Obesity is a triggering factor for diabetes associated with insulin resistance. In individuals
who are obese, higher amounts of non-esterified fatty acids, glycerol, hormones, and pro …

Obesity can cause a decline in contractile function of skeletal muscle, thereby reducing
mobility and promoting obesity-associated health risks. We reviewed the literature to …

Skeletal muscle atrophy is prevalent in a myriad of pathological conditions, such as
diabetes, denervation, long-term immobility, malnutrition, sarcopenia, obesity, Alzheimer's …

Sarcopenia is of important clinical relevance for loss of independence in older adults. The
prevalence of obesity in combination with sarcopenia ('sarcopenic-obesity') is increasing at …

High-fat (HF) diets in combination with sedentary lifestyle represent one of the major public
health concerns predisposing to obesity and diabetes leading to skeletal muscle atrophy …

Adipose tissue secretes numerous cytokines (termed 'adipokines') that have known or
hypothesized actions on skeletal muscle. The majority of adipokines have been implicated …

Purpose This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the effects of
different forms of resistance training on body composition and muscle strength in overweight …

Background: Obesity and excess body weight are significant epidemiological issues, not
only because they are costly to treat, but also because they are among the leading causes of …

Advancements in metabolomic and genomic research tools are revealing new insights into
how metabolic networks can influence skeletal muscle fiber composition. In this mini-review …

Prolonged high-fat diets (HFDs) can cause intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) accumulation that
may negatively affect muscle function. We investigated the duration of a HFD required to …
