Researchers from the University of Tsukuba identify differences in the clinical features of non-obese patients with non-alcoholic fatter liver disease based on their sex and body mass index UNIVERSITY OF TSUKUBA REPRESENTATIVE MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGES OF THE FEMORAL REGION IN A FEMALE SUBJECT WITHOUT NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE (NAFLD) (A) AND THAT IN A FEMALE...
This news or article is intended for readers with certain scientific or professional knowledge in the field. Fitness produced by training is here shown to correlate with reduced inflammatory signaling, but has no effect on the burden of senescent cells in old muscle tissue. This is interesting, as the accumulation of senescent cells with age...
by Northumbria University Research from Northumbria University, Newcastle, has shown the important role specific types of exercise can play in the management of bone loss, fatigue and muscle dysfunction for those with Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease which is estimated to affect about one in every 650 people in...
UNIVERSITY OF MAINE Jared Talbot is part of a 32-member international research team that identified a gene that, when altered, can cause bent fingers and toes, clubfoot, scoliosis, and short stature. The team discovered that partial loss of the protein coding gene MYLPF (myosin light chain, phosphorylatable, fast skeletal muscle) results in a disorder called...
Lower back problems are very common. They can cause a constant dull ache or a sudden sharp pain. Lower back pain has a variety of possible causes, which range from poor posture to underlying medical conditions. However, certain stretches may help by relieving pain and improving flexibility. In this article, we discuss the types of...

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER A meat-based diet is better for muscle health compared to plant-based proteins The King’s College London study also recommends eating both types of diet Vegans in the UK are therefore more likely to feel effects of ageing bodies Plant-based proteins will not boost muscle health as much as eating meat as...
Sleep myoclonus is involuntary, nonrhythmic muscle twitching that occurs either as a person falls asleep or during sleep. Sleep myoclonus is not a disease but a symptom of several different conditions. Sleep myoclonus can also happen without a known cause. In this article, we discuss what sleep myoclonus is, its causes, and how doctors treat...
THESE MEALS ARE EXAMPLES OF VEGETARIAN MEALS THAT HELP BUILD MUSCLE PROTEINS BECAUSE THEY CONSIST OF A COMPLEMENTARY AND COMPLETE PROFILE OF ALL ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS. On a gram for gram basis, animal proteins are more effective than plant proteins in supporting the maintenance of skeletal muscle mass with advancing age, shows research presented this...
The age-related decline of the immune system has several causes, but the involution of the thymus is an important one. The thymus is responsible for the production of mature T cells of the adaptive immune system, but the organ atrophies with age. The supply of new T cells falls off dramatically in later life, and...
