Abstract
The coming of the hyper-aged society in Taiwan prompts us to investigate the relationship between the metabolic status of sarcopenic patients and their most adverse outcome-death. We studied the association between any plasma metabolites and the risk for mortality among older Taiwanese sarcopenic patients. We applied a targeted metabolomic approach to study the plasma metabolites of adults aged ≥65 years, and identified the metabolic signature predictive of the mortality of sarcopenic patients who died within a 5.5-year follow-up period. Thirty-five sarcopenic patients who died within the follow-up period (Dead cohort) had shown a specific plasma metabolic signature, as compared with 54 patients who were alive (Alive cohort). Only 10 of 116 non-sarcopenic individuals died during the same period. After multivariable adjustment, we found that sex, hypertension, tetradecanoyl-carnitine (C14-carnitine), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-containing phosphatidylcholine diacyl (PCaa) C38:6 and C40:6 were important risk factors for the mortality of sarcopenic patients. Low PCaa C38:6 levels and high C14-carnitine levels correlated with an increased mortality risk; this was even the same for those patients with hypertension (HTN). Our findings suggest that plasma PCaa C38:6 and acylcarnitine C14-carnitine, when combined, can be a better early biomarker for evaluating the mortality risk of sarcopenia patients.

Nutrient Metabolites Associated With Low D3Cr Muscle Mass, Strength, and Physical Performance in Older Men. J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci 2024; 79:glad217.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between amino acids, B vitamins, and their metabolites with D3-creatine (D3Cr) dilution muscle mass, a more direct measure of skeletal muscle mass, has not been investigated. We aimed to assess associations of plasma metabolites with D3Cr muscle mass, as well as muscle strength and physical performance in older men from the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men cohort study. METHODS Out of 1 425 men (84.2 ± 4.1 years), men with the lowest D3Cr muscle mass (n = 100), slowest walking speed (n = 100), lowest grip strength (n = 100), and a random sample (n = 200) serving as a comparison group to the low groups were included. Metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Metabolite differences between the low groups and random sample and their relationships with the muscle outcomes adjusted for confounders and multiple comparisons were assessed using t-test/Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon and partial correlations, respectively. RESULTS For D3Cr muscle mass, significant biomarkers (p < .001) with ≥10% fold difference and largest partial correlations were tryptophan (Trp; r = 0.31), kynurenine (Kyn)/Trp; r = -0.27), nicotinamide (Nam)/quinolinic acid (Quin; r = 0.21), and alpha-hydroxy-5-methyl-tetrahydrofolate (hm-THF; r = -0.25). For walking speed, hm-THF, Nam/Quin, and Quin had the largest significance and fold difference, whereas valine (r = 0.17), Trp (r = 0.17), HKyn/Xant (r = -0.20), neopterin (r = -0.17), 5-methyl-THF (r = -0.20), methylated folate (r = -0.21), and thiamine (r = -0.18) had the strongest correlations. Only hm-THF was correlated with grip strength (r = -0.21) and differed between the low group and the random sample. CONCLUSIONS Future interventions focusing on how the Trp metabolic pathway or hm-THF influences D3Cr muscle mass and physical performance declines in older adults are warranted.

Associating Inulin with a Pea Protein Improves Fast-Twitch Skeletal Muscle Mass and Muscle Mitochondrial Activities in Old Rats. Nutrients 2023; 15:3766. [PMID: 37686798 PMCID: PMC10490296 DOI: 10.3390/nu15173766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/10/2023] Open
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.
