Skeletal muscle loss is a risk factor for developing dementia, according to a study being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

The cells that make up skeletal muscle cannot divide, but they can get larger. (That's compared to smooth muscles, which contract without any voluntary control and whose cells are able to divide ...

Muscle relaxers are typically taken orally, "to relieve pain, spasm and stiffness of skeletal muscles by depressing the central nervous system," explains Christopher Gharibo, MD, director of pain ...

In the absence of MCT1 in skeletal muscle, both lactate uptake by oxidative muscle fibers and its entry into mitochondria were impaired, leading to increased intracellular NAD + levels.

Results revealed a strong correlation between skeletal muscle mass and bioelectrical impedance indices, confirming that bioelectrical impedance is a useful tool for this purpose. The work is ...
