Acute skeletal muscle wasting in critical illness.
IMPORTANCE Survivors of critical illness demonstrate skeletal muscle wasting with associated functional impairment. OBJECTIVE To perform a comprehensive prospective characterization of skeletal muscle wasting, defining the pathogenic roles of altered protein synthesis and breakdown. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Sixty-three critically ill patients (59% male; mean age: 54.7 years [95% CI...
متن کاملMuscle wasting and changes in muscle protein metabolism in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Loss of skeletal muscle mass is now recognised as an important feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which contributes to symptoms and influences prognosis. The changes in skeletal muscle remain poorly understood, largely because only a few studies have been performed to define the adaptations in whole body and muscle protein metabolism in COPD. The first sections of this revi...
متن کاملMuscle wasting and impaired muscle regeneration in a murine model of chronic pulmonary inflammation.
Muscle wasting and increased circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-alpha, are common features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To investigate whether inflammation of the lung is responsible for systemic inflammation and muscle wasting, we adopted a mouse model of pulmonary inflammation resulting from directed overexpression of a TNF-alpha transgene controlled by t...
متن کاملThe Role of microRNA in Cancer Cachexia and Muscle Wasting: A Review Article
Almost half of cancer patients experience cachexia syndrome. Cachexic patients are at risk of increased side effects of chemotherapy, reduced tolerance to chemotherapy drugs, longer duration of treatment period, and decreased quality of life. Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome. Micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA), a “non-coding RNA”, is considered to be a risk factor of cachexia and muscle...
متن کاملMuscle Wasting and IL - 6
Muscle wasting is a common feature of systemic inflammation and malignant diseases. The primary cause is accelerated proteolysis. Protein degradation was found to be accelerated by IL-6 with activation of intracellular proteases in C2C12 myotubes. IL-6 transgenic mice displayed extensive muscle wasting together with an increase of proteolytic pathways. The increase in activities and mRNA levels...
