A supplement of ketones may be the magic bullet that allows patients using weight-loss drugs to avoid the potentially adverse side-effect of a shrinking heart and skeletal muscle, according to a ...

Researchers successfully developed and validated a new outcome measure to monitor disease severity and progression in patients with impaired skeletal muscle function caused by mitochondrial disease.

A research team led by Prof. Chen Yan and Prof. Yang Lifeng from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed a physiological function of monocarboxylate ...

Numerous motor and structural proteins compose a highly ordered structure known as the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction in heart and skeletal muscles. Sarcomeric myosin heavy chain ...

Researchers found that GLP-1 medicines caused weight loss mainly through fat reduction, with only modest decreases in absolute muscle mass and no disproportionate loss of muscle function. In mice, ...

From arthritis and heart failure to diabetes and menopause, many conditions are associated with muscle weakness and increased fat deposits. Now a multidisciplinary team of researchers at the ...

The gut-muscle axis is a bidirectional communication network between the gastrointestinal tract and skeletal muscle.

A single species of gut bacterium found in human stool samples correlates with measurably stronger muscles across multiple ...

NUS scientists have developed a self-training method that strengthens lab-grown muscle tissues around the clock, and used them to power a living-muscle robot that swims faster than any of its ...
