Myostatin inhibitors are a class of drugs that work by blocking the effect of myostatin, which inhibits muscle growth. In animal models and limited human studies, myostatin inhibitors have increased muscle size. They are being developed to treat obesity, sarcopenia, muscular dystrophy, and other illnesses.
Older adults may not utilize protein as efficiently as younger people and may require higher amounts to prevent muscle atrophy. [23] A number of expert groups have proposed an increase in dietary protein recommendations for older age groups to 1.0–1.2 g/kg body weight per day.
Muscle atrophy is the loss of skeletal muscle mass. It can be caused by immobility, aging, malnutrition, medications, or a wide range of injuries or diseases that impact the musculoskeletal or nervous system. Muscle atrophy leads to muscle weakness and causes disability.
Cachexia (/ k ə ˈ k ɛ k s i ə / [1]) is a syndrome that happens when people have certain illnesses, causing muscle loss that cannot be fully reversed with improved nutrition. [2] It is most common in diseases like cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, and AIDS.
These drugs aim to achieve adequate muscle relaxation for surgical procedures to prevent surgical trauma. [2] Vecuronium and pancuronium have an onset of 2 to 5 minutes in adults. [ 2 ] The time it takes to recover 25% of neuromuscular control after vecuronium and pancuronium therapy are 25 to 40 minutes and 60 to 80 minutes respectively.

Inclusion body myositis (IBM) (/ m aɪ oʊ ˈ s aɪ t ɪ s /) (sometimes called sporadic inclusion body myositis, sIBM) is the most common inflammatory muscle disease in older adults. [2] The disease is characterized by slowly progressive weakness and wasting of both proximal muscles (located on or close to the torso ) and distal muscles (close ...
