ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: The identification of children and adolescents who are at risk of sarcopenic obesity development often requires specialized equipment and expensive test procedures. Therefore, the establishment of cheaper and faster methods would be greatly useful, especially if they could be applied in the field. The study's objective was to establish if identification of female adolescents who suffer the risk of developing sarcopenic obesity can be obtained through the standing-long-jump test application. To achieve the research objectives, various anthropometric and body composition measurements were performed and lower limb explosive strength was assessed using the standing long jump fitness test. The research was conducted on a sample of 535 female respondents randomly selected from 9 elementary schools in the Skopje region of the Republic of North Macedonia. The respondents were divided into quintiles according to BMI z-scores, and the arithmetic means and SD about muscle-to-fat ratio were calculated for each quintile. The cutoff was determined based on the mean and standard deviation of the muscle-to-fat ratio for the 3rd quintile of BMI and the percentage of respondents with sarcopenic obesity was examined. The optimal cut-off value of the long jump fitness test results for predicting sarcopenic obesity in an adolescent girl showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.781 (95 % CI 0.743-0.815). The standing-long-jump test values, on grounds of odds ratio (OR 95 % CI) about the girls at risk of sarcopenic obesity development, which was identified on muscle-to-fat ratio base, were 8.76 (4.39 - 17.54, p 0.001). It can be used to predict sarcopenic obesity presence in female adolescents, which can be vital in case of health intervention.


La identificación de niños y adolescentes que corren riesgo de desarrollar obesidad sarcopénica a menudo requiere equipos especializados y procedimientos de pruebas costosos. Por lo tanto, el establecimiento de métodos más baratos y rápidos sería de gran utilidad, especialmente si pudieran aplicarse en el campo. El objetivo del estudio fue establecer si la identificación de mujeres adolescentes que sufren riesgo de desarrollar obesidad sarcopénica se puede obtener mediante la aplicación de la prueba de salto de longitud de pie. Para lograr los objetivos de la investigación, se realizaron diversas mediciones antropométricas y de composición corporal y se evaluó la fuerza explosiva de los miembros inferiores mediante la prueba de aptitud de salto de longitud de pie. La investigación se realizó con una muestra de 535 mujeres encuestadas seleccionadas al azar de 9 escuelas primarias de la región de Skopje, en la República de Macedonia del Norte. Los encuestados se dividieron en quintiles según las puntuaciones z del IMC, y se calcularon las medias aritméticas y la DE sobre la relación músculo-grasa para cada quintil. El límite se determinó en función de la media y la desviación estándar de la relación músculo-grasa para el tercer quintil del IMC y se examinó el porcentaje de encuestados con obesidad sarcopénica. El valor de corte óptimo de los resultados de la prueba de condición física de salto de longitud para predecir la obesidad sarcopénica en una adolescente mostró que el área bajo la curva ROC fue 0,781 (IC del 95 %: 0,743-0,815). Los valores de la prueba de salto de longitud de pie, sobre la base del odds ratio (OR IC del 95 %) sobre las niñas en riesgo de desarrollar obesidad sarcopénica, que se identificó sobre la base del ratio músculo-grasa, fueron 8,76 (4,39 - 17,54, p. 0,001). Puede utilizarse para predecir la presencia de obesidad sarcopénica en adolescentes, lo que puede ser vital en caso de intervención sanitaria.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Objetiva-se avaliar a relação entre consumo de proteínas (CP), atividade física (AF) e massa muscular (MM) em indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais de idade. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo a partir da linha de base e segunda onda do estudo ELSA-Brasil. O CP foi avaliado por meio de um questionário de frequência alimentar semiquantitativo (QFA). A AF foi mensurada pelo International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). A MM foi estimada por meio de equação de predição, e calculada a diferença de MM entre a 2a e a 1a onda. Análises bivariadas foram realizadas adotando o valor de p < 0,05. Para as análises multivariadas, utilizou-se a regressão de Poisson, com quatro modelos distintos, que incluíram as covariáveis com valor de p < 0,20. Utilizou-se o pacote estatístico SPSS versão 21. Resultados: A amostra foi constituída de 2216 idosos, sendo 55,10% de mulheres, com média de idade de 65,20 ± 4,15. Indivíduos com redução de MM entre as duas ondas estão situados no primeiro quartil de consumo de proteína. Além disso, a média de AF mostrou diferença significativa entre os grupos e a AF no lazer apenas para as mulheres (p < 0,05). Após ajuste por variáveis sociodemográficas, de saúde e hábitos de vida, indivíduos com menor consumo de proteínas apresentaram risco de 1,45 (1,29 ­ 1,63) de apresentar MM diminuída. Conclusões: O menor CP e AF forte estão associados à MM diminuída, e aqueles com menor CP no primeiro e segundo quartis apresentam maior risco de possuir MM diminuída. (AU)


Objective: The objective was to evaluate the relationship between protein consumption, physical activity, and muscle mass in individuals aged ≥ 60 years. Methods: This prospective study was based on the baseline and second wave of the ELSA Brazil study. Protein consumption was assessed using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Physical activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Muscle mass was estimated using a prediction equation, and the difference in MM between the first and second waves was calculated. Bivariate analyses were performed, with p < 0.05 considered significant. Multivariate analysis consisted of 4 Poisson regression models including covariates with p < 0.20. The statistical analysis was performed in IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Results: The sample included 2216 older adults, 55.10% of whom were women, with a mean age of 65.20 (SD, 4.15). Participants whose muscle mass decreased between the waves were in the first quartile of protein consumption. Mean physical activity significantly differed between the groups, while leisure-time physical activity differed only for women (p < 0.05). After adjusting for sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle variables, participants with lower protein intake had a 1.45 (1.29­1.63) relative risk of muscle mass loss. Conclusions: Lower protein consumption and higher physical activity were associated with decreased muscle mass, and those with protein consumption in the first and second quartiles are at higher risk of muscle mass loss.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To analyze the muscle mass and cross-sectional area of the muscular fiber of the hemiparetic soleus in an animal model, in order to identify the muscular adaptations that occur in ischemic stroke.Method: Twelve Rattus norvegicus were divided into 2 groups: stroke group (n=6) and control group (n=6). Each group was subdivided into two subgroups, with evaluations at 7 days (CG7 and SG7) and 21 days (CG21 and SG21) after the accident. Their soleus muscles were removed for muscle mass analysis and cross-sectional area of the muscular fibers (CSAMF) measurement. The adopted statistical significance was 5%.Result: Significant differences in the muscle mass were observed between CG7 (0.120 ± 0.005 g) vs. SG7 (0.100 ± 0.004 g; p=0.035), and between CG21 (0.130 ± 0.010 g) vs. SG21 (0.078 ± 0.006; p=0.012). Significant differences in the relative muscle mass were observed between CG7 (0.044 ± 0.002 g) vs SG7 (0.039 ± 0.003; p=0.025), and CG21 (0.044 ± 0.003) vs. SG21 (0.028 ± 0.002; p=0.011). The CSAMF showed significant differences between CG7 (2,322 µm2 [2312-2453]) vs. SG7 (2,056 µm2 [2,022-2,135]; p=0.012), and CG21 (2,667 µm2 [2,692-2,845]) vs. SG21 (2,050 µm2 [2,034-2,161]; p=0.006).Conclusion: In this study in animal models of ischemic stroke, there was a significant loss of muscle mass, and this loss was accentuated in the longer term of the injury, highlighting the importance of future research on types of muscle fibers and applicability in human patients

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Malnutrition/sarcopenia is frequent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and results in muscle catabolism, impacting treatment response, postoperative complications, and quality of life. Objective: This study aims to assess whether the phase angle (PhA) is a parameter for predicting reduced muscle mass in patients with IBD. Methods: Adult patients with IBD were included in this cross-sectional study. For the estimation of muscle mass and the calculation of the PhA, we used bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) activity scores were defined using the Harvey-Bradshaw index and partial Mayo score, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was calculated to identify the PhA cut-off point for reduced muscle mass. Results: The sample consisted of 145 patients, with 39 (26.9%) with IBD in the active phase. There was a correlation of the PhA with skeletal muscle mass (SMM) (rs 0.35, P<0.001) and with the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (rs 0.427, P<0.001), and the associations remained in the most active form (moderate or severe) of IBD. The ROC curve analysis indicated that the cut-offs points of the PhA ≤5.042 for female and PhA ≤6.079 for male can be used to predict muscle mass reduction. Conclusion: The PhA can be considered a predictor of muscle mass reduction in IBD patients, and we can use it for screening and monitoring the evolution of malnutrition.


RESUMO A desnutrição/sarcopenia é frequente em pacientes com doenças inflamatórias intestinais (DII), resultando em catabolismo muscular, com impacto nas respostas aos tratamentos, complicações cirúrgicas e na qualidade de vida. Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo, avaliar se o ângulo de fase (AF) é um parâmetro para a predição de redução de massa muscular em pacientes com DII. Métodos: Pacientes adultos com DII foram incluídos neste estudo transversal. A estimativa da massa muscular e o cálculo do AF foram realizados a partir do exame de bioimpedância elétrica (BIA). As atividades da doença de Crohn e retocolite ulcerativa foram definidas pelo índice Harvey-Bradshaw e escore parcial de Mayo, respectivamente. A área de curva ROC foi calculada para identificar o ponto de corte do AF para a massa muscular reduzida. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 145 pacientes, sendo 39 (26.9%) com DII em fase ativa. Houve correlação do AF com massa muscular esquelética (MME) (rs 0.35, P<0.001) e com o índice de massa muscular esquelética (IMME) (rs 0.427, P<0.001), mantendo-se as associações na forma mais ativa (moderada ou grave) da DII. A análise da curva ROC indicou que os pontos de corte de AF ≤5.042 para mulheres e ≤6.079 para homens podem ser usados para prever a redução da massa muscular. Conclusão: O AF pode ser considerado um preditor de redução de massa muscular nos pacientes com DII e ser utilizado para triagem e acompanhamento da evolução da desnutrição.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between skeletal muscle content and the presence and severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease in patients with metabolic dysregulation in China. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients from the endocrinology outpatient department at Ningbo First Hospital, in Ningbo, China, in April 2021. Adult patients with metabolic dysregulation who accepted FibroScan ultrasound were included in the study. However, those without clinical data on skeletal muscle mass were excluded. FibroScan ultrasound was used to noninvasively evaluate metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease. The controlled attenuation parameter was used as an evaluation index for the severity of liver steatosis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to measure the skeletal muscle index. RESULTS: A total of 153 eligible patients with complete data were included in the final analysis. As the grading of liver steatosis intensifies, skeletal muscle index decreases (men: Ptrend<0.001, women: Ptrend=0.001), while body mass index, blood pressure, blood lipid, uric acid, aminotransferase, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance increase (Ptrend<0.01). After adjusting for confounding factors, a negative association between skeletal muscle index and the presence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease was observed in men (OR=0.691, p=0.027) and women (OR=0.614, p=0.022). According to the receiver operating characteristic curve, the best cutoff values of skeletal muscle index for predicting the metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease presence were 40.37% for men (sensitivity, 87.5%; specificity, 61.5%) and 33.95% for women (sensitivity, 78.6%; specificity, 63.8%). CONCLUSION: Skeletal muscle mass loss among patients with metabolic dysregulation was positively associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease severity in both sexes. The skeletal muscle index cutoff value could be used to predict metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To analyze the amount of muscle and the presence of sarcopenia in postmenopausal women using different methods, verifying the agreement between them as to skeletal muscle mass (SMM). Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted with postmenopausal women aged ≥ 50 years. SMM was obtained from a predictive equation, Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA), and Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and the appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI) were calculated. The cut-off point of SMI was determined for the population itself. The agreement between the SMI obtained using the different methods was verified. Sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the criteria proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 (EWGSOP2). The significance level adopted for all tests was 5.0%. Results: A total of 112 women were evaluated, with an average age of 66.1 ± 5.65 years. Among them, 51.8% were sufficiently active and 43.8% were overweight and obese. The SMI cut-offs were 6.46 kg/m2 for the predictive equation and 7.66 kg/m2 for BIA, with high sensitivity and specificity. There was an excellent agreement in the identification of SMM by the predictive equation (0.89 [0.824-0.917], p < 0.001) and BIA (0.92 [0.883-0.945], p < 0.001), in reference to DXA. The prevalence of sarcopenia was 0.9%, 1.8%, and 2.7% according to BIA, DXA, and the predictive equation, respectively. Conclusion: The predictive equation showed the expected agreement in estimating skeletal muscle mass in postmenopausal women, offering a viable and accurate alternative.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To explore the correlation between grip strength promotion and improvement of body composition and metabolic disorders in health examination population of different genders.Methods:In this retrospective cohort study, clinical data of 600 people who received health examination and grip strength check-up two times or more in the Medical Examination Center of Peking University Third Hospital from January 2018 to November 2022 were selected. The general data, physical examination, biochemical parameters, body composition and grip strength results were collected. After the first physical examination, the grip strength test was conducted, appropriate resistance strength exercises were given based on individual evaluation results. A health lecture was held, and the information related to health exercise was pushed through WeChat official account every week. The grip strength test was completed at the same time at the second physical examination, and the difference between the two test results was calculated before and after the second physical examination. The generalized estimation equation was used to analyze the correlation between the improvement of grip strength and the improvement of body composition and metabolic disorders in different gender health-check population.Results:In man and women, the body mass index [(25.50±3.66) vs (25.33±3.74) kg/m 2, (22.41±3.55) vs (22.25±3.46) kg/m 2] and grip strength [(42.71±7.30) vs (41.77±7.36) kg, (25.28±5.30) vs (23.98±4.87) kg] at the second health check-up were all significantly higher than those at the first time, and the diastolic blood pressure [(72.79±10.30) vs (74.47±9.85) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (66.93±8.90) vs (68.92±9.42) mmHg] and serum homocysteine [(17.96±14.09) vs (19.27±14.26) μmol/L, (9.47±3.91) vs (10.26±3.90) μmol/L] were all significantly lower than those at the first time (all P<0.05). Among man, the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) at the second physical examination was significantly lower than that at the first time [(2.94±0.78) vs (3.00±0.69) mmol/L] (all P<0.05). Among women, the systolic blood pressure and uric acid at the second health check-up were both significantly lower than those at the first time [(109.34±12.85) vs (110.54±12.32) mmHg, (276.91±62.46) vs (287.16±68.78) μmol/L], and the waist-hip ratio was significant higher (85.8%±5.1% vs 85.4%±5.0%) (all P<0.05). In males, the decreased aspartate aminotransferase ( OR=0.932, 95% CI: 0.888-0.978) and the increased skeletal muscle index ( OR=75.370, 95% CI: 29.012-195.806) were both positively correlated with the elevation of grip strength (all P<0.05); and in females, the decreased homocysteine ( OR=0.876, 95% CI: 0.782-0.982) and glycosylated hemoglobin ( OR=0.423, 95% CI: 0.222-0.805) and increased skeletal muscle index ( OR=22.918, 95% CI: 11.114-47.256) were all positively correlated with the elevation of grip strength (all P<0.05). Conclusion:There is a positive correlation between the improvement of grip strength and the improvement trend of body composition and metabolic disorders in in health examination population of different genders.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed to elucidate the effects of long-term high-fat diet (HFD) consumption and cage restriction-induced physical inactivity (IN) during youth on skeletal muscle autophagy in rats. Three-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to two dietary groups: the normal diet (ND) and HFD groups. Each group was further subdivided into control (CON) and IN conditions, resulting in four experimental groups (n = 7-8). The HFD group was provided with a diet containing approximately 60% of total calories from crude fat for 16 weeks, from 4 to 20 weeks of age. The ND group received a standard diet for the same duration. The physical inactivity intervention during youth involved restricting the rats’ range of activity by housing them in smaller cages for eight weeks. After 12 weeks of age, the behavioral restrictions were lifted, and all groups of rats were housed in normal-sized cages for eight weeks. The ‘diet group’ and ‘condition’ factors exerted significant effects on the relative muscle weight of the gastrocnemius muscle. The HFD groups exhibited a notable decline in relative muscle weight compared to their ND counterparts. While no significant alterations were observed in LC3-II or p62 expression levels, the ‘diet group’ factor significantly influenced LC3-II/I levels in the white gastrocnemius muscle. These levels were markedly reduced in the HFD group. Our findings suggest that 16 weeks of HFD consumption leads to a reduction in autophagy flux, specifically within the white portion of the gastrocnemius muscle, but this effect is not influenced by cage restriction-induced physical inactivity during youth.

ABSTRACT

ObjectiveTo discuss the impact of Buzhong Yiqitang on lipid metabolism in skeletal muscle of exercise-induced fatigue (EIF) mice through adiponectin receptor 1 (Adipor1)/adenosine 5'-monophosphate(AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α (PGC-1α). MethodC57BL6J mice were randomly divided into the control group, model group, low, middle, and high dose groups of Buzhong Yiqitang, and vitamin C group. No intervention was given to the control group, while the other groups were subjected to exhaustive swimming training to establish the EIF model. One hour before exhaustion, 0.2 mL distilled water was given to the control group and the model group, while the mice in the low, middle, and high dose groups of Buzhong Yiqitang were given intragastrically Buzhong Yiqitang of 4.1, 8.2, and 16.4 g·kg-1, respectively, and the vitamin C group was given vitamin C of 0.04 g·kg-1 via gavage for a duration of six weeks. After six weeks of the experiment, the growth rate of body weight, organ index, and exhaustive swimming time were calculated. Enzyme colorimetry was utilized to detect the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatine kinase acid (CK), lactate dehydrogenase acid (LDH), and lactic acid (LD). The pathological changes of skeletal muscle were observed using hematoxylin -eosin (HE) staining, while the ultrastructure of skeletal muscle was observed with transmission electron microscope (TEM). The contents of free fatty acids (NEFA) and triglyceride acid (TG) in serum were also examined by microplate method. The protein expressions of Adipor1, p-AMPK/AMPK, PGC-1α, and HK2 in the skeletal muscle were measured by Western blot. ResultCompared with those of the control group, the growth rate of body weight and thymus index of the model group were decreased, and the serum levels of BUN, CK, LD, and LDH were increased (P<0.01). The contents of NEFA and TG were decreased (P<0.01), and the protein expression of Adipor1, p-AMPK/AMPK, PGC-1 α, and HK2 in the skeletal muscle decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, the growth rate of body weight, thymus index, and exhaustive swimming time were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the levels of BUN, CK, LD, and LDH dropped in the high dose group of Buzhong Yiqitang (P<0.01). The levels of NEFA and TG were greatly improved (P<0.01). The protein expressions of Adipor1, p-AMPK/AMPK, PGC-1α, and HK2 in the skeletal muscle were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, the thymus index and exhaustive swimming time were significantly increased in the vitamin C group, and the levels of BUN, CK, and LD dropped (P<0.05, P<0.01). The levels of NEFA and TG were improved significantly (P<0.01), and the protein expression of Adipor1 in skeletal muscle was increased greatly (P<0.01). ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang can delay the development of EIF, which may be connected with the regulation of the Adipor1/AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway and the improvement of the utilization rate of skeletal muscle to fat.

BACKGROUND:Sarcopenia is a progressive,generalized skeletal muscle disease that is closely related to the occurrence of osteoarthritis,fractures,limb disability and death in the elderly.Establishing animal models of sarcopenia is essential to understand the pathophysiology of sarcopenia and to identify effective treatment strategies. OBJECTIVE:To review the evaluation criteria of mouse models of sarcopenia and the modeling methods of mouse models of sarcopenia,and to analyze and compare the advantages and disadvantages of various modeling methods,in order to provide reference for the research and diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia. METHODS:"Sarcopenia,skeletal muscle aging,mouse model,animal model"in Chinese and English were used as Chinese and English search terms,respectively.The search formula was"(sarcopenia OR skeletal muscle aging)AND(mouse model OR animal model)."CNKI,WanFang and PubMed were searched for related articles published from January 2010 and October 2022.A total of 59 articles were finally included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There is a faster modeling time in SAMP8 mice and the type of muscle atrophy is consistent with that of patients with sarcopenia.Therefore,it is an ideal model.Although the surgical method can successfully induce muscle atrophy,it requires precise surgical operation,which is difficult and time-consuming.Hindlimb suspension modeling in mice is similar to that of the elderly and can be regarded as an effective model of senile sarcopenia.Although reagent injection molding is simple to perform,both the dose and number of days of administration of reagents are not clear and need to be further investigated.Transgenic mouse models are less commonly used and their model stability needs further study.The search for a mouse model with low cost,short time consumption and high simulation of human sarcopenia is still a future research direction.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Exercise as a viable non-pharmacological treatment has the potential to reverse skeletal muscle aging that deteriorates with age.The role of autophagy in the skeletal muscle aging process is indispensable.During skeletal muscle aging,Atg genes involved in regulating autophagy regulate the autophagic process in either a facilitative or inhibitory manner to improve the physiological morphology of skeletal muscle.However the specific molecular mechanisms of autophagy in the exercise regulation of skeletal muscle aging remain puzzling. OBJECTIVE:To search for general patterns of the effects of autophagic mechanisms on skeletal muscle aging during exercise through a review of articles in this field. METHODS:(1)CNKI and Web of Science were searched,reviewed,and screened for relevant literature using the keywords of"Atg genes(proteins),autophagy,exercise,and skeletal muscle aging"to lay the theoretical foundation for the full-text analysis.(2)The comparative analysis method was used to compare the similarities and differences among the included documents to provide reasonable theoretical support for the arguments.By the further comparative analysis of the literature,the relationship between relevant indicators was clarified,to provide the ideas for the full-text analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Atg family-mediated autophagy is indispensable for delaying skeletal muscle aging.Atg genes involved in regulating autophagy regulate the autophagic process in either a facilitative or inhibitory manner to improve the physiological morphology and function of skeletal muscle.Different exercise patterns,such as age,time,or intensity at initiation,may have heterogeneous effects on the expression of autophagy-related proteins,but long-term aerobic exercise regulates Atg-related proteins,induces skeletal muscle autophagy,and delays the loss of muscle mass.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Extracellular vesicles can regulate insulin resistance and control inflammatory response by participating in intercellular communication,while repairing skeletal muscles and promoting skeletal muscle regeneration,which is expected to be a novel treatment modality for sarcopenic obesity. OBJECTIVE:To review the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles,their biological functions,their relationship with sarcopenic obesity,and recent advances in the pathogenesis,diagnosis,and treatment of sarcopenic obesity. METHODS:The first author performed a computer search of PubMed,Embase,CNKI and other databases for relevant studies involving extracellular vesicle in sarcopenic obesity.The search keywords were"extracellular vesicle,exosome,sarcopenic obesity,obese sarcopenia,skeletal muscle regeneration,skeletal muscle mass regulation"in English and Chinese,respectively.The search period was from June 2022 to November 2022.After screening,87 articles were included for further review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Extracellular vesicles are important vectors of bidirectional cell communication and participate in the regulation of normal physiological and pathological processes through autocrine,paracrine and endocrine ways.Sarcopenic obesity is a complex multi-factor disease.Extracellular vesicles are involved in the occurrence and development of sarcopenic obesity mainly by regulating the inflammatory response of skeletal muscle and the homeostasis of muscle cells.Cytokines secreted by adipose tissue and skeletal muscle are released into the extracellular circulation through extracellular vesicle encapsulation and interact with each other to promote skeletal muscle insulin resistance and lipogenesis,which is the main pathophysiology of skeletal muscle atrophy in sarcopenic obesity.Extracellular vesicles not only promote the development of sarcopenic obesity by providing specific pathogenic markers,but also are a valuable diagnostic indicator of sarcopenic obesity.Release of extracellular vesicles from skeletal muscle during exercise enhances metabolic response and promotes skeletal muscle regeneration.Extracellular vesicles can not only be used as therapeutic targets for sarcopenic obesity but also be used to treat sarcopenic obesity by loading drugs to effectively improve drug bioavailability.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:A high-load exercise can trigger the degradation of titin,leading to skeletal muscle damage.MyoD participates in skeletal muscle generation and plays an important role in the repair of skeletal muscle damage. OBJECTIVE:To observe the expression changes of MyoD,BMAL1 and titin in skeletal muscles at different times during a high-load exercise,as to clarify the role of MyoD and BMAL1 in exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage. METHODS:Twenty-four 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a control group(n=4)and an exercise group(n=20).Rats in the exercise group were subjected to downhill running(90 minutes).Soleus muscle samples were collected at 0,12,24,48,and 72 hours after exercise.The mRNA expressions of BMAL1 and MyoD were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The ultrastructure of skeletal muscle fibers was observed by transmission electron microscope.Immunofluorescence was used to observe the co-localization of MyoD and BMAL1 as well as BMAL1 and titin. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the single high-load centrifugal exercise,the sarcomere of the soleus muscle was widened and the Z-line was blurred and water wave-like,both of which were most serious at 12 hours after exercise and basically recovered at 72 hours.The results of real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR showed that BMAL1 mRNA expression in the exercise group increased first and then tended to normal,while the mRNA expression of MyoD decreased first and then increased.Immunofluorescence co-localization observation indicated that the co-localization of BMAL1 and MyoD was obviously observed at 12 and 24 hours after exercise,and the co-localization of BMAL1 and titin was observed at 0,12,and 24 hours.All the findings indicate that MyoD and BMAL1 are jointly involved in the repair of exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage probably via titin.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:The mechanism,manifestation,prevention and treatment of ischemia-reperfusion injury have been reported in the past.However,there are few studies on the ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb skeletal muscle caused by total knee arthroplasty.This article focuses on the pathogenesis,clinical impact,prevention and treatment of the ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb caused by total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the related literature of lower limb ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by total knee arthroplasty,analyze the mechanism and significance,and give hints for further research on skeletal muscle ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:The relevant articles on PubMed,CNKI,WanFang and VIP databases published from January 1,2000 to April 30,2022 were searched by computer with the Chinese and English search terms of"ischemia-reperfusion injury,total knee arthroplasty,tourniquet,mechanism,pathophysiology,skeletal muscle,treatment".After excluding repetitive research and some basic articles with low correlation,68 articles were finally selected for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury is related to oxygen free radicals,intracellular calcium overload,neutrophil activation,as well as high concentration of nitric oxide,no reflow phenomenon,apoptosis and other mechanisms.More detailed mechanism research can provide basis for future prevention and treatment.(2)Ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limbs will cause local skeletal muscle injury,which may be caused by the trauma of the operation itself or the role of ischemia-reperfusion injury.More targeted research is needed to distinguish the relationship between the two.(3)Ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limbs may even affect the distal organs,causing kidney and lung damage.It also affects local and systemic circulation.(4)To clarify the effect of ischemia-reperfusion injury can point out the direction for future prevention and treatment.The current prevention and treatment measures mainly include ischemic preconditioning,anesthetic,antioxidant and other drug prevention.(5)The detailed review of ischemia-reperfusion injury of lower limb skeletal muscle caused by total knee arthroplasty can provide basis for future diagnosis and treatment decisions.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Satellite cells are a specific population of adult stem cells contained in skeletal muscle that promote the regenerative reconstruction of injured skeletal muscle,but their specific mechanisms are not well established. OBJECTIVE:To review the regulatory role of satellite cells during skeletal muscle regeneration and the mechanism of interaction between satellite cells and their ecological niche signals,aiming to provide new research ideas and perspectives based on the summary of existing knowledge. METHODS:Web of Science,PubMed,CNKI,WanFang,and VIP databases were searched for literature published between January 2002 and June 2022.English search terms were"muscle,skeletal muscle,muscle injury,stem cells,satellite cells,muscle repair".Chinese search terms were"skeletal muscle,skeletal muscle regeneration,skeletal muscle reconstruction,satellite cells,ecological niche".The 66 included papers were organized and analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Satellite cells exist in skeletal muscle and contribute to both the formation of new muscle fibers after injury and the effective growth of existing adult muscle fibers.(2)After the activation of quiescent satellite cells in satellite cells,the steps of satellite cell proliferation,differentiation and fusion to form muscle fibers during skeletal muscle regeneration are influenced by their intrinsic regulatory effects of different mechanisms.(3)Satellite cells can interact with myofibers,extracellular matrix,skeletal muscle junctions,fibroblast progenitor cells,immune cells and endothelial cells in the ecological niche signal to promote satellite cell activation,proliferation and differentiation to achieve effective skeletal muscle regeneration.(4)Possible breakthroughs in future research include:the division pattern of satellite cells in the body;the mechanisms regulating satellite cell transfer;the specific timing of satellite cell differentiation or self-renewal in vivo;and the interaction mechanisms between satellite cells and skeletal muscle junctions.(5)This review may provide some theoretical reference values for the field of injury reconstruction of skeletal muscle and its innovation.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Obesity and its relevant chronic inflammation are important risk factors for inducing type 2 diabetes.This inflammatory response will further involve skeletal muscle,leading to an increase in catabolic and autophagic fluxes in skeletal muscle.Aerobic exercise is the mainstream mode of exercise in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes,and may also has a certain protective effect on skeletal muscle. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects and regulatory mechanisms of aerobic exercise on glucolipid metabolism,skeletal muscle inflammation and autophagy in type 2 diabetic rats. METHODS:Animal models of type 2 diabetes were established in rats by 8-week high-fat feeding combined with streptozotocin injection,and the experimental rats were then divided into normal control group,normal exercise group,diabetic control group and diabetic exercise group.The exercise group performed 4 weeks of aerobic exercise(16 m/min,60 min/d,5 d/wk).The levels of blood glucose,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride in serum were measured by an automated biochemical analyzer.Serum insulin level was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the insulin resistance index and area under the glucose metabolism curve were calculated.The levels of interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor α in skeletal muscle were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 4 weeks of aerobic exercise,and the expression levels of forkhead box protein O3(FoxO3),LC3 and p62 in skeletal muscle were measured by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The area under the glucose tolerance curve and insulin resistance index both increased significantly in type 2 diabetic rats(P<0.001,P=0.025),and aerobic exercise significantly reduced the area under the glucose tolerance curve and insulin resistance index in the normal exercise group(P<0.001,P=0.038)and diabetic exercise group(P<0.001,P=0.004).Serum high-density lipoprotein significantly decreased(P=0.030),and low-density lipoprotein and triglyceride(P=0.027,P=0.014)levels significantly increased in the diabetic control group compared with the normal control group.Aerobic exercise significantly reduced triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels in the normal exercise group(P=0.019,P=0.008)as well as triglyceride levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.022).Both interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor α levels were significantly increased in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats compared with the normal control group(P<0.001,P=0.007),and aerobic exercise significantly reduced tumor necrosis factor α levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.017).The LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I was significantly increased in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic rats compared with the normal control group.Aerobic exercise significantly increased the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I in the normal exercise group(P<0.001)and decreased the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I,FoxO3 and p62 protein expression levels in the diabetic exercise group(P=0.026,P=0.050,P=0.048).To conclusion,type 2 diabetes model established by high-fat feeding combined with streptozotocin injection has obvious glycolipid metabolism disorder,and leads to inflammatory response and excessive activation of autophagy in skeletal muscle.Aerobic exercise can improve glycolipid metabolism,reduce local inflammation in skeletal muscle and inhibit autophagy,and finally play a protective role in skeletal muscle.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle insulin resistance is the key pathological link of type 2 diabetes.Static exercise can effectively improve skeletal muscle insulin resistance,but the mechanism remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of static exercise on insulin resistance in the skeletal muscle of type 2 diabetic mice based on the phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/glucose transporter(GLUT4)signaling pathway. METHODS:After 1 week of adaptive feeding,7 out of 40 C57BL/6 mice were randomly selected as blank group and fed common diet,while the other mice were fed high-fat diet and taken to prepare type 2 diabetes models through the low-dose streptozotocin intraperitoneal injection.Twenty-four mice were successfully modeled and they were randomly divided into model group(n=8),metformin group(n=8)and static exercise group(n=8),which continued to be fed high-fat diet.The metformin group was given 200 mg/kg metformin dissolved in normal saline(2 ml/kg)by gavage,once a day,for 6 weeks.The static exercise group was given normal saline daily by gavage and carried out static exercise,30 minutes a day,6 days per week.The model group was given the same dose of normal saline daily by gavage without exercise intervention.After the intervention,the fasting blood glucose of each group was detected,the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test was performed,and the area under the glycemic curve was calculated.Glycosylated hemoglobin,serum insulin,insulin resistance index were detected by ELISA.Total cholesterol,triglyceride,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein were detected using biochemical methods.The mRNA expression levels of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 in the gastrocnemius of mice were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Morphological changes of the gastrocnemius were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the blank group,fasting blood glucose,glycosylated hemoglobin,area under the glycemic curve,insulin resistance index,total cholesterol,triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein levels were significantly increased in the model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Whereas,these indicators were significantly lower in the static exercise and metformin group than the model group(P<0.01,P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,serum insulin and high-density lipoprotein levels were significantly declined in the model group(P<0.01)and the mRNA expression of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 in the gastrocnemius of mice were also significantly reduced(P<0.01).These indicators were significantly elevated in the metformin group and static exercise group compared with the blank group(P<0.01).Compared with the blank group,the muscle fibers in the model group were disordered,and the muscle cells atrophied and the muscle fiber gap widened.The cross-sectional area of muscle fibers was significantly decreased in the model group compared with the blank group(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,atrophy of the gastrocnemius fibers and muscle fiber space were improved in the static exercise group and the metformin group,and the cross-sectional area of muscle fiber was significantly increased in both groups(P<0.01).These findings indicate that static resistance training may promote glucose uptake and utilization by up-regulating the expression of PI3K,AKT and GLUT4 mRNA in skeletal muscle tissue,thereby improving the morphology and function of skeletal muscle tissue,alleviating insulin resistance and regulating glucose homeostasis.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Unaccustomed exercise triggers skeletal muscle damage,but produces a specific training effect that reduces muscle re-injury to reduce pain-muscle memory. OBJECTIVE:Based on the etiology of delayed onset muscle soreness,to review the existence and possible mechanism of skeletal muscle memory in delayed onset muscle soreness and to present new insights into the prevention and treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness. METHODS:The first author searched in PubMed,Embase,Web of Science,CNKI and WanFang databases for relevant literature published from January 1990 to December 2022.The keywords were"DOMS,skeletal muscle memory,exercise skeletal muscle adaptation,repeat turn effect,exercise and autophagy,autophagy and inflammation"in English and Chinese,respectively.A total of 102 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The etiology of delayed onset muscle soreness is currently believed to be an acute inflammatory response due to metabolic disorders,mechanical injury and oxidative stress,while exercise-induced skeletal muscle memory can reduce delayed onset muscle soreness and exercise re-injury.When the duration,frequency and intensity of centrifugal training are gradually increased,symptoms of the injury can be minimized or even avoided.Therefore,based on the mechanism of exercise-induced skeletal muscle memory,it is the future research direction to find more effective ways to prevent and alleviate exercise-induced muscle injury.This review aims to(1)clarify the existence of exercise-induced skeletal muscle memory;(2)explore the possible mechanisms of exercise-induced skeletal muscle memory and propose the relationship between this memory and skeletal muscle autophagy;and(3)provide new strategies for the prevention and treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness by improving the level of skeletal muscle autophagy.
