Association of added sugar intake and its forms and sources with handgrip strength decline among middle-aged and older adults: A prospective cohort study. Clin Nutr 2024; 43:1609-1617. [PMID: 38781671 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnu.2024.04.003] [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: 08/08/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The consumption of added sugar has increased rapidly in recent years. Limited knowledge exists regarding the association between added sugar intake and muscle strength, although the latter is a predictor of physical disability in older adults. This study aimed to investigate the association between added sugar intake and longitudinal changes in handgrip strength among middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 5298 adults aged 40 years and older (62.6% men) from the TCLSIH (Tianjin Chronic Low-grade Systemic Inflammation and Health) cohort study. Added sugar intake was obtained through a frequency questionnaire containing 100 items of food. Handgrip strength is measured annually using a handheld digital dynamometer. Multivariate linear regression models were used to examine the association between added sugars intake and the annual changes in handgrip strength and weight-adjusted handgrip strength. RESULTS In the fully adjusted model, the annual change in handgrip strength for one unit increase in total added sugar, solid added sugar, and liquid added sugar intake was -0.0353 kg, (95% confidence intervals (CI) -0.000148, -0.0000164; P = 0.01), -0.0348 kg (95% CI: -0.000227, -0.0000269; P = 0.01) and -0.0189 kg (95% CI -0.000187, 0.0000338; P = 0.17), respectively. Added sugar from bread and biscuits sources were remarkably associated with a decline in handgrip strength (β = -0.0498; 95%CI -0.00281, -0.000787) and (β = -0.0459; 95%CI 0.00158, 0.00733) (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the higher the intake of solid added sugars, but not liquid sugars, were associated with the declined handgrip strength in the Chinese middle-aged and elderly population. In addition, the consumption of added sugars from bread and biscuits sources was also associated with a decline in grip strength.

DYNamic assessment of multi-organ level dysfunction in patients recovering from COVID-19: DYNAMO COVID-19. Exp Physiol 2024.

Abstract
We evaluated the impacts of COVID-19 on multi-organ and metabolic function in patients following severe hospitalised infection compared to controls. Patients (n = 21) without previous diabetes, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease were recruited 5-7 months post-discharge alongside controls (n = 10) with similar age, sex and body mass. Perceived fatigue was estimated (Fatigue Severity Scale) and the following were conducted: oral glucose tolerance (OGTT) alongside whole-body fuel oxidation, validated magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy during resting and supine controlled exercise, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, short physical performance battery (SPPB), intra-muscular electromyography, quadriceps strength and fatigability, and daily step-count. There was a greater insulin response (incremental area under the curve, median (inter-quartile range)) during the OGTT in patients [18,289 (12,497-27,448) mIU/min/L] versus controls [8655 (7948-11,040) mIU/min/L], P < 0.001. Blood glucose response and fasting and post-prandial fuel oxidation rates were not different. This greater insulin resistance was not explained by differences in systemic inflammation or whole-body/regional adiposity, but step-count (P = 0.07) and SPPB scores (P = 0.004) were lower in patients. Liver volume was 28% greater in patients than controls, and fat fraction adjusted liver T1, a measure of inflammation, was raised in patients. Patients displayed greater perceived fatigue scores, though leg muscle volume, strength, force-loss, motor unit properties and post-exercise muscle phosphocreatine resynthesis were comparable. Further, cardiac and cerebral architecture and function (at rest and on exercise) were not different. In this cross-sectional study, individuals without known previous morbidity who survived severe COVID-19 exhibited greater insulin resistance, pointing to a need for physical function intervention in recovery.

Mitochondrial-derived microprotein MOTS-c attenuates immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by suppressing lipid infiltration. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2024; 326:E207-E214. [PMID: 38170165 PMCID: PMC11196098 DOI: 10.1152/ajpendo.00285.2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024]
Abstract
Mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S ribosomal RNA type-c (MOTS-c), a mitochondrial microprotein, has been described as a novel regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. In addition to its role as a metabolic regulator, MOTS-c prevents skeletal muscle atrophy in high fat-fed mice. Here, we examined the preventive effect of MOTS-c on skeletal muscle mass, using an immobilization-induced muscle atrophy model, and explored its underlying mechanisms. Male C57BL/6J mice (10 wk old) were randomly assigned to one of the three experimental groups: nonimmobilization control group (sterilized water injection), immobilization control group (sterilized water injection), and immobilization and MOTS-c-treated group (15 mg/kg/day MOTS-c injection). We used casting tape for the immobilization experiment. After 8 days of the experimental period, skeletal muscle samples were collected and used for Western blotting, RNA sequencing, and lipid and collagen assays. Immobilization reduced ∼15% of muscle mass, whereas MOTS-c treatment attenuated muscle loss, with only a 5% reduction. MOTS-c treatment also normalized phospho-AKT, phospho-FOXO1, and phospho-FOXO3a expression levels and reduced circulating inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1b (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1), and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), in immobilized mice. Unbiased RNA sequencing and its downstream analyses demonstrated that MOTS-c modified adipogenesis-modulating gene expression within the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) pathway. Supporting this observation, muscle fatty acid levels were lower in the MOTS-c-treated group than in the casted control mice. These results suggest that MOTS-c treatment inhibits skeletal muscle lipid infiltration by regulating adipogenesis-related genes and prevents immobilization-induced muscle atrophy.NEW & NOTEWORTHY MOTS-c, a mitochondrial microprotein, attenuates immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy. MOTS-c treatment improves systemic inflammation and skeletal muscle AKT/FOXOs signaling pathways. Furthermore, unbiased RNA sequencing and subsequent assays revealed that MOTS-c prevents lipid infiltration in skeletal muscle. Since lipid accumulation is one of the common pathologies among other skeletal muscle atrophies induced by aging, obesity, cancer cachexia, and denervation, MOTS-c treatment could be effective in other muscle atrophy models as well.

Daily blood flow restriction does not preserve muscle mass and strength during 2 weeks of bed rest. J Physiol 2024. [PMID: 38411283 DOI: 10.1113/jp286065] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/28/2024] Open
Abstract
We measured the impact of blood flow restriction on muscle protein synthesis rates, muscle mass and strength during 2 weeks of strict bed rest. Twelve healthy, male adults (age: 24 ± 3 years, body mass index: 23.7 ± 3.1 kg/m2 ) were subjected to 14 days of strict bed rest with unilateral blood flow restriction performed three times daily in three 5 min cycles (200 mmHg). Participants consumed deuterium oxide and we collected blood and saliva samples throughout 2 weeks of bed rest. Before and immediately after bed rest, lean body mass (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan) and thigh muscle volume (magnetic resonance imaging scan) were assessed in both the blood flow restricted (BFR) and control (CON) leg. Muscle biopsies were collected and unilateral muscle strength (one-repetition maximum; 1RM) was assessed for both legs before and after the bed rest period. Bed rest resulted in 1.8 ± 1.0 kg lean body mass loss (P < 0.001). Thigh muscle volume declined from 7.1 ± 1.1 to 6.7 ± 1.0 L in CON and from 7.0 ± 1.1 to 6.7 ± 1.0 L in BFR (P < 0.001), with no differences between treatments (P = 0.497). In addition, 1RM leg extension strength decreased from 60.2 ± 10.6 to 54.8 ± 10.9 kg in CON and from 59.2 ± 12.1 to 52.9 ± 12.0 kg in BFR (P = 0.014), with no differences between treatments (P = 0.594). Muscle protein synthesis rates during bed rest did not differ between the BFR and CON leg (1.11 ± 0.12 vs. 1.08 ± 0.13%/day, respectively; P = 0.302). Two weeks of bed rest substantially reduces skeletal muscle mass and strength. Blood flow restriction during bed rest does not modulate daily muscle protein synthesis rates and does not preserve muscle mass or strength. KEY POINTS: Bed rest, often necessary for recovery from illness or injury, leads to the loss of muscle mass and strength. It has been postulated that blood flow restriction may attenuate the loss of muscle mass and strength during bed rest. We investigated the effect of blood flow restriction on muscle protein synthesis rates, muscle mass and strength during 2 weeks of strict bed rest. Blood flow restriction applied during bed rest does not modulate daily muscle protein synthesis rates and does not preserve muscle mass or strength. Blood flow restriction is not effective in preventing muscle atrophy during a prolonged period of bed rest.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Critically ill patients suffer from acute muscle wasting, which is associated with significant physical functional impairment. We describe data from nested muscle biopsy studies from two trials of functional electrical stimulation (FES) that did not shown improvements in physical function. METHODS Primary cohort: single-centre randomized controlled trial. Additional healthy volunteer data from patients undergoing elective hip arthroplasty. Validation cohort: Four-centre randomized controlled trial. INTERVENTION FES cycling for 60-90min/day. ANALYSES Skeletal muscle mRNA expression of 223 genes underwent hierarchal clustering for targeted analysis and validation. RESULTS Positively enriched pathways between healthy volunteers and ICU participants were "stress response", "response to stimuli" and "protein metabolism", in keeping with published data. Positively enriched pathways between admission and day 7 ICU participants were "FOXO-mediated transcription" (admission = 0.48 ± 0.94, day 7 = - 0.47 ± 1.04 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.042), "Fatty acid metabolism" (admission = 0.50 ± 0.67, day 7 = 0.07 ± 1.65 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.042) and "Interleukin-1 processing" (admission = 0.88 ± 0.50, day 7 = 0.97 ± 0.76 mean log2 fold change; P = 0.054). Muscle mRNA expression of UCP3 (P = 0.030) and DGKD (P = 0.040) decreased in both cohorts with no between group differences. Changes in IL-18 were not observed in the validation cohort (P = 0.268). Targeted analyses related to intramuscular mitochondrial substrate oxidation, fatty acid oxidation and intramuscular inflammation showed PPARγ-C1α; (P < 0.001), SLC25A20 (P = 0.017) and UCP3 (P < 0.001) decreased between admission and day 7 in both arms. LPIN-1 (P < 0.001) and SPT1 (P = 0.044) decreased between admission and day 7. IL-18 (P = 0.011) and TNFRSF12A (P = 0.009) increased in both arms between admission and day 7. IL-1β (P = 0.007), its receptor IL-1R1 (P = 0.005) and IL-6R (P = 0.001) decreased in both arms between admission and day 7. No between group differences were seen in any of these (all p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Intramuscular inflammation and altered substrate utilization are persistent in skeletal muscle during first week of critical illness and are not improved by the application of Functional Electrical Stimulation-assisted exercise. Future trials of exercise to prevent muscle wasting and physical impairment are unlikely to be successful unless these processes are addressed by other means than exercise alone.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle, which accounts for approximately 40% of total body weight, is one of the most dynamic and plastic tissues in the human body and plays a vital role in movement, posture and force production. More than just a component of the locomotor system, skeletal muscle functions as an endocrine organ capable of producing and secreting hundreds of bioactive molecules. Therefore, maintaining healthy skeletal muscles is crucial for supporting overall body health. Various pathological conditions, such as prolonged immobilization, cachexia, aging, drug-induced toxicity, and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), can disrupt the balance between muscle protein synthesis and degradation, leading to skeletal muscle atrophy. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributing mechanism to skeletal muscle atrophy, as it plays crucial roles in various biological processes, including energy production, metabolic flexibility, maintenance of redox homeostasis, and regulation of apoptosis. In this review, we critically examine recent knowledge regarding the causes of muscle atrophy (disuse, cachexia, aging, etc.) and its contribution to CVDs. Additionally, we highlight the mitochondrial signaling pathways involvement to skeletal muscle atrophy, such as the ubiquitin-proteasome system, autophagy and mitophagy, mitochondrial fission-fusion, and mitochondrial biogenesis. Furthermore, we discuss current strategies, including exercise, mitochondria-targeted antioxidants, in vivo transfection of PGC-1α, and the potential use of mitochondrial transplantation as a possible therapeutic approach.

Abstract
The skeletal muscle and the immune system are heavily affected by the space environment. The crosstalk between these organs, although established, is not fully understood. This study determined the nature of immune cell changes in the murine skeletal muscle following (hindlimb) unloading combined with an acute session of irradiation (HLUR). Our findings show that 14 days of HLUR induces a significant increase of myeloid immune cell infiltration in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Long-term, high-intensity exercise can trigger stress response pathways in multiple organs, including the heart and lungs, gastrointestinal tract, skeletal muscle, and neuroendocrine system, thus affecting their material and energy metabolism, immunity, oxidative stress, and endocrine function, and reducing exercise function. As a natural, safe, and convenient nutritional supplement, probiotics have been a hot research topic in the field of biomedical health in recent years. Numerous studies have shown that probiotic supplementation improves the health of the body through the gut-brain axis and the gut-muscle axis, and probiotic supplementation may also improve the stress response and motor function of the body. This paper reviews the progress of research on the role of probiotic supplementation in material and energy metabolism, intestinal barrier function, immunity, oxidative stress, neuroendocrine function, and the health status of the body, as well as the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
"Frailty" is a term used to refer to a state characterized by enhanced vulnerability to, and impaired recovery from, stressors compared with a nonfrail state, which is increasingly viewed as a loss of resilience. With increasing life expectancy and the associated rise in years spent with physical frailty, there is a need to understand the clinical and physiological features of frailty and the factors driving it. We describe the clinical definitions of age-related frailty and their limitations in allowing us to understand the pathogenesis of this prevalent condition. Given that age-related frailty manifests in the form of functional declines such as poor balance, falls, and immobility, as an alternative we view frailty from a physiological viewpoint and describe what is known of the organ-based components of frailty, including adiposity, the brain, and neuromuscular, skeletal muscle, immune, and cardiovascular systems, as individual systems and as components in multisystem dysregulation. By doing so we aim to highlight current understanding of the physiological phenotype of frailty and reveal key knowledge gaps and potential mechanistic drivers of the trajectory to frailty. We also review the studies in humans that have intervened with exercise to reduce frailty. We conclude that more longitudinal and interventional clinical studies are required in older adults. Such observational studies should interrogate the progression from a nonfrail to a frail state, assessing individual elements of frailty to produce a deep physiological phenotype of the syndrome. The findings will identify mechanistic drivers of frailty and allow targeted interventions to diminish frailty progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Following traumatic lower-limb amputation (LLA), humans are predisposed to numerous unfavorable changes in health, including the development of secondary chronic health conditions such as metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE To determine within and between group differences in cardiometabolic component risks, body composition, and physical activity (PA) in individuals with traumatic unilateral and bilateral LLA, compared to noninjured controls. DESIGN Prospective observational cohort study. SETTING A military complex trauma rehabilitation center. PARTICIPANTS Sixteen males with traumatic LLA (8 unilateral, mean age 30 ± 5 years and 8 bilateral, mean age 29 ± 3 years). Thirteen active age-matched males with no LLA (28 ± 5 years) acted as controls and performed habitual activities of daily living. INTERVENTION Participants with LLA attended two 4-week periods of inpatient rehabilitation, separated by two 6-week periods of home-based recovery. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Venous blood samples were taken prior to and following a 75 g oral glucose load, for determination of biomarkers, including insulin and glucose, at baseline and 20 weeks. Body composition (dual X-ray absorptiometry) was measured at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks. Daily PA was recorded using a triaxial accelerometer for 7 days during inpatient rehabilitation and while at home. Energy expenditure was estimated using population-specific equations. RESULTS Individuals with bilateral LLA demonstrated more unfavorable mean body composition values, lower PA, and increased cardiometabolic health risk compared to controls. Cardiometabolic syndrome was identified in 63% of individuals with bilateral LLA. No statistically significant differences in cardiometabolic component risk factors, body composition, and estimated daily PA were reported between unilateral LLA and control groups (p > .05). While at home, mean PA counts.day-1 reduced by 17% (p = .018) and 42% (p = .001) in the unilateral and bilateral LLA groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Despite extensive inpatient rehabilitation, cardiometabolic component risks are elevated in individuals with bilateral LLA but are comparable between unilateral LLA and active noninjured control groups. Innovative strategies that improve/support the long-term PA and cardiometabolic health of severely injured individuals with bilateral LLA are warranted.

Crit Care 2023; 27:2. [PMID: 36597123 PMCID: PMC9808763 DOI: 10.1186/s13054-022-04253-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 59] [Impact Index Per Article: 59.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/23/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with critical illness can lose more than 15% of muscle mass in one week, and this can have long-term detrimental effects. However, there is currently no synthesis of the data of intensive care unit (ICU) muscle wasting studies, so the true mean rate of muscle loss across all studies is unknown. The aim of this project was therefore to systematically synthetise data on the rate of muscle loss and to identify the methods used to measure muscle size and to synthetise data on the prevalence of ICU-acquired weakness in critically ill patients. METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search of MEDLINE, PubMed, AMED, BNI, CINAHL, and EMCARE until January 2022 (International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews [PROSPERO] registration: CRD420222989540. We included studies with at least 20 adult critically ill patients where the investigators measured a muscle mass-related variable at two time points during the ICU stay. We followed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and assessed the study quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Fifty-two studies that included 3251 patients fulfilled the selection criteria. These studies investigated the rate of muscle wasting in 1773 (55%) patients and assessed ICU-acquired muscle weakness in 1478 (45%) patients. The methods used to assess muscle mass were ultrasound in 85% (n = 28/33) of the studies and computed tomography in the rest 15% (n = 5/33). During the first week of critical illness, patients lost every day -1.75% (95% CI -2.05, -1.45) of their rectus femoris thickness or -2.10% (95% CI -3.17, -1.02) of rectus femoris cross-sectional area. The overall prevalence of ICU-acquired weakness was 48% (95% CI 39%, 56%). CONCLUSION On average, critically ill patients lose nearly 2% of skeletal muscle per day during the first week of ICU admission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine the demographic and lifestyle characteristics related to the dietary inflammatory index (DII™) score and to evaluate the association between DII score and disability among older people in Japan. DESIGN Cross-sectional design. The DII score was calculated from nutrient intake information obtained from a FFQ. Disability was assessed using the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology Index of Competence questionnaire. Overall disability and disability in each component of everyday competence, that is, instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), intellectual activities and social participation, were assessed. Those with a deficit in one or more activities were defined as disabled. SETTING Five non-urban areas in Japan. PARTICIPANTS A total of 1642 Japanese older people aged 65 years or older. RESULTS Women, residents of Oga-shi, and those with a higher education and greater frequency of shopping followed a more anti-inflammatory diet, while those living alone and residents of Minamiawaji-shi had higher dietary inflammation. A pro-inflammatory diet was associated with higher odds of overall disability and disability in each component of competence: overall disability, OR (95 % CI) = 1·26 (1·16, 1·36); IADL disability, OR (95 % CI) = 1·16 (1·07, 1·26); disability in intellectual activities, OR (95 % CI): 1·30 (1·20, 1·40); and disability in social participation, OR (95 % CI) = 1·20 (1·11, 1·29). CONCLUSIONS Sex, living alone, education, frequency of shopping and area of residence were shown to be determinants of DII score in Japanese older people. DII score was positively associated with disability.

Abstract
Background Sarcopenia is associated with various adverse outcomes in hemodialysis patients. However, current tools for assessing and diagnosing sarcopenia have limited applicability. In this study, we aimed to develop a simple and reliable nomogram to predict the risk of sarcopenia in hemodialysis patients that could assist physicians identify high-risk patients early. Methods A total of 615 patients undergoing hemodialysis at the First Affiliated Hospital College of Medicine Zhejiang University between March to June 2021 were included. They were randomly divided into either the development cohort (n = 369) or the validation cohort (n = 246). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to screen statistically significant variables for constructing the risk prediction nomogram for Sarcopenia. The line plots were drawn to evaluate the effectiveness of the nomogram in three aspects, namely differentiation, calibration, and clinical net benefit, and were further validated by the Bootstrap method. Results The study finally included five clinical factors to construct the nomogram, including age, C-reactive protein, serum phosphorus, body mass index, and mid-upper arm muscle circumference, and constructed a nomogram. The area under the ROC curve of the line chart model was 0.869, with a sensitivity and specificity of 77% sensitivity and 83%, the Youden index was 0.60, and the internal verification C-statistic was 0.783. Conclusions This study developed and validated a nomogram model to predict the risk of sarcopenia in hemodialysis patients, which can be used for early identification and timely intervention in high-risk groups.

Abstract
Surgical patients are at an increased risk of negative outcomes if they are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition preoperatively. Optimisation of nutritional status should be a focus throughout the perioperative continuum to promote improved surgical outcomes. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocols are increasingly applied in the surgical setting but are not yet widespread. This narrative review focused on areas of perioperative nutrition that are perceived as controversial or are lacking in agreement. A search for available literature was conducted on 1 March 2022 and relevant high-quality articles published since 2015 were considered for inclusion. Most malnutrition screening tools are not specific to the surgical population except for the Perioperative Nutrition Screen (PONS) although more large-scale initiatives are needed to improve the prevalence of preoperative nutrition screening. Poor muscle health is common in patients with malnutrition and further exacerbates negative health outcomes indicating that prevention, detection and treatment is of high importance in this population. Although a lack of consensus remains for who should receive preoperative nutritional therapy, evidence suggests a positive impact on muscle health. Additionally, postoperative nutritional support benefits surgical outcomes, with some patients requiring enteral and/or parenteral feeding routes and showing benefit from immunonutrition. The importance of nutrition extends beyond the time in hospital and should remain a priority post-discharge. The impact of individual or personalised nutrition based on select patient characteristics remains to be further investigated. Overall, the importance of perioperative nutrition is evident in the literature despite select ongoing areas of contention.

Abstract
AIMS Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the related receptors TrkB and p75NTR are expressed in skeletal muscle, yet their functions remain to be fully understood. Skeletal muscle denervation, which occurs in spinal injury, peripheral neuropathies, and aging, negatively affects muscle mass and function. In this study, we wanted to understand the role of BDNF, TrkB, and p75NTR in denervation-induced adverse effects on skeletal muscle. MAIN METHODS Mice with unilateral sciatic denervation were used. Protein levels of pro- and mature BDNF, TrkB, p75NTR, activations of their downstream signaling pathways, and inflammation in the control and denervated muscle were measured with Western blot and tissue staining. Treatment with a p75NTR inhibitor and BDNF skeletal muscle specific knockout in mice were used to examine the role of p75NTR and pro-BDNF. KEY FINDINGS In denervated muscle, pro-BDNF and p75NTR were significantly upregulated, and JNK and NF-kB, two major downstream signaling pathways of p75NTR, were activated, along with muscle atrophy and inflammation. Inhibition of p75NTR using LM11A-31 significantly reduced JNK activation and inflammatory cytokines in the denervated muscle. Moreover, skeletal muscle specific knockout of BDNF reduced pro-BDNF level, JNK activation and inflammation in the denervated muscle. SIGNIFICANCE These results reveal for the first time that the upregulation of pro-BDNF and activation of p75NTR pathway are involved in denervation-induced inflammation in skeletal muscle. The results suggest that inhibition of pro-BDNF-p75NTR pathway can be a new target to treat skeletal muscle inflammation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients are at high risk of sarcopenia. Gut microbiota affects host metabolic and may act in the occurrence of sarcopenia importantly. This study aimed to study the characterization of the gut microbiota in MHD patients with sarcopenia, and to further reveal the complex pathophysiology of sarcopenia in MHD patients. METHODS Fecal samples and clinical data were collected from 30 MHD patients with sarcopenia, and 30 age-and-sex-matched MHD patients without sarcopenia in 1 general hospital of Jiangsu Province from December 2020 to March 2021. 16S rRNA sequencing technology was used to analyze the genetic sequence of the gut microbiota for evaluation of the diversity, species composition, and differential microbiota of the two groups. RESULTS Compared to MHD patients without sarcopenia, the ACE index of patients with sarcopenia was lower (P = 0.014), and there was a structural difference in the β-diversity between the two groups (P = 0.001). At the genus level, the relative abundance of Tyzzerella_4 in the sarcopenia group was significantly higher than in the non-sarcopenia group (P = 0.039), and the relative abundance of Megamonas (P = 0.004), Coprococcus_2 (P = 0.038), and uncultured_bacterium_f_Muribaculaceae (P = 0.040) decreased significantly. CONCLUSION The diversity and structure of the gut microbiota of MHD patients with sarcopenia were altered. The occurrence of sarcopenia in MHD patients may be influenced by gut microbiota.

Abstract
Maintenance of skeletal muscle mass and function is an incredibly nuanced balance of anabolism and catabolism that can become distorted within different pathological conditions. In this paper we intend to discuss the distinct intracellular signaling events that regulate muscle protein atrophy for a given clinical occurrence. Aside from the common outcome of muscle deterioration, several conditions have at least one or more distinct mechanisms that creates unique intracellular environments that facilitate muscle loss. The subtle individuality to each of these given pathologies can provide both researchers and clinicians with specific targets of interest to further identify and increase the efficacy of medical treatments and interventions.

Larger improvements in fatigue resistance and mitochondrial function with high- than with low-intensity contractions during interval training of mouse skeletal muscle. FASEB J 2021; 35:e21988. [PMID: 34665879 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202101204r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2021] [Revised: 09/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Interval training (IT) results in improved fatigue resistance in skeletal muscle mainly due to an increased aerobic capacity, which involves increased muscle mitochondrial content and/or improved mitochondrial function. We hypothesized that IT with high-intensity contractions is more effective in increasing mitochondrial function, and hence fatigue resistance, than low-intensity contractions. To study this hypothesis without interference from differences in muscle fiber recruitment obliged to occur during voluntary contractions, IT was performed with in situ supramaximal electrical stimulation where all muscle fibers are recruited. We compared the effect of IT with repeated low-intensity (20 Hz stimulation, IT20) and high-intensity (100 Hz stimulation, IT100) contractions on fatigue resistance and mitochondrial content and function in mouse plantar flexor muscles. Muscles were stimulated every other day for 4 weeks. The averaged peak torque during IT bouts was 4.2-fold higher with IT100 than with IT20. Both stimulation protocols markedly improved in situ fatigue resistance, although the improvement was larger with IT100. The citrate synthase activity, a biomarker of mitochondrial content, was similarly increased with IT20 and IT100. Conversely, increased expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) complexes I, III, and IV was only observed with IT100 and this was accompanied by increases in MRC supercomplex formation and pyruvate-malate-driven state 3 respiration in isolated mitochondria. In conclusion, the IT-induced increase in fatigue resistance is larger with high-intensity than with low-intensity contractions and this is linked to improved mitochondrial function due to increased expression of MRC complexes and assembly of MRC supercomplexes.

Peripheral impairments of oxidative metabolism after a 10-day bed rest are upstream of mitochondrial respiration. J Physiol 2021; 599:4813-4829. [PMID: 34505290 PMCID: PMC9293208 DOI: 10.1113/jp281800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 09/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract In order to identify peripheral biomarkers of impaired oxidative metabolism during exercise following a 10‐day bed rest, 10 males performed an incremental exercise (to determine peak pulmonary V̇O2 (V̇O2p)) and moderate‐intensity exercises, before (PRE) and after (POST) bed rest. Blood flow response was evaluated in the common femoral artery by Eco‐Doppler during 1 min of passive leg movements (PLM). The intramuscular matching between O2 delivery and O2 utilization was evaluated by near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Mitochondrial respiration was evaluated ex vivo by high‐resolution respirometry in isolated muscle fibres, and in vivo by NIRS by the evaluation of skeletal muscle V̇O2 (V̇O2m) recovery kinetics. Resting V̇O2m was estimated by NIRS. Peak V̇O2p was lower in POST vs. PRE. The area under the blood flow vs. time curve during PLM was smaller (P = 0.03) in POST (274 ± 233 mL) vs. PRE (427 ± 291). An increased (P = 0.03) overshoot of muscle deoxygenation during a metabolic transition was identified in POST. Skeletal muscle citrate synthase activity was not different (P = 0.11) in POST (131 ± 16 nmol min–1 mg–1) vs. PRE (138 ± 19). Maximal ADP‐stimulated mitochondrial respiration (66 ± 18 pmol s–1 mg–1 (POST) vs. 72 ± 14 (PRE), P = 0.41) was not affected by bed rest. Apparent Km for ADP sensitivity of mitochondrial respiration was reduced in POST vs. PRE (P = 0.04). The V̇O2m recovery time constant was not different (P = 0.79) in POST (22 ± 6 s) vs. PRE (22 ± 6). Resting V̇O2m was reduced by 25% in POST vs. PRE (P = 0.006). Microvascular‐endothelial function was impaired following a 10‐day bed rest, whereas mitochondrial mass and function (both in vivo and ex vivo) were unaffected or slightly enhanced. Key points Ten days of horizontal bed rest impaired in vivo oxidative function during exercise. Microvascular impairments were identified by different methods. Mitochondrial mass and mitochondrial function (evaluated both in vivo and ex vivo) were unchanged or even improved (i.e. enhanced mitochondrial sensitivity to submaximal [ADP]). Resting muscle oxygen uptake was significantly lower following bed rest, suggesting that muscle catabolic processes induced by bed rest/inactivity are less energy‐consuming than anabolic ones.

Abstract
Background Inflammation may trigger skeletal muscle atrophy induced by cancer cachexia. As a pro-inflammatory factor, interleukin-6 may cause skeletal muscle atrophy, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have not been explored. Methods In this experimental study, we used adult male ICR mice, weighing 25 ± 2 g, and the continuous infusion of interleukin-6 into the tibialis anterior muscle to construct a skeletal muscle atrophy model (experimental group). A control group received a saline infusion. RNA-sequencing was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes in tissue samples after one and three days. Gene Ontology and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis were applied to define the function of these genes, and protein-protein interaction analysis was performed to identify potential transcription factors. Fluorescence microscopy was used to determine the muscle fiber cross-sectional area after 14 days. Results Continuous infusion of interleukin-6 for 14 days caused significant muscle atrophy. RNA-sequencing found 359 differentially expressed genes in the 1- and 3-day tissue samples and 1748 differentially expressed genes only in the 3-day samples. Functional analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes found in both the 1- and 3-day samples were associated with immune receptor activation, whereas the differentially expressed genes found only in the 3-day sample were associated with reduced energy metabolism. The expression of multiple genes in the oxidative phosphorylation and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways was down-regulated. Furthermore, differentially expressed transcription factors were identified, and their interaction with interleukin-6 and the differentially expressed genes was predicted, which indicated that STAT3, NF-κB, TP53 and MyoG may play an important role in the process of interleukin-6-induced muscle atrophy. Conclusions This study found that interleukin-6 caused skeletal muscle atrophy through immune receptor activation and a reduction of the energy metabolism. Several transcription factors downstream of IL-6 have the potential to become new regulators of skeletal muscle atrophy. This study not only enriches the molecular regulation mechanism of muscle atrophy, but also provides a potential target for targeted therapy of muscle atrophy.

Short-Term Immobilization Promotes a Rapid Loss of Motor Evoked Potentials and Strength That Is Not Rescued by rTMS Treatment. Front Hum Neurosci 2021; 15:640642.

Abstract
Short-term limb immobilization results in skeletal muscle decline, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. This study aimed to determine the neurophysiologic basis of immobilization-induced skeletal muscle decline, and whether repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) could prevent any decline. Twenty-four healthy young males (20 ± 0.5 years) underwent unilateral limb immobilization for 72 h. Subjects were randomized between daily rTMS (n = 12) using six 20 Hz pulse trains of 1.5 s duration with a 60 s inter-train-interval delivered at 90% resting Motor Threshold (rMT), or Sham rTMS (n = 12) throughout immobilization. Maximal grip strength, EMG activity, arm volume, and composition were determined at 0 and 72 h. Motor Evoked Potentials (MEPs) were determined daily throughout immobilization to index motor excitability. Immobilization induced a significant reduction in motor excitability across time (−30% at 72 h; p < 0.05). The rTMS intervention increased motor excitability at 0 h (+13%, p < 0.05). Despite daily rTMS treatment, there was still a significant reduction in motor excitability (−33% at 72 h, p < 0.05), loss in EMG activity (−23.5% at 72 h; p < 0.05), and a loss of maximal grip strength (−22%, p < 0.001) after immobilization. Interestingly, the increase in biceps (Sham vs. rTMS) (+0.8 vs. +0.1 mm, p < 0.01) and posterior forearm (+0.3 vs. +0.0 mm, p < 0.05) skinfold thickness with immobilization in Sham treatment was not observed following rTMS treatment. Reduced MEPs drive the loss of strength with immobilization. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation cannot prevent this loss of strength but further investigation and optimization of neuroplasticity protocols may have therapeutic benefit.

Abstract
One major cause of traumatic injury is firearm-related wounds (i.e., ballistic trauma), common in both civilian and military populations, which is increasing in prevalence and has serious long-term health and socioeconomic consequences worldwide. Common primary injuries of ballistic trauma include soft-tissue damage and loss, haemorrhage, bone fracture, and pain. The majority of injuries are of musculoskeletal origin and located in the extremities, such that skeletal muscle offers a major therapeutic target to aid recovery and return to normal daily activities. However, the underlying pathophysiology of skeletal muscle ballistic trauma remains poorly understood, with limited evidence-based treatment options. As such, this review will address the topic of firearm-related skeletal muscle injury and regeneration. We first introduce trauma ballistics and the immediate injury of skeletal muscle, followed by detailed coverage of the underlying biological mechanisms involved in regulating skeletal muscle dysfunction following injury, with a specific focus on the processes of muscle regeneration, muscle wasting and vascular impairments. Finally, we evaluate novel approaches for minimising muscle damage and enhancing muscle regeneration after ballistic trauma, which may have important relevance for primary care in victims of violence.

Abstract
The effects of beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) complex administration and the significance of titin, a biomarker of muscle injury, in elderly minor trauma patients in acute phase has not been established. In this single-center, randomized controlled study, trauma patients aged ≥ 70 years with an injury severity score < 16 were included. Titin values on days 1 and 3 were measured and the intervention group received HMB complex (2.4 g of HMB + 14 g of glutamine + 14 g of arginine) and the control group received glutamine complex (7.2 g of protein including 6 g of glutamine). The cross-sectional area of the rectus femoris (RFCSA) on ultrasound, grip strength, and the Barthel Index were assessed on the first day of rehabilitation and after 2 weeks. We analyzed 24 HMB and 25 control participants. Titin values on day 3 correlated with grip strength (r = -0.34, p = 0.03) and the Barthel Index (r = -0.39, p = 0.01) at follow-up. HMB complex supplementation had no effect on the RFCSA (2.41 vs. 2.45 cm2, p = 0.887), grip strength (13.3 vs. 13.1 kg, p = 0.946), or the Barthel Index (20.0 vs. 50.0, p = 0.404) at follow-up. Titin values might associate with subsequent physical function. Short-term HMB complex supplementation from acute phase did not ameliorate muscle injury.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the impact of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic on physical activity levels and sedentary behavior among Brazilians residents aged ≥18 years. Methods An online survey was distributed through a social media platform between May 5 and 17, 2020. Participants completed a structured questionnaire in Google Forms, which assessed the physical activity level and sedentary behavior of adults in Brazil during the pandemic. Results Age (OR: 0.98; 95%CI: 0.97-0.99), chronic disease (OR: 1.29; 95%CI: 1.03-1.63), physical inactivity before the coronavirus 2019 pandemic (OR: 2.20; 95%CI: 1.78-2.72) and overweight (OR: 1.34; 95%CI: 1.09-1.65) showed higher risk of impact on physical activity levels. Increased sitting time was associated with older individuals (OR: 0.97; 95%CI: 0.96-0.98), inactivity (OR: 1.51; 95%CI: 1.16-1.96), chronic disease (OR: 1.65; 95%CI: 1.23-2.22), higher number of days in social isolation (OR: 1.01; 95%CI: 1.00-1.02) and higher schooling levels (OR: 1.87; 95%CI: 1.26-2.78). Conclusion Our results demonstrated that advanced age, chronic disease and physical inactivity before social isolation had a greater risk of impact on reduced physical activity levels and increased sitting time during the coronavirus 2019 disease pandemic.

Abstract
The muscle-specific ubiquitin ligase MuRF1 regulates muscle catabolism during chronic wasting states, although its roles in general metabolism are less-studied. Here, we metabolically profiled MuRF1-deficient knockout mice. We also included knockout mice for MuRF2 as its closely related gene homolog. MuRF1 and MuRF2-KO (knockout) mice have elevated serum glucose, elevated triglycerides, and reduced glucose tolerance. In addition, MuRF2-KO mice have a reduced tolerance to a fat-rich diet. Western blot and enzymatic studies on MuRF1-KO skeletal muscle showed perturbed FoxO-Akt signaling, elevated Akt-Ser-473 activation, and downregulated oxidative mitochondrial metabolism, indicating potential mechanisms for MuRF1,2-dependent glucose and fat metabolism regulation. Consistent with this, the adenoviral re-expression of MuRF1 in KO mice normalized Akt-Ser-473, serum glucose, and triglycerides. Finally, we tested the MuRF1/2 inhibitors MyoMed-205 and MyoMed-946 in a mouse model for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). After 28 days of treatment, T2DM mice developed progressive muscle weakness detected by wire hang tests, but this was attenuated by the MyoMed-205 treatment. While MyoMed-205 and MyoMed-946 had no significant effects on serum glucose, they did normalize the lymphocyte-granulocyte counts in diabetic sera as indicators of the immune response. Thus, small molecules directed to MuRF1 may be useful in attenuating skeletal muscle strength loss in T2DM conditions.

Abstract
Two highly prevalent and growing global diseases impacted by skeletal muscle atrophy are chronic heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The presence of either condition increases the likelihood of developing the other, with recent studies revealing a large and relatively poorly characterized clinical population of patients with coexistent HF and DM (HFDM). HFDM results in worse symptoms and poorer clinical outcomes compared with DM or HF alone, and cardiovascular-focused disease-modifying agents have proven less effective in HFDM indicating a key role of the periphery. This review combines current clinical knowledge and basic biological mechanisms to address the critical emergence of skeletal muscle atrophy in patients with HFDM as a key driver of symptoms. We discuss how the degree of skeletal muscle wasting in patients with HFDM is likely underpinned by a variety of mechanisms that include mitochondrial dysfunction, insulin resistance, inflammation, and lipotoxicity. Given many atrophic triggers (e.g. ubiquitin proteasome/autophagy/calpain activity and supressed IGF1-Akt-mTORC1 signalling) are linked to increased production of reactive oxygen species, we speculate that a higher pro-oxidative state in HFDM could be a unifying mechanism that promotes accelerated fibre atrophy. Overall, our proposal is that patients with HFDM represent a unique clinical population, prompting a review of treatment strategies including further focus on elucidating potential mechanisms and therapeutic targets of muscle atrophy in these distinct patients.

Abstract
Inactivity is associated with the development of numerous disorders. Regular aerobic exercise is broadly used as a key intervention to prevent and treat these pathological conditions. In our meta-analysis we aimed to identify and compare (i) the transcriptomic signatures related to disuse, regular and acute aerobic exercise in human skeletal muscle and (ii) the biological effects and transcription factors associated with these transcriptomic changes. A standardized workflow with robust cut-off criteria was used to analyze 27 transcriptomic datasets for the vastus lateralis muscle of healthy humans subjected to disuse, regular and acute aerobic exercise. We evaluated the role of transcriptional regulation in the phenotypic changes described in the literature. The responses to chronic interventions (disuse and regular training) partially correspond to the phenotypic effects. Acute exercise induces changes that are mainly related to the regulation of gene expression, including a strong enrichment of several transcription factors (most of which are related to the ATF/CREB/AP-1 superfamily) and a massive increase in the expression levels of genes encoding transcription factors and co-activators. Overall, the adaptation strategies of skeletal muscle to decreased and increased levels of physical activity differ in direction and demonstrate qualitative differences that are closely associated with the activation of different sets of transcription factors.

Abstract
Objectives The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether intramuscular BoNT/A injections cause an systemic inflammatory response and a local inflammatory response in the muscle tissue. Methods Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats treated with BoNT/A (i.m., 1IU) were divided in four groups, depending on the time of BoNT/A injection (2 days before, 1, 2, and 4 weeks before the experiment). Bio-Plex Pro Rat Cytokine 23-plex Multiplex Assay (Bio-Rad, USA). Results Systemic inflammation: 17 cytokines (IL1-α ( p = 0.005), IL-1β ( p = 0.01), IL-2 ( p = 0.04), IL-4 ( p = 0.03), IL-6 ( p = 0.03), IL-10 ( p = 0.02), IL12(p70) ( p = 0.03), IL-13 ( p = 0.04), IL-17 ( p = 0.03), GM-CSF ( p = 0.03), INF-γ ( p = 0.03), MIP-1α ( p = 0.03), MIP-3α ( p = 0.04), RANTES ( p = 0.001), TNF-α ( p = 0.04), vascular endothelial growth factor ( p = 0.03), and MCP-1 ( p = 0.02)) showed significantly higher expression levels 2 days after intramuscular BoNT/A injections compared to other time points (1, 2, and 4 weeks). Local inflammation: 12 cytokines (IL-1β ( p = 0.02), IL-6 ( p = 0.002), IL-10 ( p = 0.02), IL-13 ( p = 0.04), IL-17 ( p = 0.02), TNF-α ( p = 0.001), GM-CSF ( p = 0.01), M-CSF ( p = 0.04), MIP-1α ( p = 0.04), MIP-3α ( p = 0.002), RANTES ( p = 0.02), and MCP-1( p = 0.004)) showed higher expression levels 2 and/or 4 weeks after intramuscular BoNT/A injections compared to the other time points (2 days and 1 week). Conclusion Intramuscular BoNT/A injections result in a rapid systemic inflammatory response that only lasts a couple of days. At the same time, intramuscular BoNT/A injections cause an inflammatory response locally in the muscle with significantly higher cytokine levels 2 and/or 4 weeks after injections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Malnutrition has been recognized as a major risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes. The ESPEN Symposium on perioperative nutrition was held in Nottingham, UK, on 14-15 October 2018 and the aims of this document were to highlight the scientific basis for the nutritional and metabolic management of surgical patients. METHODS This paper represents the opinion of experts in this multidisciplinary field and those of a patient and caregiver, based on current evidence. It highlights the current state of the art. RESULTS Surgical patients may present with varying degrees of malnutrition, sarcopenia, cachexia, obesity and myosteatosis. Preoperative optimization can help improve outcomes. Perioperative fluid therapy should aim at keeping the patient in as near zero fluid and electrolyte balance as possible. Similarly, glycemic control is especially important in those patients with poorly controlled diabetes, with a stepwise increase in the risk of infectious complications and mortality per increasing HbA1c. Immobilization can induce a decline in basal energy expenditure, reduced insulin sensitivity, anabolic resistance to protein nutrition and muscle strength, all of which impair clinical outcomes. There is a role for pharmaconutrition, pre-, pro- and syn-biotics, with the evidence being stronger in those undergoing surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. CONCLUSIONS Nutritional assessment of the surgical patient together with the appropriate interventions to restore the energy deficit, avoid weight loss, preserve the gut microbiome and improve functional performance are all necessary components of the nutritional, metabolic and functional conditioning of the surgical patient.

Abstract
Aims/hypothesis This study aimed to examine if beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) is (i) secreted by skeletal muscle in humans during exercise, (ii) associated with insulin secretory function in vivo, and (iii) directly linked with acute glucose-mediated insulin release by pancreatic beta cells in vitro. Methods Following 2-weeks of single-leg immobilization, plasma BAIBA concentrations were measured in the brachial artery and the femoral veins of each leg in healthy male subjects, at rest and during two-legged dynamic knee-extensor exercise. During a 2-h hyperglycamic clamp, insulin secretory function and levels of plasma BAIBA were assessed in non-diabetic individuals, non-diabetic individuals following 24-h hyperglycemia and patients with type 2 diabetes. Direct effects of BAIBA on acute glucose-mediated insulin release were probed in INS-1832/3 cells under normal and ‘diabetes-like’ conditions. Finally, the effect of BAIBA on mitochondrial function was assessed in INS-1832/3 cells using extracellular flux analysis. Results (i) BAIBA is released from skeletal muscle at rest and during exercise under healthy conditions but is suppressed during exercise following leg immobilization, (ii) plasma BAIBA concentrations inversely associate with insulin secretory function in humans, (iii) BAIBA lowers mitochondrial energy metabolism in INS-1 832/3 cells in parallel with decreased insulin secretion Conclusion/interpretation: BAIBA is a myokine released by skeletal muscle during exercise and indepedantly alters the triggering pathway of insulin secretion in cultured INS-1832/3 cells.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is accompanied by pain, inflammation and muscle weakness. Skeletal muscle inflammation and inactivity are independently associated with muscle insulin resistance and atrophy. Our objective was to identify early molecular and biochemical markers in muscle from a rodent model of RA relative to control and subsequently identify commonality in muscle gene expression between this model and muscle from RA patients. Pain behaviour and locomotor activity were measured in a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model of RA (n = 9) and control (n = 9) rats. Energy substrates and metabolites, total alkaline-soluble protein:DNA ratio and mRNA abundance of 46 targeted genes were also determined in Extensor digitorum longus muscle. Expression of targeted mRNAs was quantified in Vastus Lateralis muscle from RA patients (n = 7) and healthy age-matched control volunteers (n = 6). CIA rats exhibited pain behaviour (p<0.01) and reduced activity (p<0.05) compared to controls. Muscle glycogen content was less (p<0.05) and muscle lactate content greater (p<0.01) in CIA rats. The bioinformatics analysis of muscle mRNA abundance differences from the control, predicted the activation of muscle protein metabolism and inhibition of muscle carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism in CIA rats. Compared to age-matched control volunteers, RA patients exhibited altered muscle mRNA expression of 8 of the transcripts included as targets in the CIA model of RA. In conclusion, muscle energy metabolism and metabolic gene expression were altered in the CIA model, which was partly corroborated by targeted muscle mRNA measurements in RA patients. This research highlights the negative impact of RA on skeletal muscle metabolic homeostasis.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle wasting represents a common trait in many conditions, including aging, cancer, heart failure, immobilization, and critical illness. Loss of muscle mass leads to impaired functional mobility and severely impedes the quality of life. At present, exercise training remains the only proven treatment for muscle atrophy, yet many patients are too ill, frail, bedridden, or neurologically impaired to perform physical exertion. The development of novel therapeutic strategies that can be applied to an in vivo context and attenuate secondary myopathies represents an unmet medical need. This review discusses recent progress in understanding the molecular pathways involved in regulating skeletal muscle wasting with a focus on pro-catabolic factors, in particular, the ubiquitin-proteasome system and its activating muscle-specific E3 ligase RING-finger protein 1 (MuRF1). Mechanistic progress has provided the opportunity to design experimental therapeutic concepts that may affect the ubiquitin-proteasome system and prevent subsequent muscle wasting, with novel advances made in regards to nutritional supplements, nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFκB) inhibitors, myostatin antibodies, β2 adrenergic agonists, and small-molecules interfering with MuRF1, which all emerge as a novel in vivo treatment strategies for muscle wasting.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health crisis as entire populations have been asked to self-isolate and live in home-confinement for several weeks to months, which in itself represents a physiological challenge with significant health risks. This paper describes the impact of sedentarism on the human body at the level of the muscular, cardiovascular, metabolic, endocrine and nervous systems and is based on evidence from several models of inactivity, including bed rest, unilateral limb suspension, and step-reduction. Data form these studies show that muscle wasting occurs rapidly, being detectable within two days of inactivity. This loss of muscle mass is associated with fibre denervation, neuromuscular junction damage and upregulation of protein breakdown, but is mostly explained by the suppression of muscle protein synthesis. Inactivity also affects glucose homeostasis as just few days of step reduction or bed rest, reduce insulin sensitivity, principally in muscle. Additionally, aerobic capacity is impaired at all levels of the O2 cascade, from the cardiovascular system, including peripheral circulation, to skeletal muscle oxidative function. Positive energy balance during physical inactivity is associated with fat deposition, associated with systemic inflammation and activation of antioxidant defences, exacerbating muscle loss. Importantly, these deleterious effects of inactivity can be diminished by routine exercise practice, but the exercise dose-response relationship is currently unknown. Nevertheless, low to medium-intensity high volume resistive exercise, easily implementable in home-settings, will have positive effects, particularly if combined with a 15-25% reduction in daily energy intake. This combined regimen seems ideal for preserving neuromuscular, metabolic and cardiovascular health.

Abstract
Chronic inflammation (CI) can contribute to muscle atrophy and sarcopenia. Resistance exercise (RE) promotes increased and/or maintenance of skeletal muscle mass, but the effects of RE in the presence of CI are unclear. In this study, we developed a novel animal model of CI-induced muscle atrophy and examined the effect of acute or chronic RE by electrical stimulation. CI was induced in young female Lewis rats by injection with peptidoglycan-polysaccharide (PG-PS). Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), p70S6 kinase (p70S6K), 4E binding protein 1 (4E-BP1), Akt, and Forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) phosphorylation levels increased in gastrocnemius (Gas) muscle from normal rats subjected to acute RE. After acute RE in CI rats, increased levels of phosphorylated ERK, p70S6K, and 4E-BP1, but not Akt or FOXO1, were observed. Chronic RE significantly increased the Gas weight in the exercised limb relative to the nontrained opposing limb in CI rats. Dietary supplementation with anti-inflammatory agents, eicosapentaenoic/docosahexaenoic acid and α-lactalbumin attenuated CI-induced muscle atrophy in the untrained Gas and could promote RE-induced inhibition of atrophy in the trained Gas. In the trained leg, significant negative correlations ( r ≤ −0.80) were seen between Gas weights and CI indices, including proinflammatory cytokines and white blood cell count. These results indicated that the anabolic effects of RE are effective for preventing CI-induced muscle atrophy but are partially attenuated by inflammatory molecules. The findings also suggested that anti-inflammatory treatment together with RE is an effective intervention for muscle atrophy induced by CI. Taken together, we conclude that systemic inflammation levels are associated with skeletal muscle protein metabolism and plasticity. NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study developed a novel chronic inflammation (CI) model rat demonstrating that resistance exercise (RE) induced activation of protein synthesis signaling pathways and mitigated skeletal muscle atrophy. These anabolic effects were partially abrogated likely through attenuation of Akt/Forkhead box O1 axis activity. The degree of skeletal muscle atrophy was related to inflammatory responses. Dietary supplementation with anti-inflammatory agents could enhance the anabolic effect of RE. Our findings provide insight for development of countermeasures for CI-related muscle atrophy, especially secondary sarcopenia.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome, characterized by central obesity, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, increases the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and other metabolic diseases. It is well known that insulin resistance, especially hepatic insulin resistance, is a risk factor for metabolic syndrome. Current research has shown that hepatic fatty acid accumulation can cause hepatic insulin resistance through increased gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis, chronic inflammation, oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, and impaired insulin signal pathway. Mitochondria are the major sites of fatty acid β-oxidation, which is the major degradation mechanism of fatty acids. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been shown to be involved in the development of hepatic fatty acid–induced hepatic insulin resistance. Mitochondrial autophagy (mitophagy), a catabolic process, selectively degrades damaged mitochondria to reverse mitochondrial dysfunction and preserve mitochondrial dynamics and function. Therefore, mitophagy can promote mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation to inhibit hepatic fatty acid accumulation and improve hepatic insulin resistance. Here, we review advances in our understanding of the relationship between mitophagy and hepatic insulin resistance. Additionally, we also highlight the potential value of mitophagy in the treatment of hepatic insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Flaxseed oil is rich in α-linolenic acid (ALA), which is the metabolic precursor of EPA and DHA. The present study investigated the effect of flaxseed oil supplementation on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced muscle atrophy and carbohydrate oxidation impairment in a piglet model. Twenty-four weaned pigs were used in a 2 × 2 factorial experiment including dietary treatment (5 % maize oil v. 5 % flaxseed oil) and LPS challenge (saline v. LPS). On day 21 of treatment, the pigs were injected intraperitoneally with 100 μg/kg body weight LPS or sterile saline. At 4 h after injection, blood, gastrocnemius muscle and longissimus dorsi muscle were collected. Flaxseed oil supplementation increased ALA, EPA, total n-3 PUFA contents, protein:DNA ratio and pyruvate dehydrogenase complex quantity in muscles (P < 0·05). In addition, flaxseed oil reduced mRNA expression of toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 and nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain protein (NOD) 2 and their downstream signalling molecules in muscles and decreased plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8, and mRNA expression of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 (P < 0·05). Moreover, flaxseed oil inclusion increased the ratios of phosphorylated protein kinase B (Akt) 1:total Akt1 and phosphorylated Forkhead box O (FOXO) 1:total FOXO1 and reduced mRNA expression of FOXO1, muscle RING finger (MuRF) 1 and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 in muscles (P < 0·05). These results suggest that flaxseed oil might have a positive effect on alleviating muscle protein loss and carbohydrates oxidation impairment induced by LPS challenge through regulation of the TLR4/NOD and Akt/FOXO signalling pathways.

Abstract
Ingestion of omega-3 fatty acids is known to exert favorable health effects on a number of biological processes such as improved immune profile, enhanced cognition, and optimized neuromuscular function. Recently, data have emerged demonstrating a positive influence of omega-3 fatty acid intake on skeletal muscle. For instance, there are reports of clinically-relevant gains in muscle size and strength in healthy older persons with omega-3 fatty acid intake as well as evidence that omega-3 fatty acid ingestion alleviates the loss of muscle mass and prevents decrements in mitochondrial respiration during periods of muscle-disuse. Cancer cachexia that is characterized by a rapid involuntary loss of lean mass may also be attenuated by omega-3 fatty acid provision. The primary means by which omega-3 fatty acids positively impact skeletal muscle mass is via incorporation of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n−3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n−3) into membrane phospholipids of the sarcolemma and intracellular organelles. Enrichment of EPA and DHA in these membrane phospholipids is linked to enhanced rates of muscle protein synthesis, decreased expression of factors that regulate muscle protein breakdown, and improved mitochondrial respiration kinetics. However, exactly how incorporation of EPA and DHA into phospholipid membranes alters these processes remains unknown. In this review, we discuss the interaction between omega-3 fatty acid ingestion and skeletal muscle protein turnover in response to nutrient provision in younger and older adults. Additionally, we examine the role of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation in protecting muscle loss during muscle-disuse and in cancer cachexia, and critically evaluate the molecular mechanisms that underpin the phenotypic changes observed in skeletal muscle with omega-3 fatty acid intake.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a key feature of the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of medical disorders that together increase the chance of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In turn, type 2 diabetes may cause complications such as diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Obesity is a major risk factor for developing systemic insulin resistance, and skeletal muscle is the first tissue in susceptible individuals to lose its insulin responsiveness. Interestingly, lean individuals are not immune to insulin resistance either. Non-obese, non-diabetic subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD), for example, exhibit insulin resistance at the very onset of CKD, even before clinical symptoms of renal failure are clear. This uraemic insulin resistance contributes to the muscle weakness and muscle wasting that many CKD patients face, especially during the later stages of the disease. Bioenergetic failure has been associated with the loss of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in obesity and uraemia, as well as in the development of kidney disease and its sarcopenic complications. In this mini review, we evaluate how mitochondrial activity of different renal cell types changes during DKD progression, and discuss the controversial role of oxidative stress and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species in DKD. We also compare the involvement of skeletal muscle mitochondria in uraemic and obesity-related muscle insulin resistance.

Abstract
The nutritional regulation of protein and amino acid balance in human skeletal muscle carried out by the authors with Mike Rennie is reviewed in the context of a simple physiological model for the regulation of the maintenance and growth of skeletal muscle, the "Bag Theory". Beginning in London in the late 1970s the work has involved the use of stable isotopes to probe muscle protein synthesis and breakdown with two basic experimental models, primed-dose continuous tracer infusions combined with muscle biopsies and arterio-venous (A-V) studies across a limb, most often the leg, allowing both protein synthesis and breakdown as well as net balance to be measured. In this way, over a 30 year period, the way in which amino acids and insulin mediate the anabolic effect of a meal has been elaborated in great detail confirming the original concepts of bag filling within the muscle endomysial "bag", which is limited by the "bag" size unless bag enlargement occurs requiring new collagen synthesis. Finally we briefly review some new developments involving 2 H2 O labelling of muscle proteins.

Abstract
Short-term muscle disuse is characterized by skeletal muscle insulin resistance, although this response is divergent across subjects. The mechanisms regulating inactivity-induced insulin resistance between populations that are more or less susceptible to disuse-induced insulin resistance are not known. RNA sequencing was conducted on vastus lateralis muscle biopsies from subjects before and after bed rest (n = 26) to describe the transcriptome of inactivity-induced insulin resistance. Subjects were separated into Low (n = 14) or High (n = 12) Susceptibility Groups based on the magnitude of change in insulin sensitivity after 5 days of bed rest. Both groups became insulin-resistant after bed rest, and there were no differences between groups in nonmetabolic characteristics (body mass, body mass index, fat mass, and lean mass). The High Susceptibility Group had more genes altered >1.5-fold (426 high versus 391 low) and more than twofold (73 high versus 55 low). Twenty-four genes were altered more than twofold in the High Susceptibility Group that did not change in the Low Susceptibility Group. 95 gene changes correlated with the changes in insulin sensitivity; 6 of these genes changed more than twofold in the High Susceptibility Group. Participants in the High Susceptibility Group were uniquely characterized with muscle gene responses described by a decrease in pathways responsible for lipid uptake and oxidation, decreased capacity for triglyceride export (APOB), increased lipogenesis (i.e., PFKFB3, FASN), and increased amino acid export (SLC43A1). These transcriptomic data provide a comprehensive examination of pathways and genes that may be useful biomarkers, or novel targets to offset muscle disuse-induced insulin resistance. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Short-term muscle disuse results in skeletal muscle insulin resistance through mechanisms that are not fully understood. Following a 5-day bed rest intervention, subjects were divided into High and Low Susceptibility Groups to inactivity-induced insulin resistance. This was followed by a genome-wide transcriptional analysis on muscle biopsy samples to gain insight on divergent insulin sensitivity responses. Our primary finding was that the skeletal muscle of subjects who experienced the most inactivity-induced insulin resistance (high susceptibility) was characterized by a decreased preference for lipid oxidation, increased lipogenesis, and increased amino acid export.
