We demonstrate the significance of measuring not only the mass of the muscle, but also its density, as it has a valid association with metabolic parameters, including BMI and lipid level, even in healthy indivi
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...
On the basis of the research conducted, it is suggested that the intake of a wide range of food products, ensuring an appropriate supply of necessary nutrients related to the maintenance of proper muscle mass, is important in the prevention and treatment of muscle mass loss14. Hormonal disorders...
Muscle tissue has multiple functions, including maintaining body posture and collaborating with the skeletal system to support movement, and muscle loss may increase the risk of fall, osteoporosis and fracture [12]. Skeletal mass index (SMI) is calculated by dividing the skeletal muscle content of ...
Objective: A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between CC and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), and the ASM index (ASMI), as well as to determine whether CC could be used to diagnose sarcopenia. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 247 older black women ...
<sec>ObjectiveTo investigate the value of third lumbar skeletal muscle mass index (L3-SMI) in predicting the long-term prognosis of patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and to provide a useful tool for prognostic sc
The plasma glucose level of each participant was confirmed to be within the normal range (3.89–5.55 mmol/l) before an FDG injection was administered. After performing sufficient warm-up exercises, the participants threw a total of 40 fast balls to a catcher at maximal effort, on the mound...
A Skeletal-Muscle Pump refers to the mechanism during dynamic exercise where rhythmic contractions of muscles help enhance venous return by squeezing blood back towards the heart, leading to a reduction in total peripheral resistance and contributing to the regulation of blood pressure. ...
920P The sarcopenia skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) has a three-tier survival effect in HNSCC, which can be predicted by hemoglobin (Hb), lymphocytes (Ly) and creatinine (Cre) Author links open overlay panelS. Guerriero 1, C. Morelli 1, M. Rofei 1, S. Riondino 1, R. Argirò 2, ...
We measured the skeletal muscle area and calculated the SMI value (Fig. 1). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) determines the optimal cut-off points for SMI (44.91 cm2/m2, median: 41.62 cm2/m2, range: 21.1–55.53 cm2/m2); SII (610.79 × 109/L, median: 445.22, range: ...
