    Sammanfattning : Sarcopenia - from the Greek words 'sarx' (flesh) and 'penia' (loss) - was, when coined in 1989, a term denoting the decline in muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. Such definition implies everyone suffers from sarcopenia to varying degrees, which naturally makes studying sarcopenia challenging. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Skeletal muscle metabolism in critically ill patients

    Författare :Lena Gamrin-Gripenberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The loss of skeletal muscle mass is of importance for the length of the hospital stay and recovery in critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). In the acute illness, the export of amino acids from skeletal muscle provides substrates for vital functions and thus enhances survival. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Adipose and muscle tissue metabolism in cancer cachexia

    Författare :Thorhallur Agustsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Loss of adipose and muscle tissue mass is a key feature of cancer cachexia. Weight loss, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance are seen in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). LÄS MER

  5. 9. Amino acid and protein turnover in human skeletal muscle

    Författare :Rokhsareh Farrah Vesali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Critically ill patients are characterised by a severe net protein catabolism. The rate of muscle protein loss is in the magnitude of 10% per week. A consequence of muscle wasting is increased weakness, which is associated with high rates of mortality and morbidity. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Old-age muscle atrophy : cellular mechanisms and behavioral consequenses

    Författare :Mikael Altun; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : With advancing age, humans and rodents alike lose about one third of the skeletal muscle mass. A process referred to as old-age muscle atrophy or sarcopenia. LÄS MER
