Scientists identify link between gut bacteria, muscle growth and function
Gut bacteria may play a role in muscle growth and formation, says a recent study. This is great news for those with skeletal muscle loss, especially since the findings say that changing the microbial composition may help with the condition. An international team of researchers conducted a series of experiments on mice to examine the link between the […]

Lifting weights can improve survival of lung cancer patients
Weightlifting is not just for making the body look more muscular. By increasing a person’s muscle mass, strength training prevents the onset of sarcopenia and makes it easier to treat lung cancer. Sarcopenia is a medical condition characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass. Also called muscle wasting, it is a natural part of the aging process. […]

Dietary energy intake and nutrition are important for the prevention of skeletal muscle loss in cancer survivors
Sarcopenia is a progressive disease characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function. It is commonly associated with aging but can also be seen in cancer survivors. There are no pharmacological treatments available for sarcopenia at present; only basic interventions such as resistance exercise, protein supplementation, and vitamin D administration are used […]

You probably aren’t getting enough protein
Do you get enough protein in your diet? According to a new study in the Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging, older Americans simply aren’t consuming enough of this important macronutrient, putting them at risk of poor health. The study, which involved the data of more than 11,000 adults aged 51 and older, explored how […]

Looking at how dietary energy intake helps prevent sarcopenia among cancer survivors
In this study, researchers from Inje University Haeundae Paik Hospital in South Korea compared the nutritional intake and body composition of cancer survivors with those of healthy individuals using data from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted from 2008 to 2011. The results of their study, which mainly considered the incidence of sarcopenia in […]

Exercising regularly and consuming more protein can help prevent muscle loss due to aging, reveals study
A review led by researchers from Drexel University in Philadelphia looked at how dietary protein intake and regular exercise can reduce the risk of muscle loss in older adults. In their article, which was published in Nutrition Research, they compared current recommendations for dietary protein intake and exercise and proffered their suggestions to improve these, based on a […]

Increased protein intake and regular exercise significantly lowers risk of sarcopenia
Researchers from Drexel University in Philadelphia have investigated the effects of dietary protein intake and exercise in reducing the risk of sarcopenia. Their findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research. In the review, researchers associated aging with sarcopenia, a progressive decline in mass and strength of the skeletal muscle. This can lead to morbidity, reduced quality […]

Study reveals how vitamin E protects skeletal muscles
Aging is a complex biological process, and it’s one that can even lead to several muscular disorders. Recently, scientists from the U.S. and Taiwan focused on how age changes the health of our skeletal muscles and how vitamin E may be used to mitigate those changes. Our skeletal muscles are the most common of the three types […]

Understanding the role of vitamin E in age-related disorders of skeletal muscles
An international study looked at the role that vitamin E plays in skeletal muscle disorders, including sarcopenia. The findings were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Sarcopenia, or the loss of muscle strength and mass, comes from impaired neuromuscular innervation, transitioning of skeletal muscle fiber type and reduced muscle regenerative capacity. In this study, scientists from Taiwan and […]

Can drinking coffee prevent age-related muscle loss?
Muscles tend to degenerate with age, which leads to a debilitating condition known as sarcopenia. Fortunately, a study published in the journal Nutrition Research found that light coffee drinking can help protect against sarcopenia, particularly in men. In women, they found that heavy consumption of coffee can increase the risk of obesity. Carried out by researchers […]
