Vitamin D and skeletal muscle: A narrative review focusing on chronic kidney disease and dialysis
(2021-01-01)
Morphological, molecular, and physiological effects of vitamin D on skeletal muscle have been analyzed both in animals and humans. Vitamin D may be a potential therapeutic for increasing muscle mass and function. The ...
Influence of protein intake and muscle mass on survival in chronic dialysis patients
(Informa Healthcare, 2010-01-01)
Introduction: Some studies suggest that high body mass index (BMI) confers survival advantage in dialysis patients, but BMI does not differentiate muscle from fat mass, and the survival advantage conferred by its increase ...

Time-course changes of catabolic proteins following muscle atrophy induced by dexamethasone
(2016-03-01)
This study was designed to describe the time-course changes of catabolic proteins following muscle atrophy induced by 10 days of dexamethasone (DEX). Rats underwent DEX treatment for 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 days. Body weight ...
Association between energy cost of walking, muscle activation, and biomechanical parameters in older female fallers and non-fallers
(2013-03-01)
Objective: To determine the nervous activation, muscle strength, and biomechanical parameters that influence the cost of walking in older fallers and non-fallers. Methods: Maximal voluntary isokinetic torque was measured ...

Relationship between plasma hormones and anthropometric measures of muscle mass in postmenopausal women
(2012-01-01)
The muscle undoubtedly pertains to a complex mechano-biological system that primarily enables efficient locomotion but is also involved in other vital physiological functions. Aging is accompanied by progressive reduction ...
Premature loss of muscle mass and function in type 2 diabetes
(Elsevier, 2016)
Introduction: Muscle mass and function are among the most relevant factors that contribute to an optimal quality of life, and are strong predictors of mortality in the elderly. Loss of lean tissues and deterioration of ...
