A protein consists of amino acids (AA) linked by peptide bonds. Dietary protein is hydrolyzed
by proteases and peptidases to generate AA, dipeptides, and tripeptides in the lumen of the …

Inadequate or excessive nutrient consumption leads to oxidative stress, which may disrupt
oxidative homeostasis, activate a cascade of molecular pathways, and alter the metabolic …

Currently, the association between sarcopenia and long-term prognosis after gastric cancer
surgery has not been investigated. Moreover, the association between sarcopenia and …

Cancer cachexia is a metabolic syndrome that can be present even in the absence of weight
loss ('precachexia'). Cachexia is often compounded by pre-existing muscle loss, and is …

Following its predecessor, the second edition of Amino Acids: Biochemistry and Nutrition
presents exhaustive coverage of amino acids in the nutrition, metabolism and health of …

Background: Skeletal muscle depletion (sarcopenia) predicts morbidity and mortality in the
elderly and cancer patients. Methods: We tested whether sarcopenia predicts primary …

Cancer cachexia is a multi-factorial syndrome, which negatively affects quality of life,
responsiveness to chemotherapy, and survival in advanced cancer patients. Our …

Aim We performed a meta-analysis of observational studies to evaluate the association
between the presence of sarcopenia and HbA1c, prediabetes, diabetes and diabetic …
