Skeletal muscle atrophy is a pathological condition mainly characterized by a loss of
muscular mass and the contractile capacity of the skeletal muscle as a consequence of …

Commercially reared food animals encounter serial pathogenic and nonpathogenic immune
challenges throughout production. Because of the diversion of nutrients away from growth in …

Muscle wasting that occurs with cancer cachexia is caused by an imbalance in the rates of
muscle protein synthesis and degradation. The ApcMin/+ mouse is a model of colorectal …

This book presents evidence that infection is cyclical with the seasons, and that this
phenomenon is mirrored in cycles of immune function. The book identifies the mechanisms …

Adams, GR, and F. Haddad. The relationships among IGF-1, DNA content, and protein
accumulation during skeletal muscle hypertrophy. J. Appl. Physiol. 81 (6): 2509–2516, 1996 …

Simple Summary Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) derived from intestinal bacteria is linked to long-
lasting inflammation that contributes to the development of intestinal cancer. While much …

Cancer cachexia is characterized by skeletal muscle wasting that is mainly supported by
hypercatabolism. Muscle atrophy has been suggested to depend on impaired IGF-1 signal …

In recent years many efforts have been undertaken to elucidate the complex interactions
between mediators of the endocrine system and the immune system. The main effector of …

The influence of a low and a high level chronic immune system (IS) activation on growth and
dietary nutrient needs of pigs was evaluated. All pigs were of a single genetic strain and …

Although the boundaries of skeletal muscle size are fundamentally determined by genetics,
this dynamic tissue also demonstrates great plasticity in response to environmental and …
