Download or read book Osteosarcopenia Bone Muscle and Fat Interactions written by Gustavo Duque and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-06 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited work presents the most current evidence on osteosarcopenia from bench to bedside, which is expected to facilitate the understanding of this syndrome and to develop preventive and therapeutic strategies. With our aging population, chronic diseases such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia are becoming highly prevalent. Fortunately, our understanding of the bone and muscle interactions has increased in recent years. This has allowed to the coining of the term osteosarcopenia to describe a syndrome in which these two diseases overlap. This overlap between osteoporosis and sarcopenia has major negative effects not only on our older adults but also on health systems worldwide. Readers will find a highly translational approach that starts with a summary of recent discoveries on stem cells biology, muscle and bone interactions – including the role of local bone and muscle fat – followed by comprehensive reviews on myokines (i.e. myostatin), osteokines (i.e. osteocalcin) and adipokines (i.e. interleukins) as major players and determinants of bone and muscle loss with aging. In addition, the role of sex steroids (i.e. estrogens, androgens), and calciotropic hormones (i.e. parathyroid hormone, vitamin D) in the pathogenesis of this syndrome is also reviewed. Moreover, using practical diagnostic and therapeutic tips, this book summarizes the clinical characteristics of osteosarcopenic patients thus facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome in clinical practice. Finally, the book presents the case for the Falls and Fractures Clinic as the optimal model of care for this syndrome, aimed to avoid fragmentation and optimize osteosarcopenia care, and simultaneously prevent falls and fractures in older persons. This book offers relevant information on the mechanisms of osteosarcopenia, and a practical guide on how to identify and treat this geriatric syndrome and its adverse outcomes, which are dramatically affecting our aging population. The work is written by leaders in the field and is especially suited not only to any researcher in the musculoskeletal arena but also to medical specialists and allied health professionals involved in the care of older persons.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effect of creatine supplementation dosing strategies on aging muscle performanceJ Chami, Author1, University of Regina, Regina, SK,D Candow, Author2, University of Regina, Regina SKIntroduction:Creatine supplementation has shown promise for increasing muscle strength, endurance and tasks of functionality during aging. Previousstudies indicatelow-dosage supplementation (0.1g/kg) for >6 weeks and high-dosage (0.3g/kg) for 5-7 days can increase intramuscular creatine which may subsequently benefit aging muscle performance. Proteins involved in sensing changes in osmolarity and signal transduction have been upregulated, along with proteins involved in satellite cell proliferation and differentiation in response to 10 days of creatine supplementation, independent of exercise.Objective:Comparedifferent creatine dosages independent of exercise on aging muscle performance and functionality.Methods: Using a double-blind, repeated measures design, participants were randomized to: Creatine-High (n = 11; 0.3 g/kg/day of creatine + 0.1 g/kg/day of maltodextrin), Creatine-Low (n = 9; 0.1 g/kg/day of creatine + 0.3 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) or Placebo (n = 11; 0.4 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) for 10 days. The DependentVariablesmeasured at baseline and after supplementation were muscle strength (1-RM leg, chest press, and hand grip), muscle endurance (leg, chest press; maximum repetitions at 80% and 70% baseline 1- RM), and tasks of functionality (walking speed, balance).Results: There was a significant increase over time for leg press strength (p = 0.000), chest press strength (p = 0.001), leg press endurance (p = 0.001) and chest press endurance (p = 0.001), with no differences between groups. There were no changes over time between groups for right-hand grip strength (p = 0.571), left-hand grip strength (p = 0.386), walking speed (p = 0.226) or falls (p = 0.414).Conclusion:short-term creatine supplementation, independent of dosage, has no effect on aging muscle performance.Significance to the field of Dietetics:Provide important information for the development of dietary and nutritionalsupplementation protocols for aging muscle health toprevent a lossof functional capacity and improve overall quality of life.

Download or read book The Effects of Combined Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation and Resistance Training on Body Composition Muscle Strength and Markers of Satellite Cell Activity in Older Males written by Brian Brabham and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging is associated with gradual loss of muscle mass, termed sarcopenia, which often leads to progressive disability and loss of independence. Though resistance exercise has shown to be an effective method at reducing the rate of age-related muscle loss and decline in force output; when combined with well known muscle building agents [such as creatine monohydrate (CrM)], these training-induced improvements are enhanced. To explore this idea further, a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 20 males aged between 55-75 yrs at Baylor University, Waco TX. Participants were randomly assigned to consume either CrM [20g/d CrM + 5g Carbohydrate (CHO) x 7 days, then 5g/d CrM +5g CHO x 77 days] or carbohydrate placebo (20g/d CHO x 7 days, then 5g/d CHO x 77 days) while participating in a high intensity resistance training program (3 sets x 10 repetitions at 75% of 1RM), 3 days per week for 12 weeks. Testing sessions were complete prior to, 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks post resistance training and supplementation. Each testing session included body composition measurement as determined by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), muscle strength measurement as determined by 1 repetition maximum (RM) on leg press and bench press, blood collection and vastus lateralis muscle biopsy. The blood serum was analyzed for insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), free testosterone and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and the muscle tissue for phophorylated mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), myogenic regulatory factors (MyoD, myogenin, Myf-5, MRF-4), and total myofibrillar protein. A significant time effect was observed for 1RM bench press (p=0.016), leg press (p

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose was to investigate the effects of high-low resistance training (2 sets of leg press, chest press, hack squat and lat pull-down exercises performed to muscle fatigue at 80% baseline 1-repetition maximum [1-RM] immediately followed by repetitions to muscle fatigue at 30% baseline 1-RM) and creatine supplementation in aging adults. Participants were randomized to one of two groups: Creatine (CR: n = 14, 7 females, 7 males; 0.1 g/kg/day of creatine + 0.1 g/kg/day of maltodextrin; age = 58.0 ± 3.0 years) or Placebo (PLA: n = 17, 7 females, 10 males; 0.2 g/kg/day of maltodextrin; age = 57.6 ± 5.0 years) during 12 weeks of high-low resistance training (3 days/week). Prior to and following training and supplementation, assessments were made for body composition (whole-body lean tissue mass, fat mass, bone mineral), strength (1-RM for the leg press, chest press, hack squat and lat pull-down exercise), muscle endurance (total number of repetitions performed for 1 set using 70% baseline 1-RM for the chest press exercise and 80% 1-RM for the leg press exercise), tasks of functionality (hand-grip strength, balance, falls, walking speed), muscle protein catabolism (urinary excretion of 3-methylhistidine, 3-MH) and diet. Results showed that high-low resistance training improved lean tissue mass, muscle strength, endurance and tasks of functionality (p

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose was to investigate the effects of high-velocity resistance training (HVRT) and creatine supplementation on muscle thickness and muscle performance in untrained healthy aging males. Participants were randomized to one of two groups: creatine (CR: n = 12, 59.0 ± 7.0 yrs, 94.8 ± 14.3 kg, 176.4 ± 8.6 cm; 0.1 g/kg/day of creatine) or placebo (PLA: n = 12, 58.1 ± 5.8 yrs, 92.0 ± 23.3 kg, 176.4 ± 8.6 cm; 0.1 g/kg/day of maltodextrin) during 8-weeks of HVRT. Prior to and following training and supplementation, assessments were made for muscle thickness (elbow and knee flexors and extensors), strength (1-repetition maximum for leg-press and chest-press), peak torque (knee flexion and extension), and tasks of functionality (balance and walking speed). There was a significant increase over time for all measures of muscle thickness (p
Download or read book The Effects of Creatine Ethyl Ester Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Body Composition Muscle Mass and Performance and Intramuscular Creatine Uptake in Males written by Mike Spillane and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creatine monohydrate has become one of the most popular ingested nutritional supplements due to its potential enhancement of athletic performance. Creatine absorption from the serum into skeletal muscle occurs through the utilization of a membrane-spanning protein, CreaT1. Numerous creatine formulations have been developed primarily to maximize creatine absorption. Creatine ethyl ester (CEE) has been chemically modified by adding an ester group and is thought to increase creatine bio-availability by by-passing the CreaT1. This study examined how a seven week supplementation regimen with CEE affected body composition, muscle mass and performance, whole body creatine retention, as well physiological and molecular adaptations, associated with creatine uptake in nonresistance-trained males following a resistance-training program. Results demonstrated that CEE did not show any additional benefit to increases in muscle strength/performance or a significant increase in total muscle creatine when compared to creatine monohydrate or placebo. CEE supplementation did show a large increase in creatinine levels throughout the study.
