Skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength in relation to lower-extremity perfor- mance in older men and women. J Am Geriatr Soc 2000; 48:381e6.VISSER, M., DEEG, D. J., LIPS, P., HARRIS, T. B. & BOUTER, L. M. 2000. Skeletal muscle mass and muscle strength in relation to lower...
Skeletal muscle makes up 40% of our body mass, is essential for movement and has pivotal roles in metabolism and immune regulation1,2,3. The major components of skeletal muscle, the multinucleated myofibers (MFs), are classified into ‘slow-twitch’ (type I) and ‘fast-twitch’ (type IIA...
Skeletal muscle mass adjusted by height correlated better with muscular functions than that adjusted by body weight in defining sarcopenia. Sci Rep 2016;6:19457.Han, D.S.; Chang, K.V.; Li, C.M.; Lin, Y.H.; Kao, T.W.; Tsai, K.S.; Wang, T.G.; Yang, W.S. Skeletal muscle ...
Muscle makes up ~ 47–60% of lean body mass in men and women and is one of the greatest contributors to whole body energy expenditure [1]. Therefore, maintaining skeletal muscle health is critical to maintaining health and longevity throughout the lifetime. Various pathological conditions, su...
Chronic stimulation of βARs with β-agonists has long been known to cause a “repartitioning effect,” decreasing body fat while increasing skeletal muscle mass (15). This has led to extensive study of β-agonists as a potential therapeutic for muscle wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy...
skeletal muscle growth; IL6 and TNF-α at low levels has been shown to cause satellite cell proliferation and differentiation (Li2003; Kurosaka and Machida2013), therefore it is likely that the effect of systemic inflammation on muscle mass and function during ageing may only occur when it ...
Tensiongenerated by contraction is transmitted through the focal densities to the surrounding network of external laminae, thus allowing a mass of smooth muscle cells to function as one unit. The abundantintermediate filamentsof smooth muscle,desmin, are also inserted into the focal densities. ...
Gynoid lean muscle mass as mediator between menarche age, hand grip and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women Miyang Xu ,Chenhao Qiu &Xiongfeng Li Article 23 April 2025|Open Access Acute muscle excitation response across various bench press ranges of motion ...
Lifting weights increases muscle mass. 6 Muscular Physically strong or robust. The muscular effort required for climbing is significant. 6 Muscle The muscular system, as a collective group of muscles. Regular exercise strengthens the muscle system. 5 Muscular Referring to a powerful force. The new...
The appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was estimated using a previously validated anthropometric equation. The information on the survival status was requested from the local government registries during the 4 year follow-up period following the baseline investigation. The mean muscle mass index (...
