Melkani’s lab study, titled "Time-restricted feeding promotes muscle function through purine cycle and AMPK signaling in Drosophila obesity models,” was recently published in Nature Communications.

As people age, muscles naturally lose mass and strength, a condition known as sarcopenia. The decline can make everyday activities harder and increases the risk of falls, disability and early death.

The mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is a process that relies on calcium signaling. However, the physiological role of calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) through the ryanodine receptor ...

Researchers found that GLP-1 medicines caused weight loss mainly through fat reduction, with only modest decreases in absolute muscle mass and no disproportionate loss of muscle function. In mice, ...

New research conducted on animal subjects suggests that ketogenic diets help muscle stem cells survive stress, and scientists believe the same could be true for humans. University researchers at ...

A study has reported that a high-fat, ketogenic diet normalised blood glucose and enhanced aerobic capacity in mice with hyperglycaemia, which suggests that dietary composition may determine how ...

A specific gut bacterium found in human stool samples is linked to significantly stronger muscles in both young and older adults, according to a peer-reviewed study published in the journal Gut. Older ...

When trying to lose weight, it's natural to want to see quick results. So when the number on the scales drops rapidly, it seems like we're on the right track. But as with many things related to weight ...
