IL)-6, C-reactive protein (CRP), and alpha1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) were associated with the loss of muscle strength or muscle mass (sarcopenia) in older persons. SUBJECTS The study included 986 men and women of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam, with a mean age of 74.6 years (standard deviati...
متن کاملSymposium: Sarcopenia: Diagnosis and Mechanisms Sarcopenia: Assessment of Muscle Mass
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. One important reason for the paucity of assessment tools is the relative lack of direct data on anatomical skeletal muscle mass in hum...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle loss: cachexia, sarcopenia, and inactivity.
Loss of skeletal muscle mass occurs during aging (sarcopenia), disease (cachexia), or inactivity (atrophy). This article contrasts and compares the metabolic causes of loss of muscle resulting from these conditions. An understanding of the underlying causes of muscle loss is critical for the development of strategies and therapies to preserve muscle mass and function. Loss of skeletal muscle pr...
متن کاملLoss of muscle mass: current developments in cachexia and sarcopenia focused on biomarkers and treatment
Loss of muscle mass arises from an imbalance of protein synthesis and protein degradation. Potential triggers of muscle wasting and function are immobilization, loss of appetite, dystrophies and chronic diseases as well as aging. All these conditions lead to increased morbidity and mortality in patients, which makes it a timely matter to find new biomarkers to get a fast clinical diagnosis and ...
