Therefore, the aim of the current study was to investigate whether the temporal muscle thickness (TMT) or area (TMA) could serve as a surrogate marker for measuring skeletal muscle mass. Methods: This retrospective chart review study was conducted on 244 participants from March 20...
This study investigated the role of low skeletal muscle mass (sarcopenia), muscle quality, and the sarcopenic obesity as prognostic factors for postoperative complications and survival in patients with resectable colon cancer. We conducted a retrospective chart review of 91 consecutive patients who ...
A bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to evaluate skeletal muscle mass. The annual rate of change (%/year) in two tests were compared between patients with CH and LC. The annual rates of change in grip strength and skeletal muscle of arms, trunk, and legs of patients with CH and LC...
Obestatin/GPR39 signaling stimulates skeletal muscle growth and repair by inducing both G-protein-dependent and -independent mechanisms linking the activated GPR39 receptor with distinct sets of accessory and effector proteins. In this work, we describe

Mouse muscle plasma membranes Mouse gastrocnemius muscles were dissected and trimmed of extraneous tissue, cut into two ~ 100 mg pieces (wet tissue mass), and flash frozen in liquid nitrogen. To prepare for co-IP, one piece of frozen gastrocnemius muscle was very finely minced with a razor bl...
During dynamic exercise with a large muscle mass, sustained until a steady state is reached, HR increases in direct proportion to incremental dynamic exercise intensity, although in some individuals HR is reported to level off at the highest workloads. With increased age, a reduction in β-adrener...
A previous study revealed that the overexpression of FST-I-I with an intact N terminus and double FSI domain increased skeletal muscle mass in mice, whereas the overexpression of FST with an N-terminal deletion had no effect on muscle quality.13 Based on this finding, we subsequently aimed ...
1 The age-related loss of skeletal mass, strength, and function. a–c, Comparisons of body weight (a), lean mass (%) (b), and quadriceps (quad) muscle weight (c) between young (n = 9) and old (n = 5) mice. d, e, Representative images of quad muscle cross-sections ...
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are often characterized by impairment of both skeletal and cardiac muscle. Regenerative strategies for both compartments therefore constitute a therapeutic avenue. Mesodermal iPSC-derived progenitors (MiPs) can regenerate both
