Paternal undernutrition and overnutrition modify semen composition and preimplantation embryo developmental kinetics in mice. BMC Biol 2024; 22:207. [PMID: 39278917 PMCID: PMC11403970 DOI: 10.1186/s12915-024-01992-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2023] [Accepted: 08/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of parental diet in relation to eventual offspring health is increasing in prominence due to the increased frequency of parents of reproductive age consuming poor diets. Whilst maternal health and offspring outcome have been studied in some detail, the paternal impacts are not as well understood. A father's poor nutritional status has been shown to have negative consequences on foetal growth and development and ultimately impact the long-term adult health of the offspring. In this study, we examined sperm- and seminal vesicle fluid-mediated mechanisms of preimplantation embryo development alterations in response to sub-optimal paternal diets. RESULTS Male mice were fed a diet to model either under (low-protein diet (LPD)) or over (high-fat/sugar 'Western' diet (WD)) nutrition, LPD or WD supplemented with methyl donors or a control diet (CD) before mating with age-matched females. Male metabolic health was influenced by WD and MD-WD, with significant changes in multiple serum lipid classes and hepatic 1-carbon metabolites. Sperm RNA sequencing revealed significant changes to mRNA profiles in all groups when compared to CD (LPD: 32, MD-LPD: 17, WD: 53, MD-WD: 35 transcripts). Separate analysis of the seminal vesicle fluid proteome revealed a significant number of differentially expressed proteins in all groups (LPD: 13, MD-LPD: 27, WD: 24, MD-WD: 19) when compared to control. Following mating, in vitro time-lapse imaging of preimplantation embryos revealed a significant increase in the timing of development in all experimental groups when compared to CD embryos. Finally, qPCR analysis of uterine tissue at the time of implantation identified perturbed expression of Cd14 and Ptgs1 following mating with WD-fed males. CONCLUSIONS Our current study shows that paternal nutritional status has the potential to influence male metabolic and reproductive health, impacting on embryonic development and the maternal reproductive tract. This study highlights potential direct (sperm-mediated) and indirect (seminal vesicle fluid-mediated) pathways in which a father's poor diet could shape the long-term health of his offspring.

Abstract
Dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) plays crucial roles in mitochondrial and peroxisome fission. However, the mechanisms underlying the functional regulation of DRP1 in adipose tissue during obesity remain unclear. To elucidate the metabolic and pathological significance of diminished DRP1 in obese adipose tissue, we utilized adipose tissue-specific DRP1 KO mice challenged with a high-fat diet. We observed significant metabolic dysregulations in the KO mice. Mechanistically, DRP1 exerts multifaceted functions in mitochondrial dynamics and endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-lipid droplet crosstalk in normal mice. Loss of function of DRP1 resulted in abnormally giant mitochondrial shapes, distorted mitochondrial membrane structure, and disrupted cristae architecture. Meanwhile, DRP1 deficiency induced the retention of nascent lipid droplets in ER, leading to perturbed overall lipid dynamics in the KO mice. Collectively, dysregulation of the dynamics of mitochondria, ER, and lipid droplets contributes to whole-body metabolic disorders, as evidenced by perturbations in energy metabolites. Our findings demonstrate that DRP1 plays diverse and critical roles in regulating energy metabolism within adipose tissue during the progression of obesity.

Abstract
Myosteatosis occurs in response to excess circulating fatty acids and is associated with muscle dysfunction. This study aimed to characterize the sequence of events of lipid-induced toxicity within muscle cells and the role of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) as potential preventive factors. Myosteatosis was induced in C2C12 myotubes exposed to palmitic acid (PAL 500µM). Furthermore, cells were co-incubated with PUFA (α-linolenic acid = ALA, Eicosapentaenoic acid = EPA, Docosahexaenoic acid = DHA; Arachidonic acid = ARA) over a period of 48 h. Cell viability, morphology, and measures of lipid and protein metabolism were assessed at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. We observed that myotube integrity was rapidly and progressively disrupted by PAL treatment after 12 h, ultimately leading to cell death (41.7% cell survival at 48 h, p < .05). Cell death did not occur in cells exposed to PAL+ARA and PAL+DHA. After 6 h of PAL treatment, an accumulation of large lipid droplets was observed within the cell (6 folds, p < .05). This was associated with an increase in ceramides (CER x3 fold change) and diacylglycerol (DAG x150 fold change) contents (p < .05). At the same time, insulin was no longer able to stimulate protein synthesis (p < .05) nor leverage autophagic flux (p < .05). DHA and ARA were able to completely reverse the defect in protein synthesis and partially modulate the accumulation of CER and DAG. These findings present new and intriguing research avenues in the field of muscle metabolism and nutrition, particularly in the context of aging, chronic muscle disorders, and insulin resistance.

Abstract
Dietary patterns that include an excess of foods rich in saturated fat are associated with brain dysfunction. Although microgliosis has been proposed to play a key role in the development of brain dysfunction in diet-induced obesity (DIO), neuroinflammation with cytokine over-expression is not always observed. Thus, mechanisms by which microglia contribute to brain impairment in DIO are uncertain. Using the BV2 cell model, we investigated the gliosis profile of microglia exposed to palmitate (200 µmol/L), a saturated fatty acid abundant in high-fat diet and in the brain of obese individuals. We observed that microglia respond to a 24-hour palmitate exposure with increased proliferation, and with a metabolic network rearrangement that favors energy production from glycolysis rather than oxidative metabolism, despite stimulated mitochondria biogenesis. In addition, while palmitate did not induce increased cytokine expression, it modified the protein cargo of released extracellular vesicles (EVs). When administered intra-cerebroventricularly to mice, EVs secreted from palmitate-exposed microglia in vitro led to memory impairment, depression-like behavior, and glucose intolerance, when compared to mice receiving EVs from vehicle-treated microglia. We conclude that microglia exposed to palmitate can mediate brain dysfunction through the cargo of shed EVs.

Overfeeding polyunsaturated fat compared with saturated fat does not differentially influence lean tissue accumulation in individuals with overweight: a randomized controlled trial. Am J Clin Nutr 2024; 120:121-128. [PMID: 38636844 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajcnut.2024.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fatty acids may influence lean tissue volume and skeletal muscle function. We previously reported in young lean participants that overfeeding PUFA compared with SFA induced greater lean tissue accumulation despite similar weight gain. OBJECTIVES In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, we aimed to investigate if the differential effects of overfeeding SFA and PUFA on lean tissue accumulation could be replicated in individuals with overweight and identify potential determinants. Further, using substitution models, we investigated associations between SFA and PUFA concentrations with lean tissue volume in a large population-based sample (UK Biobank). METHODS Sixty-one males and females with overweight [BMI (kg/m2): 27.3 (interquartile range (IQR), 25.4-29.3); age: 43 (IQR, 36-48)] were overfed SFA (palm oil) or n-6 (ω-6) PUFA (sunflower oil) for 8 wk. Lean tissue was assessed by MRI. We had access to n = 13,849 participants with data on diet, covariates, and MRI measurements of lean tissue, as well as 9119 participants with data on circulating fatty acids in the UK Biobank. RESULTS Body weight gain mean (SD) was similar in PUFA (2.01 ± 1.90 kg) and SFA (2.31 ± 1.38 kg) groups. Lean tissue increased to a similar extent [0.54 ± 0.93 L and 0.67 ± 1.21 L for PUFA and SFA groups, respectively, with a difference between groups of 0.07 (-0.21, 0.35)]. We observed no differential effects on circulating amino acids, myostatin, or IL-15 and no clear determinants of lean tissue accumulation. Similar nonsignificant results for SFA and PUFA were observed in UK Biobank, but circulating fatty acids demonstrated ambiguous and sex-dependent associations. CONCLUSIONS Overfeeding SFA or PUFA does not differentially affect lean tissue accumulation during 8 wk in individuals with overweight. A lack of dietary fat type-specific effects on lean tissue is supported by specified substitution models in a large population-based cohort consuming their habitual diet. This trial was registered at clinicaltrials.gov identifier as NCT02211612.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are intricate systemic conditions that can extend beyond the gastrointestinal tract through both direct and indirect mechanisms. Sarcopenia, characterized by a reduction in muscle mass and strength, often emerges as a consequence of the clinical course of IBDs. Indeed, sarcopenia exhibits a high prevalence in Crohn's disease (52%) and ulcerative colitis (37%). While computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging remain gold-standard methods for assessing muscle mass, ultrasound is gaining traction as a reliable, cost-effective, and widely available diagnostic method. Muscle strength serves as a key indicator of muscle function, with grip strength test emerging nowadays as the most reliable assessment method. In IBDs, sarcopenia may arise from factors such as inflammation, malnutrition, and gut dysbiosis, leading to the formulation of the 'gut-muscle axis' hypothesis. This condition determines an increased need for surgery with poorer post-surgical outcomes and a reduced response to biological treatments. Sarcopenia and its consequences lead to reduced quality of life (QoL), in addition to the already impaired QoL. Of emerging concern is sarcopenic obesity in IBDs, a challenging condition whose pathogenesis and management are still poorly understood. Resistance exercise and nutritional interventions, particularly those aimed at augmenting protein intake, have demonstrated efficacy in addressing sarcopenia in IBDs. Furthermore, anti-TNF biological therapies showed interesting outcomes in managing this condition. This review seeks to furnish a comprehensive overview of sarcopenia in IBDs, elucidating diagnostic methodologies, pathophysiological mechanisms, and clinical implications and management. Attention will also be paid to sarcopenic obesity, exploring the pathophysiology and possible treatment modalities of this condition.

Abstract
Previous studies in Western diet (WD)-fed male rats have highlighted a link between the stimulation of cardiac contractility, mitochondrial adaptations and a pro-inflammatory fatty acid profile of phospholipids in the heart. Our objectives were to determine (1) if WD-fed female Wistar rats and obese humans display a similar pro-inflammatory profile in their cardiac phospholipids and (2) if this lipid profile is associated with deleterious effects on the heart of the female rodents. Female Wistar rats were fed WD for 5 weeks or a laboratory chow as a control. Ionic homeostasis, redox status, inflammation markers, and fatty acid composition of phospholipids were analysed in the heart. WD increased the abdominal fat mass without modifying the body weight of female rats. As previously found in males, a WD induced a shift in membrane fatty acid composition toward a pro-inflammatory profile in the female rats, but not in obese humans. It was associated with an increased COX2 expression suggesting an increased pro-inflammatory eicosanoid production. Signs of increased intracellular calcium strongly supported a stimulation of cardiac contractility without any induction of apoptosis. The heart of WD-fed rats exhibited a hypoxic state as a higher HIF1-α expression was reported. The expressions of antioxidant enzymes were increased, but the redox reserves against reactive oxygen species were lowered. In conclusion, as previously observed in males, we suppose that cardiac abnormalities are magnified with severe obesity in female rats, leading to hypoxia and intense oxidative stress which could ultimately induce cell death and heart failure.

Abstract
Obese sarcopenia is a severe and prevalent disease in an aging society. Compared to sarcopenia alone, the development and advanced stage of obesity sarcopenia is faster and more severe. Diagnosis of the cause of adipocyte accumulation is also more complicated; however, no effective pharmacological treatment is available. Chronic inflammation is one of the causes of sarcopenia, and obese patients, who are more likely to develop chronic inflammation, may simultaneously suffer from obesity and sarcopenia. Mitochondrial metabolic disorders have been more easily observed in the tissue cells of patients with obesity and sarcopenia. Mitochondrial metabolic disorders include abnormal mtDNA release, mitochondrial autophagy, and dynamic mitochondrial disorders. Therefore, this review will reveal the mechanism of development of obesity myasthenia gravis from the perspective of mitochondria and discuss the currently existing small-molecule drugs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has linked sarcopenic obesity (SO) to cognitive function; however, the relationship between cognitive performance and SO Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate their relationship in AD patients. METHODS One hundred and twenty mild to moderate AD patients and 56 normal controls were recruited. According to sarcopenia or obesity status, AD patients were classified into subgroups: normal, obesity, sarcopenia, and SO. Body composition, demographics, and sarcopenia parameters were assessed. Cognitive performance was evaluated using neuropsychological scales. RESULTS Among the 176 participants, the prevalence of SO in the moderate AD group was higher than in the normal control group. The moderate AD group had the lowest appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) and the highest percentage of body fat (PBF). Hypertension and diabetes were more prevalent in the SO group than in the normal group among the subgroups. The sarcopenia and SO groups exhibited worse global cognitive function compared to the normal and obesity groups. Partial correlation analysis revealed that ASMI, PBF, and visceral fat area were associated with multiple cognitive domains scores. In logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for confounders, obesity was not found to be associated with AD. However, sarcopenia (odds ratio (OR) = 5.35, 95% CI: 1.27-22.46) and SO (OR = 5.84, 95% CI: 1.26-27.11) were identified as independent risk factors for AD. CONCLUSIONS SO was associated with cognitive dysfunction in AD patients. Moreover, the impact of SO on cognitive decline was greater than that of sarcopenia. Early identification and intervention for SO may have a positive effect on the occurrence and progression of AD.

Br J Nutr 2023; 130:1373-1384. [PMID: 36896599 PMCID: PMC10511683 DOI: 10.1017/s0007114523000399] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 03/11/2023]
Abstract
The study aimed to explore the relationships of skeletal muscle mass with disease severity in metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) patients with different methods. Consecutive subjects undergoing bioelectrical impedance analysis were included. The steatosis grade and liver fibrosis were evaluated by MRI-derived proton density fat fraction and two-dimensional shear wave elastography. The appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM) was adjusted by height2 (ASM/H2), weight (ASM/W) and BMI (ASM/BMI). Overall, 2223 subjects (50·5 %, MAFLD; 46·9 %, male) were included, with the mean age 37·4 ± 10·6 years. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the subjects with the lowest quartile (Q1) of ASM/W or ASM/BMI had higher risk ratios for MAFLD (OR (95 % CI) in male: 2·57 (1·35, 4·89), 2·11(1·22, 3·64); in female: 4·85 (2·33, 10·01), 4·81 (2·52, 9·16), all P < 0·05, all for Q1 v. Q4). The MAFLD patients with lower quartiles of ASM/W had the higher risk OR for insulin resistance (IR), both in male and female (2·14 (1·16, 3·97), 4·26 (1·29, 14·02) for Q4 v. Q1, both P < 0·05). While the significant OR were not observed when ASM/H2 and ASM/BMI were used. There were significant dose-dependent associations between decreased ASM/W as well as ASM/BMI and moderate-severe steatosis (2·85(1·54, 5·29), 1·90(1·09, 3·31), both P < 0·05) in male MAFLD patients. In conclusion, ASM/W is superior to ASM/H2 and ASM/BMI in predicting the degree of MAFLD. A lower ASM/W is associated with IR and moderate-severe steatosis in non-elderly male MAFLD.

Abstract
Sarcopenic obesity, or the loss of muscle mass and function associated with excess adiposity, is a largely untreatable medical condition associated with diminished quality of life and increased risk of mortality. To date, it remains somewhat paradoxical and mechanistically undefined as to why a subset of adults with obesity develop muscular decline, an anabolic stimulus generally associated with retention of lean mass. Here, we review evidence surrounding the definition, etiology, and treatment of sarcopenic obesity with an emphasis on emerging regulatory nodes with therapeutic potential. We review the available clinical evidence largely focused on diet, lifestyle, and behavioral interventions to improve quality of life in patients with sarcopenic obesity. Based upon available evidence, relieving consequences of energy burden, such as oxidative stress, myosteatosis, and/or mitochondrial dysfunction, is a promising area for therapeutic development in the treatment and management of sarcopenic obesity.

Abstract
Aging is associated with a decline in muscle mass and function, leading to increased risk for mobility limitations and frailty. Dietary interventions incorporating specific nutrients, such as pea proteins or inulin, have shown promise in attenuating age-related muscle loss. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pea proteins given with inulin on skeletal muscle in old rats. Old male rats (20 months old) were randomly assigned to one of two diet groups for 16 weeks: a 'PEA' group receiving a pea-protein-based diet, or a 'PEA + INU' group receiving the same pea protein-based diet supplemented with inulin. Both groups showed significant postprandial stimulation of muscle p70 S6 kinase phosphorylation rate after consumption of pea proteins. However, the PEA + INU rats showed significant preservation of muscle mass with time together with decreased MuRF1 transcript levels. In addition, inulin specifically increased PGC1-α expression and key mitochondrial enzyme activities in the plantaris muscle of the old rats. These findings suggest that dietary supplementation with pea proteins in combination with inulin has the potential to attenuate age-related muscle loss. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and determine the optimal dosage and duration of intervention for potential translation to human studies.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder that causes falls, disability and death in the elderly, but its exact mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we merged three GEO datasets into the expression profiles of 118 samples and screened 22 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) as candidate genes. Pathway analysis demonstrated that the functional enrichment of DEGs is mainly in the cellular response to insulin stimulus, PPAR signaling pathway and other metabolism-related pathways. Then, we identified six key genes by machine learning, which were confirmed to be closely associated with sarcopenia by bioinformatics analysis. It was experimentally verified that SCD1 exhibits the most substantial alterations in the progression of sarcopenia with disturbed lipid metabolism and myosteatosis. In addition, the immune microenvironment of sarcopenia was found to be affected by these key genes, with Th17 cells down-regulated and NK cells up-regulated. Sarcopenic patients consequently presented a more significant systemic inflammatory state with higher CAR (p = 0.028) and PAR (p = 0.018). For the first time, we identified key genes in sarcopenia with high-throughput data and demonstrated that key genes can regulate the progression of sarcopenia by affecting the immune microenvironment. Among them, SCD1 may influence lipid metabolism and myosteatosis process. Screening of key genes and analyzing of immune microenvironment provide a more accurate target for treating sarcopenia.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is typically detected at an advanced stage, and is refractory to most forms of treatment, contributing to poor survival outcomes. The incidence of pancreatic cancer is gradually increasing, linked to an aging population and increasing rates of obesity and pancreatitis, which are risk factors for this cancer. Sources of risk include adipokine signaling from fat cells throughout the body, elevated levels of intrapancreatic intrapancreatic adipocytes (IPAs), inflammatory signals arising from pancreas-infiltrating immune cells and a fibrotic environment induced by recurring cycles of pancreatic obstruction and acinar cell lysis. Once cancers become established, reorganization of pancreatic tissue typically excludes IPAs from the tumor microenvironment, which instead consists of cancer cells embedded in a specialized microenvironment derived from cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). While cancer cell interactions with CAFs and immune cells have been the topic of much investigation, mechanistic studies of the source and function of IPAs in the pre-cancerous niche are much less developed. Intriguingly, an extensive review of studies addressing the accumulation and activity of IPAs in the pancreas reveals that unexpectedly diverse group of factors cause replacement of acinar tissue with IPAs, particularly in the mouse models that are essential tools for research into pancreatic cancer. Genes implicated in regulation of IPA accumulation include KRAS, MYC, TGF-β, periostin, HNF1, and regulators of ductal ciliation and ER stress, among others. These findings emphasize the importance of studying pancreas-damaging factors in the pre-cancerous environment, and have significant implications for the interpretation of data from mouse models for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
NEW FINDINGS What is the central question of this study? Ageing leads to a loss of mass in skeletal muscle, but the effect of obesity on ageing-related muscle wasting is unclear. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate the specific effect of obesity on fast-twitch skeletal muscle in ageing. What is the main finding and its importance? Our findings show that the obesity induced by long-term ingestion of a high-fat diet does not aggravate muscle wasting in fast-twitch skeletal muscle of aged mice, indicating that the present study provides morphological characteristics for skeletal muscle of sarcopenic obesity. ABSTRACT Obesity and ageing reduce muscle mass and lead to deficits in muscle maintenance, but it is not known whether obesity accelerates muscle wasting additively in the setting of ageing. We investigated morphological characteristics in fast-twitch extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of mice fed a low-fat diet (LFD) or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 4 or 20 months. The fast-twitch EDL muscle was harvested, and the muscle fibre-type composition, individual muscle cross-sectional area and myotube diameter were measured. We found an increase in the percentage of type IIa and IIx myosin heavy chain fibres in the whole EDL muscle, but a decrease in type IIB myosin heavy chain in both HFD protocols. The cross-sectional area and myofibre diameter were lower in both groups of aged mice (after 20 months of LFD or HFD) compared with young mice (after 4 months of the diets), but there were no differences between mice fed LFD or HFD for 20 months. These data suggest that long-term feeding of HFD does not aggravate muscle wasting in fast-twitch EDL muscle of male mice.

Abstract
Oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, reduced protein synthesis, and increased proteolysis are all critical factors in the process of muscle atrophy. In particular, oxidative stress is the key factor that triggers skeletal muscle atrophy. It is activated in the early stages of muscle atrophy and can be regulated by various factors. The mechanisms of oxidative stress in the development of muscle atrophy have not been completely elucidated. This review provides an overview of the sources of oxidative stress in skeletal muscle and the correlation of oxidative stress with inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, autophagy, protein synthesis, proteolysis, and muscle regeneration in muscle atrophy. Additionally, the role of oxidative stress in skeletal muscle atrophy caused by several pathological conditions, including denervation, unloading, chronic inflammatory diseases (diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, chronic heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), sarcopenia, hereditary neuromuscular diseases (spinal muscular atrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Duchenne muscular dystrophy), and cancer cachexia, have been discussed. Finally, this review proposes the alleviation oxidative stress using antioxidants, Chinese herbal extracts, stem cell and extracellular vesicles as a promising therapeutic strategy for muscle atrophy. This review will aid in the development of novel therapeutic strategies and drugs for muscle atrophy.

Abstract
A decline in muscle mass and function represents one of the most problematic changes associated with aging, and has dramatic effects on autonomy and quality of life. Several factors contribute to the inexorable process of sarcopenia, such as mitochondrial and autophagy dysfunction, and the lack of regeneration capacity of satellite cells. The physiologic decline in muscle mass and in motoneuron functionality associated with aging is exacerbated by the sedentary lifestyle that accompanies elderly people. Regular physical activity is beneficial to most people, but the elderly need well-designed and carefully administered training programs that improve muscle mass and, consequently, both functional ability and quality of life. Aging also causes alteration in the gut microbiota composition associated with sarcopenia, and some advances in research have elucidated that interventions via the gut microbiota-muscle axis have the potential to ameliorate the sarcopenic phenotype. Several mechanisms are involved in vitamin D muscle atrophy protection, as demonstrated by the decreased muscular function related to vitamin D deficiency. Malnutrition, chronic inflammation, vitamin deficiencies, and an imbalance in the muscle-gut axis are just a few of the factors that can lead to sarcopenia. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, probiotics, prebiotics, proteins, kefir, and short-chain fatty acids could be potential nutritional therapies against sarcopenia. Finally, a personalized integrated strategy to counteract sarcopenia and maintain the health of skeletal muscles is suggested in this review.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes is associated with many complications, including skeletal muscle atrophy. Ketogenic diets and low-carbohydrate diets (LCD) have recently been introduced as dietary interventions in patients with diabetes, but their effects on glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle have not been studied. In the current study, we compared the effects of LCD and ketogenic diet on glucose and lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle of diabetic mice. C57BL/6J mice with type 2 diabetes, constructed by a high-fat diet combined with streptozotocin, were fed a standard diet, a high-fat diet, an LCD, or a ketogenic diet for 14 weeks, respectively. Here, we found that the LCD, rather than the ketogenic diet, retained skeletal muscle weight and suppressed the expression of atrophy-related genes in diabetic mice. In addition, the LCD had more glycolytic/type IIb myofiber content and inhibited forkhead box O1 and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 expression, leading to improved glucose utilization. However, the ketogenic diet maintained more oxidative/type I myofibers. Moreover, compared with the ketogenic diet, the LCD decreased intramuscular triglycerides content and muscle lipolysis, suggesting improvement in lipid metabolism. Taken together, these data suggested that the LCD improved glucose utilization, and inhibited lipolysis and atrophy in skeletal muscle of diabetic mice, while the ketogenic diet showed metabolic disorders in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate roles of sarcopenia indexes in prediction of development of insulin resistance in nondiabetic older adults. DESIGN A 2-year follow-up cohort. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS The Tanno-Sobetsu study, a prospective observational cohort, included 194 community-dwelling nondiabetic older adults during 2017-2019. METHODS Lower limb, upper limb, appendicular, and trunk muscle masses by a bioelectrical impedance analysis, grip strength, knee extension torque, and walking speed were measured in study participants aged ≥65 years (79 men and 115 women) at baseline. Muscle mass and strength were divided by the weight, and then multiplied by 100 to calculate the weight ratio (%). Insulin resistance was assessed by homeostasis model (HOMA-IR) at baseline, and the study participants whose HOMA-IR was less than 1.73 at baseline were followed for a maximum of 2 years. The study endpoint was development of insulin resistance defined as HOMA-IR ≥1.73. The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of each sarcopenia component for development of insulin resistance was calculated. RESULTS Lower limb muscle mass (HR 0.88, 95% CI 0.79-0.98) and appendicular muscle mass (HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.81-0.99), but not other sarcopenia components, were associated with the development of insulin resistance, independently of sex and age, HOMA-IR, and waist circumference at baseline. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The loss of lower limb muscle mass is a significant risk factor for development of insulin resistance independently of obesity in nondiabetic older adults. The lower limb muscle mass may be a novel target of interventions for the prevention of diabetes in older adults.

Abstract
SCOPE Although sarcopenia is mainly caused by aging, sarcopenia due to obesity has become an emerging issue given the increase in obesity among people of various ages. There are studies on obesity or sarcopenia, our understanding of obesity-mediated sarcopenia is insufficient. Luteolin (LU) has exhibited antiobesity effects, but no studies have investigated the LU effects on antisarcopenia. This study therefore investigated the effects of LU on obese sarcopenia in mice with high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. METHODS AND RESULTS To evaluate its inhibitory efficacy against obese sarcopenia, 5-week-old mice are fed an HFD supplemented with LU for 20 weeks. LU exerts suppressive effects on obesity, inflammation, and protein degradation in the HFD-fed obese mice. It also inhibits lipid infiltration into the muscle and decreases p38 activity and the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, Tlr2, Tlr4, MCP1, and MMP2, in the muscle. The suppression of muscle inflammation by LU leads to the inhibition of myostatin, FoxO, atrogin, and MuRF expression. These effects of LU affect inhibition of protein degradation and improvement of muscle function. CONCLUSION Here, it demonstrates that LU's antiobesity and antiinflammatory functionality affect inhibition of muscle protein degradation, and consequently, these interactions by LU exerts a protective effect against obese sarcopenia.

Abstract
Osteosarcopenic obesity (OSO) has been associated with increase immobility, falls, fractures, and other dysfunctions, which could increase mortality risk during aging. However, its etiology remains unknown. Recent studies revealed that sedentarism, fat gain, and epigenetic regulators are critical in its development. One effective intervention to prevent and treat OSO is exercise. Therefore, in the present study, by keeping rats in conditions of sedentarism and others under a low-intensity exercise routine, we established an experimental model of OSO. We determined the degree of sarcopenia, obesity, and osteopenia at different ages and analyzed the miRNA expression during the lifespan using miRNA microarrays from gastrocnemius muscle. Interestingly microarrays results showed that there is a set of miRNAs that changed their expression with exercise. The pathway enrichment analysis showed that these miRNAs are strongly associated with immune regulation. Further inflammatory profiles with IL-6/IL-10 and TNF-α/IL-10 ratios showed that exercised rats presented a lower pro-inflammatory profile than sedentary rats. Also, the body fat gain in the sedentary group increased the inflammatory profile, ultimately leading to muscle dysfunction. Exercise prevented strength loss over time and maintained skeletal muscle functionality over time. Differential expression of miRNAs suggests that they might participate in this process by regulating the inflammatory response associated with aging, thus preventing the development of OSO.

Abstract
Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, is associated with lipid accumulation and anabolic resistance; phenomena also observed in obesity and worsen when obesity and aging are combined. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is overactivated in obesity, but its role in aging obesity-related muscle dysfunction is unknown. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of inhibition of the ECS by rimonabant (RIM) on the metabolic alterations induced by a high-fat high-sucrose diet and on skeletal muscle mass/function in aged mice. Eighteen-month-old male mice were subjected to a control (CTL) or a high-fat high-sucrose (HFHS) diet for 24 weeks. Mice were administered with saline or RIM (10 mg/kg/day) for the last 4 weeks of the diet. Skeletal muscle function was evaluated by open-field, rotarod, and grip strength tests. Metabolic alterations in liver, adipose tissue, and skeletal muscle were investigated by quantitative RT-PCR. Body mass was higher in HFHS mice compared to CTL mice (48.0 ± 1.5 vs. 33.5 ± 0.7 g, P < 0.01), as a result of fat accumulation (34.8 ± 1.0 vs. 16.7 ± 0.8%, P < 0.01). RIM reduced body fat mass in both CTL (-16%, P < 0.05) and HFHS conditions (-40%, P < 0.01), without affecting hindlimb skeletal muscle mass. In HFHS mice, grip strength evolution was improved (-0.29 ± 0.06 vs. -0.49 ± 0.06 g/g lean mass, P < 0.05), and rotarod activity was increased by ≈60% in response to RIM (45.9 ± 6.3 vs. 28.5 ± 4.6 cm, P < 0.05). Lipolysis and β-oxidation genes were upregulated in the liver as well as genes involved in adipose tissue browning. These results demonstrate that inhibition of the ECS induces metabolic changes in liver and adipose tissue associated with a reversion of the obese phenotype and that RIM is able to improve motor coordination and muscle strength in aged mice, without affecting skeletal muscle mass.NEW & NOTEWORTHY In 24-month-old mice submitted to high-fat high-sucrose-induced obesity, inhibition of the endocannabinoid system by rimonabant reversed the obese phenotype by promoting adipose tissue browning and β-oxidation in the liver but not in skeletal muscle. These metabolism modifications are associated with improved skeletal muscle function.

Anti-tumor necrosis factor-α is potentially better than tumor necrosis factor-α as the biomarker for sarcopenia: Results from the I-Lan longitudinal aging study. Exp Gerontol 2023; 172:112053. [PMID: 36509297 DOI: 10.1016/j.exger.2022.112053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a proinflammatory cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, but its short half-life and inconsistent reproducibility limit the potential of TNF-α to be an ideal sarcopenia biomarker. Anti-TNF-α, a natural consequent autoantibody to TNF-α, is an indicator of relatively prolonged TNF-α exposure, has more stable concentrations than TNF-α and should be a better alternative as a biomarker of sarcopenia. Data from 484 participants from the I-Lan Longitudinal Aging Study were used for this study, and sarcopenia was defined by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus. Plasma levels of anti-TNF-α were determined by a sandwich ELISA approach, and levels of TNF-α were determined by an immunoassay. Compared to nonsarcopenic participants, 43 sarcopenic participants had higher levels of anti-TNF-α (0.73 ± 0.19 vs. 0.79 ± 0.25 OD, p = 0.045). Plasma levels of anti-TNF-α were positively correlated with TNF-α (r = 0.24, p < 0.001), and plasma levels of anti-TNF-α were positively correlated with adiposity (r = 0.16, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with lean body mass (r = -0.14, p = 0.003). Individuals with increasing levels of anti-TNF-α had higher odds of being sarcopenic (OR 5.4, 95 % CI: 1.1-25.8, p = 0.035), and these associations were stronger among women and younger adults. An association between TNF-α and sarcopenia was noted only in middle-aged adults (OR 6.2, 95 % CI: 1.8-21.7, p = 0.004). Plasma anti-TNF-α levels were positively correlated with TNF-α and were significantly associated with sarcopenia. Anti-TNF-α may be a more appropriate biomarker than TNF-α for sarcopenia, but further investigations are needed to confirm its roles in sarcopenia diagnosis and treatment response evaluation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Diabetic sarcopenia (DS) is characterized by muscle atrophy, slower nerve conduction, reduced maximum tension generated by skeletal muscle contraction, and slower contraction rate. Hence, DS can cause limb movement degeneration, slow movement, reduced balance, reduced metabolic rate, falls, fractures, etc. Moreover, the relevant early biological metabolites and their pathophysiological mechanism have yet to be characterized. METHOD The current cross-sectional study employed serum metabolomics analysis to screen potential noninvasive biomarkers in patients with diabetic sarcopenia. A total of 280 diabetic patients were enrolled in the study (n = 39 sarcopenia [DS], n = 241 without sarcopenia [DM]). Ten patients were randomly selected from both groups. Non-targeted metabolomic analysis was performed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. RESULTS A total of 632 differential metabolites were identified, including 82 that were significantly differentially abundant (P < 0.05, VIP > 1, FC > 1.2 or FC < 0.8). Compared with the DM group, the contents of pentadecanoic acid, 5'-methylthioadenosine (5'-MTA), N,N-dimethylarginine (asymmetric dimethylarginine, ADMA), and glutamine in the DS group were significantly increased, while that of isoxanthohumol was decreased. DISCUSSION Based on receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, pentadecanoic acid, 5'-MTA, ADMA, and glutamine may serve as potential biomarkers of DS. Moreover, ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and the mammalian target of the rapamycin signaling pathway were found to potentially have important regulatory roles in the occurrence and development of DS (P < 0.05). Collectively, the differential metabolites identified in this study provide new insights into the underlying pathophysiology of DS and serve as a basis for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Excessive storage of lipid droplets (LDs) in skeletal muscles is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. However, LD morphology displays a high degree of subcellular heterogeneity and varies between single muscle fibers, which impedes the current understanding of lipid-induced insulin resistance. Using quantitative transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we conducted a comprehensive single-fiber morphological analysis to investigate the intramuscular network of LDs and mitochondria, and the effects of 8 wk of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) targeting major muscle groups, in patients with type 2 diabetes and nondiabetic obese and lean controls. We found that excessive storage of intramuscular lipids in patients with type 2 diabetes was exclusively explained by extremely large LDs situated in distinct muscle fibers with a location-specific deficiency in subsarcolemmal mitochondria. After HIIT, this intramuscular deficiency was improved by a remodeling of LD size and subcellular distribution and mitochondrial content. Analysis of LD morphology further revealed that individual organelles were better described as ellipsoids than spheres. Moreover, physical contact between LD and mitochondrial membranes indicated a dysfunctional interplay between organelles in the diabetic state. Taken together, type 2 diabetes should be recognized as a metabolic disease with high cellular heterogeneity in intramuscular lipid storage, underlining the relevance of single-cell technologies in clinical research. Furthermore, HIIT changed intramuscular LD storage toward nondiabetic characteristics.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal ageing is a major health challenge as muscles and bones constitute around 55-60% of body weight. Ageing muscles will result in sarcopenia that is characterized by progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength with a risk of adverse outcomes. In recent years, a few consensus panels provide new definitions for sarcopenia. It was officially recognized as a disease in 2016 with an ICD-10-CM disease code, M62.84, in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). With the new definitions, there are many studies emerging to investigate the pathogenesis of sarcopenia, exploring new interventions to treat sarcopenia and evaluating the efficacy of combination treatments for sarcopenia. The scope of this chapter is to summarize and appraise the evidence in terms of (1) clinical signs, symptoms, screening, and diagnosis, (2) pathogenesis of sarcopenia with emphasis on mitochondrial dysfunction, intramuscular fat infiltration and neuromuscular junction deterioration, and (3) current treatments with regard to physical exercises and nutritional supplement.

Abstract
Nearly 50% of adults will suffer from obesity in the U.S. by 2030. High obesity rates can lead to high economic and healthcare burdens in addition to elevated mortality rates and reduced health span in patients. Emerging data demonstrate that obesity is a multifactorial complex disease with various etiologies including aging, a lifestyle of chronic high-fat diets (HFD), genetic predispositions, and circadian disruption. Time-restricted feeding/eating (TRF; TRE in humans) is an intervention demonstrated by studies to show promise as an effective alternative therapy for ameliorating the effects of obesity and metabolic disease. New studies have recently suggested that TRF/TRE modulates the skeletal muscle which plays a crucial role in metabolism historically observed to be impaired under obesity. Here we discuss recent findings regarding potential mechanisms underlying TRF's modulation of skeletal muscle function, metabolism, and structure which may shed light on future research related to TRF as a solution to obesity.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemics has created unprecedented challenges and threats to patients and healthcare systems worldwide. Acute respiratory complications that require intensive care unit (ICU) management are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in COVID-19 patients. Among other important risk factors for severe COVID-19 outcomes, obesity has emerged along with undernutrition-malnutrition as a strong predictor of disease risk and severity. Obesity-related excessive body fat may lead to respiratory, metabolic and immune derangements potentially favoring the onset of COVID-19 complications. In addition, patients with obesity may be at risk for loss of skeletal muscle mass, reflecting a state of hidden malnutrition with a strong negative health impact in all clinical settings. Also importantly, obesity is commonly associated with micronutrient deficiencies that directly influence immune function and infection risk. Finally, the pandemic-related lockdown, deleterious lifestyle changes and other numerous psychosocial consequences may worsen eating behaviors, sedentarity, body weight regulation, ultimately leading to further increments of obesity-associated metabolic complications with loss of skeletal muscle mass and higher non-communicable disease risk. Therefore, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies should be routinely included in the management of COVID-19 patients in the presence of obesity; lockdown-induced health risks should also be specifically monitored and prevented in this population. In the current document, the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) aims at providing clinical practice guidance for nutritional management of COVID-19 patients with obesity in various clinical settings.

Abstract
With prolonged pandemic conditions, and emerging evidence but persisting low awareness of the importance of nutritional derangements, ESPEN has promoted in close collaboration with World Health Organization-Europe a call for papers on all aspects relating COVID-19 and nutrition as well as nutritional care, in the Society Journals Clinical Nutrition and Clinical Nutrition ESPEN. Although more COVID-related papers are being submitted and continue to be evaluated, ESPEN and WHO present the current editorial to summarize the many published findings supporting major interactions between nutritional status and COVID-19. These include 1) high risk of developing the disease and high risk of severe disease in the presence of pre-existing undernutrition (malnutrition) including micronutrient deficiencies; 2) high risk of developing malnutrition during the course of COVID-19, with substantial impact on long-term sequelae and risk of long COVID; 3) persons with obesity are also prone to develop or worsen malnutrition and its negative consequences during the course of COVID-19; 4) malnutrition screening and implementation of nutritional care may improve disease outcomes; 5) social and public health determinants contribute to the interaction between nutritional status and COVID-19, including negative impact of lockdown and social limitations on nutrition quality and nutritional status. We believe the evidence supports the need to consider COVID-19 as (also) a case of malnutrition-enhanced disease and disease-related malnutrition, with added risk for persons both with and without obesity. Similarities with many other disease conditions further support recommendations to implement standard nutritional screening and care in COVID-19 patients, and they underscore the relevance of appropriate nutritional and lifestyle prevention policies to limit infection risk and mitigate the negative health impact of acute pandemic bouts.

Abstract
A diet containing refined carbohydrate (HCD) caused obesity and white adipose tissue (WAT) abnormalities, but it is unclear if HCD is linked with other metabolic dysfunctions in female models. Thus, we assessed whether HCD results in WAT, pancreas, liver, skeletal muscle (SM) and thyroid (TH) abnormalities in female rats. Female rats were fed with HCD for 15 days and metabolic morphophysiology, inflammation, oxidative stress (OS), and fibrosis markers were assessed. HCD rats presented large adipocytes, hyperleptinemia, and WAT OS. HCD caused irregular glucose metabolism, low insulin levels, and large pancreatic isle. Granulomas, reduced glycogen, and OS were observed in HCD livers. HCD caused hypertrophy and increased in glycogen in SM. HCD caused irregular TH morphophysiology, reduced colloid area and high T3 levels. In all selected tissues, inflammation and fibrosis were observed in HCD rats. Collectively, these data suggest that the HCD impairs metabolic function linked with irregularities in WAT, pancreas, liver, SM and TH in female rats.

Abstract
A body of literature supports the postulation that a persistent lipid metabolic imbalance causes lipotoxicity, "an abnormal fat storage in the peripheral organs". Hence, lipotoxicity could somewhat explain the process of sarcopenia, an aging-related, gradual, and involuntary decline in skeletal muscle strength and mass associated with several health complications. This review focuses on the recent mechanisms underlying lipotoxicity-related sarcopenia. A vicious cycle occurs between sarcopenia and ectopic fat storage via a complex interplay of mitochondrial dysfunction, pro-inflammatory cytokine production, oxidative stress, collagen deposition, extracellular matrix remodeling, and life habits. The repercussions of lipotoxicity exacerbation of sarcopenia can include increased disability, morbidity, and mortality. This suggests that appropriate lipotoxicity management should be considered the primary target for the prevention and/or treatment of chronic musculoskeletal and other aging-related disorders. Further advanced research is needed to understand the molecular details of lipotoxicity and its consequences for sarcopenia and sarcopenia-related comorbidities.

Abstract
As a result of aging, body composition changes, with a decline in muscle mass and an increase in adipose tissue (AT), which reallocates from subcutaneous to visceral depots and stores ectopically in the liver, heart and muscles. Furthermore, with aging, muscle and AT, both of which have recognized endocrine activity, become dysfunctional and contribute, in the case of positive energy balance, to the development of sarcopenic obesity (SO). SO is defined as the co-existence of excess adiposity and low muscle mass and function, and its prevalence increases with age. SO is strongly associated with greater morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of SO is complex and multifactorial. This review focuses mainly on the role of crosstalk between age-related dysfunctional adipose and muscle cells as one of the mechanisms leading to SO. A better understanding of this mechanisms may be useful for development of prevention strategies and treatments aimed at reducing the occurrence of SO.

Abstract
The role of flavonoids in regulating the synthesis and function of skeletal muscles is increasingly recognized. However, randomized controlled trials have yielded inconsistent results on the influence of flavonoids on human muscular parameters. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the possible effects of flavonoids on sarcopenia-related parameters in middle-aged and elderly people. Eligible literature and randomized controlled trials reports have been extensively searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases until April 2022. A total of 20 articles involving 796 participants were available for the meta-analysis. There were significant benefits for participants in appendicular muscle mass gain (SMD = 0.29; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.52; P = 0.01) and 6-min walk distance (SMD = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.01, 0.73; P = 0.05). A subgroup analysis indicated that flavonoid significantly improves appendicular muscle mass (SMD = 0.50; 95% CI: 0.21, 0.80; P < 0.01) and Timed-Up and Go test (SMD = −0.47; 95% CI: −0.85, −0.09; P = 0.02) in Sarcopenia population. Our results provide insight into the effects of flavonoids on skeletal muscle mass and gait speed for those without exercise. However, there was no significant improvement in the subjects' muscle strength.

Abstract
Purpose Older adults (age ≥ 65 years) are the fastest growing age group undergoing lung transplantation. Further, international consensus document for the selection of lung transplant candidates no longer suggest a fixed upper age limit. Although carefully selected older adults can derive great benefit, understanding which older adults will do well after transplant with improved survival and health-related qualiy of life is key to informed decision-making. Herein, we review the epidemiology of aging in lung transplantation and its impact on outcomes, highlight selected physiological measures that may be informative when evaluating and managing older lung transplant patients, and identify directions for future research. Recent Findings In general, listing and transplanting older, sicker patients has contributed to worse clinical outcomes and greater healthcare use. Emerging evidence suggest that measures of physiological age, such as frailty, body composition, and neurocognitive and psychosocial function, may better identify risk for poor transplant outcomes than chronlogical age. Summary The evidence base to inform transplant decision-making and improvements in care for older adults is small but growing. Multipronged efforts at the intersection of aging and lung transplantation are needed to improve the clinical and patient centered outcomes for this large and growing cohort of patients. Future research should focus on identifying novel and ideally modifiable risk factors for poor outcomes specific to older adults, better approaches to measuring physiological aging (e.g., frailty, body composition, neurocognitive and psychosocial function), and the underlying mechanisms of physiological aging. Finally, interventions that can improve clinical and patient centered outcomes for older adults are needed.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR1) play a vital role in regulating vascular biological function. However, the role of VEGFB and VEGFR1 in regulating fat deposition and skeletal muscle growth remains unclear. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the effects of VEGFB and VEGFR1 on fat deposition and skeletal muscle growth in mice. Our results showed that knockdown of VEGFB decreased body weight and iWAT index, stimulated the browning of mice iWAT with increased expression of UCP1, decreased the diameters of adipocytes, and elevated energy expenditure. In contrast, knockdown of VEGFB increased gastrocnemius (GAS) muscle index with increased proliferation of GAS muscle by expression of PCNA and Cyclin D1. Meanwhile, knockdown of endothelial VEGFR1 induced the browning of iWAT with increased expression of UCP1 and decreased diameters of adipocytes. By contrast, knockdown of endothelial VEGFR1 inhibited GAS muscle differentiation with decreased expression of MyoD. In conclusion, these results suggested that the loss of VEGFB/VEGFR1 signaling is associated with enhanced browning of inguinal white adipose tissue and skeletal muscle development. These results provided new insights into the regulation of skeletal muscle growth and regeneration, as well as fat deposition, suggesting the potential application of VEGFB/VEGFR1 as an intervention for the restriction of muscle diseases and obesity and related metabolic disorders.

Abstract
Decreased skeletal muscle contractile activity (disuse) or unloading leads to muscle mass loss, also known as muscle atrophy. The balance between muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle protein breakdown (MPB) is the primary determinant of skeletal muscle mass. A reduced mechanical load on skeletal muscle is one of the main external factors leading to muscle atrophy. However, endocrine and inflammatory factors can act synergistically in catabolic states, amplifying the atrophy process and accelerating its progression. Additionally, older individuals display aging-induced anabolic resistance, which can predispose this population to more pronounced effects when exposed to periods of reduced physical activity or mechanical unloading. Different cellular mechanisms contribute to the regulation of muscle protein balance during skeletal muscle atrophy. This review summarizes the effects of muscle disuse on muscle protein balance and the molecular mechanisms involved in muscle atrophy in the absence or presence of disease. Finally, a discussion of the current literature describing efficient strategies to prevent or improve the recovery from muscle atrophy is also presented.

Abstract
Myosteatosis, or pathological excess fat accumulation in muscle, has been widely defined as a lower mean skeletal muscle radiodensity on computed tomography (CT). It is reported in more than half of patients with cirrhosis, and preliminary studies have shown a possible association with reduced survival and increased risk of portal hypertension complications. Despite the clinical implications in cirrhosis, a standardized definition for myosteatosis has not yet been established. Currently, little data exist on the mechanisms by which excess lipid accumulates within the muscle in individuals with cirrhosis. Hyperammonemia may play an important role in the pathophysiology of myosteatosis in this setting. Insulin resistance, impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, diminished lipid oxidation in muscle and age-related differentiation of muscle stem cells into adipocytes have been also been suggested as potential mechanisms contributing to myosteatosis. The metabolic consequence of ammonia-lowering treatments and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in reversing myosteatosis in cirrhosis remains uncertain. Factors including the population of interest, design and sample size, single/combined treatment, dosing and duration of treatment are important considerations for future trials aiming to prevent or treat myosteatosis in individuals with cirrhosis.

Abstract
Obesity negatively impacts skeletal muscle protein metabolism, and also impairs skeletal muscle maintenance and regeneration. We analyzed muscle biopsy samples from humans with increased body mass index (BMI) (i.e. > 30 kg/m2) and controls (i.e., BMI < 25 kg/m2) for expression of syncytin-1, a fusogenic protein regulating skeletal muscle regeneration. When compared to controls, humans with increased BMI and concomitant reduction in muscle protein synthesis had higher expression of syncytin-1 in skeletal muscle (p < 0.05). Across human subjects, muscle protein synthesis correlated inversely (r = −0.51; p = 0.03) with syncytin-1 expression in muscle. Using a C2C12 cell line we found that expression of syncytin-A (i.e, corresponding protein in murine tissue) is increased by insulin, and that this response is impaired in the presence of fatty acids, whose metabolism is altered within the metabolic environment induced by increased BMI. In C2C12 cells, the response of the protein 4E-BP1, which signals increase in protein synthesis in muscle, resembled that of syncytin-A. These findings provide novel insights into the expression of syncytin-1 in skeletal muscle of humans with increased BMI, as well as its basic regulation by insulin and fatty acids in muscle. The findings signify the need for further research into the regulation of syncytin-1 in skeletal muscle of humans with increased BMI, as well as its biological implications for altering muscle protein metabolism and regeneration.

Abstract
Age-associated obesity and muscle atrophy (sarcopenia) are intimately connected and are reciprocally regulated by adipose tissue and skeletal muscle dysfunction. During ageing, adipose inflammation leads to the redistribution of fat to the intra-abdominal area (visceral fat) and fatty infiltrations in skeletal muscles, resulting in decreased overall strength and functionality. Lipids and their derivatives accumulate both within and between muscle cells, inducing mitochondrial dysfunction, disturbing β-oxidation of fatty acids, and enhancing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, leading to lipotoxicity and insulin resistance, as well as enhanced secretion of some pro-inflammatory cytokines. In turn, these muscle-secreted cytokines may exacerbate adipose tissue atrophy, support chronic low-grade inflammation, and establish a vicious cycle of local hyperlipidaemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation that spreads systemically, thus promoting the development of sarcopenic obesity (SO). We call this the metabaging cycle. Patients with SO show an increased risk of systemic insulin resistance, systemic inflammation, associated chronic diseases, and the subsequent progression to full-blown sarcopenia and even cachexia. Meanwhile in many cardiometabolic diseases, the ostensibly protective effect of obesity in extremely elderly subjects, also known as the 'obesity paradox', could possibly be explained by our theory that many elderly subjects with normal body mass index might actually harbour SO to various degrees, before it progresses to full-blown severe sarcopenia. Our review outlines current knowledge concerning the possible chain of causation between sarcopenia and obesity, proposes a solution to the obesity paradox, and the role of fat mass in ageing.

Abstract
In physiological conditions, the adipose organ resides in well-defined areas, where it acts providing an energy supply and as an endocrine organ involved in the control of whole-body energy metabolism. Adipose tissue adipokines connect the body's nutritional status to the regulation of energy balance. When it surrounds organs, it provides also for mechanical protection. Adipose tissue has a complex and heterogenous cellular composition that includes adipocytes, adipose tissue-derived stromal and stem cells (ASCs) which are mesenchymal stromal cells, and endothelial and immune cells, which signal to each other and to other tissues to maintain homeostasis. In obesity and in other nutrition related diseases, as well as in age-related diseases, biological and functional changes of adipose tissue give rise to several complications. Obesity triggers alterations of ASCs, impairing adipose tissue remodeling and adipose tissue function, which induces low-grade systemic inflammation, progressive insulin resistance and other metabolic disorders. Adipose tissue grows by hyperplasia recruiting new ASCs and by hypertrophy, up to its expandability limit. To overcome this limitation and to store the excess of nutrients, adipose tissue develops ectopically, involving organs such as muscle, bone marrow and the heart. The origin of ectopic adipose organ is not clearly elucidated, and a possible explanation lies in the stimulation of the adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal precursor cells which normally differentiate toward a lineage specific for the organ in which they reside. The chronic exposition of these newly-formed adipose depots to the pathological environment, will confer to them all the phenotypic characteristics of a dysfunctional adipose tissue, perpetuating the organ alterations. Visceral fat, but also ectopic fat, either in the liver, muscle or heart, can increase the risk of developing insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Being able to prevent and to target dysfunctional adipose tissue will avoid the progression towards the complications of obesity and other nutrition-related diseases. The aim of this review is to summarize some of the knowledge regarding the presence of adipose tissue in particular tissues (where it is not usually present), describing the composition of its adipogenic precursors, and the interactions responsible for the development of organ pathologies.

Abstract
The phenotype of sarcopenic obesity is frequently associated with impaired muscle strength and performance. Ectopic lipid deposition may interfere with muscle anabolic response especially during aging. Evidence is scarce concerning the potential interplay among aging and nutrient imbalance on skeletal muscle functionality. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of protein intake in the context of an obesogenic diet on skeletal muscle functional properties and intramuscular lipid infiltration. Two groups of forty-two adult and thirty-seven old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: isocaloric standard diet (12% protein, 14% lipid, as ST12); isocaloric standard (high-protein) diet (25% protein, 14% lipid, ST25); hypercaloric high-fat (normal-protein) diet (12% protein, 45% lipid, HF12); and hypercaloric high-fat (high-protein) diet (25% protein, 45% lipid, HF25). The nutritional intervention lasted 10 weeks. Total body composition was measured through Echo-MRI. Lipids were extracted from tibialis anterior muscle and analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. The functional properties of the plantarflexor muscles were evaluated in vivo on an isokinetic dynamometer. Maximal torque was assessed from the torque-frequency relationship in isometric condition and maximal power was evaluated from the torque-velocity relationship in concentric condition. In adult rats high-protein intake combined with high-fat diet determined a lower decrease in relative isometric torque, normalized to either FFM or body weight, compared with adult rats fed a high-fat normal-protein diet. High-fat diet was also detrimental to relative muscle power, as normalized to body weight, that decreased to a larger extent in adult rats fed a high-fat normal-protein diet than their counterparts fed a normal-fat, high-protein diet. The effect of high-fat diet observed in adults, with the enhanced protein intake (25%) conferring some kind of protection against the negative effects of HFD, may be linked to the reduced intramuscular fat in this group, which may have contributed to preserve, at least partly, the contractile properties. A potential role for high-protein diet in preventing ectopic lipid deposition needs to be explored in future research. Detrimental effects of high- fat diet on skeletal muscle performance are mitigated by high- protein intake in adult rats but not in old rats.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Loss of skeletal muscle mass and function (sarcopenia) is common in individuals with obesity due to metabolic changes associated with a sedentary lifestyle, adipose tissue derangements, comorbidities (acute and chronic diseases) and during the ageing process. Co-existence of excess adiposity and low muscle mass/function is referred to as sarcopenic obesity (SO), a condition increasingly recognized for its clinical and functional features that negatively influence important patient-centred outcomes. Effective prevention and treatment strategies for SO are urgently needed, but efforts are hampered by the lack of a universally established SO definition and diagnostic criteria. Resulting inconsistencies in the literature also negatively affect the ability to define prevalence as well as clinical relevance of SO for negative health outcomes. AIMS AND METHODS The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) launched an initiative to reach expert consensus on a definition and diagnostic criteria for SO. The jointly appointed international expert panel proposes that SO is defined as the co-existence of excess adiposity and low muscle mass/function. The diagnosis of SO should be considered in at-risk individuals who screen positive for a co-occurring elevated body mass index or waist circumference, and markers of low skeletal muscle mass and function (risk factors, clinical symptoms, or validated questionnaires). Diagnostic procedures should initially include assessment of skeletal muscle function, followed by assessment of body composition where presence of excess adiposity and low skeletal muscle mass or related body compartments confirm the diagnosis of SO. Individuals with SO should be further stratified into stage I in the absence of clinical complications or stage II if cases are associated with complications linked to altered body composition or skeletal muscle dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS ESPEN and EASO, as well as the expert international panel, advocate that the proposed SO definition and diagnostic criteria be implemented into routine clinical practice. The panel also encourages prospective studies in addition to secondary analysis of existing data sets, to study the predictive value, treatment efficacy and clinical impact of this SO definition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The capacity to generate new adipocytes from precursor cells is critical for maintaining metabolic health. Adipocyte precursor cells (APCs) constitute a heterogenous collection of cell types; however, the contribution of these various cell types to adipose tissue expansion in vivo remains unknown. The aim of the current study is to investigate the contribution of Dpp4+ progenitors to de novo adipogenesis. METHODS Single cell analysis has identified several transcriptionally distinct subpopulations of APCs, including Dpp4+ progenitor cells concentrated in the connective tissue surrounding many organs, including white adipose tissue (WAT). Here, we generated a Dpp4CreER mouse model for in vivo lineage tracing of these cells and their downstream progeny in the setting of basal or high fat diet (HFD)-stimulated adipogenesis. RESULTS Dpp4CreER mice enabled specific temporal labeling of Dpp4+ progenitor cells within their native connective tissue niche. Following a dietary chase period consisting of chow or HFD feeding for 18 weeks, Dpp4+ progenitors differentiated into mature adipocytes within the gonadal and subcutaneous WAT. HFD stimulated adipogenic contribution from Dpp4+ cells in the gonadal but not the subcutaneous depot. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that Dpp4+ progenitors give rise to DPP4(-)/ICAM1+ preadipocytes in vivo. HFD feeding did not perturb the flux of Dpp4+ cell conversion into ICAM1+ preadipocytes in gonadal WAT. Conversely, in subcutaneous WAT, HFD feeding/obesity led to an accumulation of ICAM1+ preadipocytes without a corresponding increase in mature adipocyte differentiation. Examination of non-classical murine visceral depots with relevance to humans, including omentum and retroperitoneal WAT, revealed robust contribution of Dpp4+ progenitors to de novo adipogenesis, which was further stimulated by HFD. CONCLUSION Our data demonstrate that Dpp4+ interstitial progenitor cells contribute to basal adipogenesis in all fat depots and are recruited to support de novo adipogenic expansion of visceral WAT in the setting of HFD-induced obesity.

Abstract
Plant proteins are attracting rising interest due to their pro-health benefits and environmental sustainability. However, little is known about the nutritional value of pea proteins when consumed by older people. Herein, we evaluated the digestibility and nutritional efficiency of pea proteins compared to casein and whey proteins in old rats. Thirty 20-month-old male Wistar rats were assigned to an isoproteic and isocaloric diet containing either casein (CAS), soluble milk protein (WHEY) or Pisane™ pea protein isolate for 16 weeks. The three proteins had a similar effect on nitrogen balance, true digestibility and net protein utilization in old rats, which means that different protein sources did not alter body composition, tissue weight, skeletal muscle protein synthesis or degradation. Muscle mitochondrial activity, inflammation status and insulin resistance were similar between the three groups. In conclusion, old rats used pea protein with the same efficiency as casein or whey proteins, due to its high digestibility and amino acid composition. Using these plant-based proteins could help older people diversify their protein sources and more easily achieve nutritional intake recommendations.

Time-Dependent Changes in Hepatic Sphingolipid Accumulation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway in a Rat Model of NAFLD. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222212478.

Abstract
Increased lipid bioavailability in a diet favors lipid accumulation, enhancing hepatic lipotoxicity and contributing to insulin resistance (IR) development. The aim of our study was to examine time-dependent alterations in the intrahepatic content of sphingolipids and insulin signaling pathway in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). The experiment was conducted on male Wistar rats receiving a standard diet or HFD for five weeks. At the end of each experimental feeding week, liver sphingolipids were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The expression of proteins from the sphingolipid pathway and glucose transporter expression were assessed by Western blot. The content of phosphorylated form of proteins from the insulin pathway was detected by a multiplex assay kit. Our results revealed that HFD enhanced hepatic ceramide deposition by increasing the expression of selected proteins from sphingomyelin and salvage pathways in the last two weeks. Importantly, we observed a significant inhibition of Akt phosphorylation in the first week of HFD and stimulation of PTEN and mTOR phosphorylation at the end of HFD. These changes worsened the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. We may postulate that HFD-induced reduction in the insulin action in the time-dependent matter was exerted by excessive accumulation of sphingosine and sphinganine rather than ceramide.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sarcopenic obesity and its association with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is under-recognized by many healthcare providers in Western medicine due to the lack of awareness and diagnostic guidelines. The result is delayed recognition and treatment, which leads to further health deterioration and increased healthcare costs. Sarcopenic obesity is characterized by the presence of increased fat mass in combination with muscle catabolism related to chronic inflammation and/or inactivity. Previous research has recommended evaluating body composition and physical function performance to adequately diagnose sarcopenic obesity. Body composition analysis can be performed by imaging applications through magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. Due to the cost of each device and radiation exposure for patients as evidenced in all three modalities, bioelectrical impedance analysis offers a noninvasive approach capable of providing quick and reliable estimates of lean body and fat mass. METHODS AND RESULTS This review analyzes the current evidence-based literature, indicating a lower skeletal muscle mass and increased visceral adipose tissue correlation to the advancement of fibrosis in fatty liver disease. CONCLUSION Given the substantial promising research conducted in predominantly Asian populations regarding body tissue distribution and NAFLD, additional prospective research is needed to extend these findings in Western populations.

Abstract
Background Myostatin (MSTN) is a key negative regulator of muscle mass in humans and animals, having direct and indirect influences on molecular regulators of atrophy and hypertrophy, thus potentially impacting fitness and physical function. We have shown that myostatin is elevated in conditions of chronic disability (e.g. paretic limb of stroke). Our hypothesis is that myostatin would be elevated in older adults with sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of skeletal muscle myostatin in sarcopenia. Methods Sixty-four overweight to obese aged 45–81 years underwent a maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) test, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan to determine appendicular lean tissue (ALM), and vastus lateralis muscle biopsy to determine myostatin mRNA expression by quantitative real time PCR (Q-RT-PCR). Rates of sarcopenia were determined using (ALM/BMI), and sarcopenia was defined as <0.789 in men and <0.512 in women. Subjects had low fitness (VO2max: 22.7 ± 0.7 mL/kg/min) and on average 40.9 ± 1% body fat. Results The prevalence of sarcopenia in this cohort was 16%. BMI, % body fat, and fat mass were higher in adults with sarcopenia than those without sarcopenia (all P < 0.001). Myostatin mRNA expression was lower in those without sarcopenia than those with sarcopenia (P < 0.05) and higher in men than women (P < 0.001). Myostatin expression was associated with BMI (r = 0.36, P < 0.01) and mid-thigh intramuscular fat (r = 0.29, P < 0.05). Conclusion Given that myostatin is important in muscle atrophy, fat accumulation, and sarcopenia, further work could address its implication in other aging cohorts of disability and chronic disease.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate changes in the energy cost of locomotion during walking (Cw) related to changes in body mass (BM, kg) and body composition in adolescents with obesity. Twenty-six (12 boys and 14 girls) obese adolescents (mean: body mass index, 33.6 ± 3.7 kg·m-2; 42.7 ± 4.5% fat mass (FM)) followed a 9-month multidisciplinary inpatient weight-reduction program consisting of lifestyle education, moderate energy restriction, and regular physical activity in a specialised institution. At baseline (M0), the end of the 9-month program (M9), and after the 4-month follow-up (M13), oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production of the standardised activity program were assessed by whole-body indirect calorimetry over 24 hours, and body composition was assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. At M9, adolescents showed an 18% reduction in BM (p < 0.001) and 40% in total FM, while fat-free mass (kg) remained stable in boys but decreased by ∼6% in girls (p = 0.001). Similarly, the mean Cw decreased by 20% (p < 0.001). At M13, BM, FM, and Cw were slightly higher compared with at M9. In conclusion, moderate energy restriction and regular moderate physical activities improved walking economy, improved exercise tolerance, and induced beneficial changes in the body composition of adolescents with obesity. Novelty: Reduction of FM in the trunk region, and consequently reducing the work carried out by respiratory muscles, contributes to reducing Cw in adolescents with obesity. A lower walking cost can be effective in improving exercise tolerance and quality of life in obese adolescents.
