Newest firstThe endocannabinoid (EC) system is a complex network comprising endogenous ligands, enzymes responsible for their synthesis and degradation, and various receptors (including CB1 and CB2). Present in many peripheral tissues, including skeletal muscle, EC system is now recognized to influence key physiological processes such as insulin sensitivity, mitochondrial metabolism, protein homeostasis and muscle development…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Sarcopenia is a prevalent age-related disorder characterized by progressive muscle atrophy. Impaired balance is one of its most critical clinical consequences, often leading to falling and even bone fractures. As the cerebellum plays a central role in regulating motor coordination, elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying imbalance in sarcopenia, particularly those mediated by the muscle-cerebell…
Background The prevalence of sarcopenia progressively increases with as liver function deteriorates. Muscle wasting has been shown to independently predict adverse outcomes in liver cirrhosis patients. Aim To screen effective biomarkers for sarcopenia in liver cirrhosis. Methods Untargeted metabolomics were performed on serum from 62 liver cirrhosis patients, including 41 with sarcopenia and 21 without sarcopenia.…
Open article record in new tab ↗Sarcopenia, a decline in muscle mass and strength, can be triggered by aging or medications like glucocorticoids. This study investigated cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) water extract (CC) as a potential protective agent against DEX-induced muscle wasting in vitro and in vivo. CC and its isolated compounds mitigated oxidative stress, promoted myofiber growth, and boosted ATP production in C2C12 myotubes. Mechanistic…
Background Activation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is associated with the development of obesity and insulin resistance, and with perturbed skeletal muscle development. Age-related sarcopenia is a progressive and generalized skeletal muscle disorder involving an accelerated loss of muscle mass and function, with changes in skeletal muscle protein homeostasis due to lipid accumulation and anabolic resistance…
