In this review, we describe the pathophysiology of sarcopenia and cachexia, explore their definitions in the context of geriatric oncology, and examine assessment methods used in clinical practice. Great job Makis. @lsuchse @acsmnews @skppowers

Carbohydrate intake of 10 g/kg body mass rapidly replenishes liver, but not muscle glycogen contents, during 12 h of post-exercise recovery in well-trained cyclists @Cas_Fuchs (et al.,) is on a tear with great work lately https://t.co/e38zYZsxh5

📊 A new review on protein quality highlights: EAA density (%EAAs/kcal) is key - animal proteins deliver the highest quality vs plants. For groups with lower energy needs (e.g., older sedentary women, ~1600 kcal/d), a whole-food vegan diet may require ~300 extra kcal/day to

Illness or injury can affect any of us — and often results in hospitalization. Yet the impact of hospital stays on muscle health is often underestimated. ⬇️

💉 Weight-loss injections: the good, the bad, and the unknown (Part 2) This one might be controversial. Part 2 covers the downsides or *potential* downsides of GLP-1RAs: Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. 🔘 Lack of weight loss 🔘 Weight re-gain 🔘 Risk of muscle loss

I'm enjoying diving into this new review on protein quality by @JosephMatthews_ et al! So much good info, especially regarding how we define a "high-quality protein." Interviewing Joe tomorrow about his paper and other protein-related topics.

Protein intake at the level of the RDA (0.8 g/kg/d) necessitates higher protein quality to achieve the benefits associated with essential amino acid intake (e.g., a 30% increase in daily protein intake for people consuming vegan diets). source: https://t.co/boTNGgNofg

"Diet modeling studies show that essential amino acid density & protein quality are higher in omnivorous & lacto-ovo-vegetarian diets, & diets high in whole-food plant-derived proteins may require greater total protein & energy intakes to compensate for lower protein quality."
