The Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form was used to assess nutritional status; dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure the skeletal muscle mass index, and the cut-off values for decreased skeletal muscle mass index were based on the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia; the ...
The change in myostatin-to-follistatin ratio was associated with the change in skeletal muscle mass-to-fat mass ratio (R2 = 0.176; p = 0.026). Decreased myostatin was positively correlated with reductions in total cholesterol (R2 = 0.193; p = 0.012), LDL-C (R2 = ...
Muscle weights were reduced (-13% on day 30 of age, -14% on day 72), which resulted from slower growth of myofibers in size but not from decreases in myofiber number. The reduction in muscle mass was associated with lower total DNA, RNA, and protein contents as well as greater DNA/...
The pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and the percentage of primiparas were significantly higher, whereas the gesta- tional age at delivery and the fetal birth weight were significantly lower in the preeclamptic group than in the control group. ...

Lordokyphosis and the loss of subcutaneous fat and skeletal muscle mass are prominent features of aging. In addition, primary FCs from Tg mice showed elevated levels of senescence-associated β-galactosidase, compared with those from age-matched WT mice (Figure 2H). Thus, these results suggest ...
The association between hand grip strength and rehabilitation outcome in post-acute hip fractured patients Various factors have been shown to affect the rehabilitation outcome of hip fractured patients. Considering the decrease in muscle mass with aging and its ... A Hershkovitz,B Yichayaou,A Ronen...
Heterozygous HNF1A gene mutations can cause maturity onset diabetes of the young 3 (MODY3), characterized by insulin secretion defects. However, specific mechanisms of MODY3 in humans remain unclear due to lack of access to diseased human pancreatic cell
Cyclophilin A (CyPA), a cyclosporine A-binding protein, influences abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation and the ERK1/2 signalling pathway in animal and in vitro studies. Statins decrease CyPA in smooth muscle cells although their influence on CyPA in human AAA is unknown. Material and metho...
