From the Chicago MeetingsSarcopenia

TL;DR: Findings suggest that consumption of the tablets containing 6.5 g MFGM for 4 weeks is safe for healthy adults, and there were no clinically significant changes in anthropometric measurements or blood tests.

TL;DR: Protein co-expression networks allow novel approaches for biological interpretation, quality control, inference of protein abundance, a framework for potentially resolving degenerate peptide-protein mappings, and a biomarker signature discovery.

TL;DR: This study evaluates nutritional alterations in 119 cancer patients, finding high prevalence of malnutrition (14%), sarcopenia (26.1%), and cachexia (12%), particularly in men and those with gastrointestinal cancer.

TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of exercise and nutrition and maca, which contains triterpenes, on muscle hypertrophy by using 3D-EM for the first time suggest that intervention with maca and EPS has a positive effect on musclehypertrophy, which has apositive impact on sarcopenia.

TL;DR: Some of the first estimates of the extent of the public health problem posed by sarcopenia are provided, independent of ethnicity, age, morbidity, obesity, income, and health behaviors.

TL;DR: High-intensity resistance exercise training is a feasible and effective means of counteracting muscle weakness and physical frailty in very elderly people, in contrast to multi-nutrient supplementation without concomitant exercise, which does not reduce muscle weakness orPhysical frailty.

TL;DR: The studies reveal that endogenous IL-6 plays a crucial antiinflammatory role in both local and systemic acute inflammatory responses by controlling the level of proinflammatory, but not antiinflammatory, cytokines, and that these antiinflammatory activities byIL-6 cannot be compensated for by IL-10 or other IL- 6 family members.

TL;DR: Results indicate a gradual decrease in size/volume with advancing age, accompanied by a replacement by fat and connective tissue.
