Abstract:
Evidence is growing that diet, lifestyle factors and chronic inflammation influence sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the progressive decline of muscle mass, strength and function that occurs with healthy ageing. The ageing process is also associated with a gradual increasing production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may potentially enhance the development of sarcopenia. Dietary longitudinal studies have shown associations between protein intake and muscle mass in older people but results of supplementation studies in enhancing muscle mass and strength are equivocal. Additionally, short-term die

Abstract:
The loss of muscle mass with age (Sarcopenia) has received growing attention over the past decade. Despite efforts to provide a universal definition with clinically meaningful cut-off points for diagnosis, there is no clear consensus on how to best quantify and assess the impact of loss of muscle mass and function on functional limitations. Whilst most previous studies have used dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to quantify this loss, chapter 2 of this thesis shows that DXA underestimates the loss of muscle mass with age in comparison to the gold standard MRI.

Abstract:
The worldwide prevalence of overweight and obesity continues to rise and will soon place unsustainable demands on the healthcare systems of most developed nations. Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass, is commonly exacerbated in overweight/obese individuals causing loss of function and independence. Accordingly, a critical goal for overweight/obese adults is to lose fat mass while preserving lean mass to prevent the deleterious effects of inactivity and age-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract:
Protein degradation in skeletal muscle cells is essentially mediated by the activity of two highly conserved pathways, the ubiquitin-proteasome and the autophagy-lysosome pathway. In the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, target proteins are conjugated to multiple ubiquitin moieties and ubiquitin-tagged proteins are degraded within the proteasome complex (Lecker et al., 2006; Mammucari et al., 2007). The ubiquitin-proteasome system is constitutively active in normal skeletal muscle and is responsible for the turnover of most soluble and myofibrillar muscle proteins. In the autophagy-lysosome sy

Abstract:
The skeletal muscle accounts for almost 40% of total body mass and represents a major site of metabolic activity. Skeletal muscle is a dynamic tissue: exercise and hormonal stimulation lead to an increase in protein synthesis and fiber size, a process called hypertrophy. Conversely, the loss of muscle mass, named atrophy, is the result of an increase in protein degradation. Muscle atrophy can occur in several pathological conditions like cancer, diabetes, chronic heart failure, AIDS, and during aging. Mitochondria play a key role in muscle homeostasis, because they provide its high energy de

Low skeletal muscle has already become one of important topic for ages healthy, but this syndrome may happen to the young people who body fat ratio too high. This study expects examining low skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) through Anthropometric and biochemical values, which are more accessible and economical. Aim to find out which body position indexes or biochemical indexes are able to evaluate skeletal muscle mass. Method: Use 2001-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

Abstract:
Background/Objectives: Individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) experience reductions in lower-extremity muscle mass and increased fatty-infiltration of skeletal muscle, predisposing them to an increased risk of specific secondary health conditions. To date, few investigations have prospectively examined changes in muscle in the chronic stage of SCI. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) is an imaging technique capable of measuring lower-extremity skeletal muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) and muscle density, the latter is a surrogate measure of muscle fatty infiltration.

Abstract:
Although life expectancy is increasing, this often comes at the cost of declining health through an increased incidence of cancer, cardiovascular disease and arthritis in older age. In addition, a decline in muscular performance is commonly observed with increasing age, combining a loss of skeletal muscle (‘sarcopenia’), a decrease in muscle oxidative capacity and a reduction in muscle strength. Research has shown that it is possible to arrest, or even reverse, the changes in muscle mass and oxidative capacity that occur with age. Two of the most successful strategies identified to date in th

碩士<br>國防醫學院<br>公共衛生學研究所<br>106<br>Background: Sarcopenia is the degenerative loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength associated with aging; neurodegenerative diseases and sleep may affect the development of sarcopenia. Abnormal metabolism of homocysteine (Hcy) leads to poor sleep and increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. In this regard, the relationship between Hcy and its metabolic-related nutrients (vitamins B-2, B-6, B-12 and folate) with sarcopenia may be relevant. Aim: To assess whether the Hcy metabolic pathway or its related nutrients are associated with skeletal muscle ma

Abstract:
The modern obesogenic lifestyle encompasses an environment that promotes weight gain in the form of body fat accumulation. Genetic variations can predispose some individuals to be more susceptible to developing obesity in a similar environment (Hainer et al. 2000; Maes et al. 1997; Mustelin et al. 2009). As the prevalence of obesity increases worldwide, and becomes a substantial socioeconomic issue, the need for research that deepens our understanding of the underlying genetic influences on complex regulatory mechanisms governing energy homeostasis becomes increasingly necessary.

Abstract:
Potassium (K+) regulation during exercise is vital in preserving muscle membrane excitability, a failure of which has been linked to muscle fatigue. This thesis investigated the regulation of arterial and venous plasma K+ concentration ([K+]) during and following intense exercise and its importance for exercise performance, muscular force and excitability via three interventional studies, comparing two- versus one-legged cycling (Study 1), acute oral digoxin versus placebo intake (Study 2), and high-intensity intermittent training versus non-training control (Study 3).

Abstract:
As the age increases, the physical fitness of seniors decreases. This shows the fragility of their body. Managing everyday activities becomes increasingly more difficult for them. Result of this is reduced self-sufficiency of the seniors, which leads to reduced mobility and to the greater loss of muscle mass and higher dependence on professional care. Aging is accompanied by loss of muscle mass and muscle strength - sarcopenia. This is one of the main causes of geriatric fragility. Sarcopenia presents a serious health problem with both social and economic consequences. The term sarcopenia (fro

Abstract:
Chemotherapy is an effective first-line cancer-treatment to slow or even cure cancer. Despite it being widely used to treat a variety of cancers, the majority of agents used induce a myriad of serious sequalae. Recently, chemotherapy emerged as a key contributing factor to the induction of devastating wasting condition, cachexia. Cachexia involves the progressive loss of body mass, underscored by severe skeletal muscle wasting and dysfunction (skeletal myopathy). Unravelling the molecular mechanisms involved in the onset and persistence of chemotherapy-induced cachexia represents a complex sci
