Research progress on the relationship between hypoglycemic drugs and sarcopenia / 中国临床药理学与治疗学

ABSTRACT

Sarcopenia is a disease characterized by a decrease in muscle mass and function that can induce adverse events such as falls, weakness, and death. The latest research shows that the use of many hypoglycemic drugs is associated with sarcopenia. Different types of hypoglycemic drugs may have different effects and mechanisms for the quality and function of skeletal muscle. In this paper, we review the research progress of the relationship between hypoglycemic drugs and sarcopenia and the molecular mechanism in recent years to provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment prevention of sarcopenia in clinical areas.
