Journal ArticleDOI
Calf circumference as a surrogate marker of muscle mass for diagnosing sarcopenia in Japanese men and women
Ryoko Kawakami,Ryoko Kawakami,Haruka Murakami,Kiyoshi Sanada,Noriko Tanaka,Susumu S. Sawada,Izumi Tabata,Mitsuru Higuchi,Motohiko Miyachi +8 more
TL;DR: The relationship between calf circumference and muscle mass is examined and the suitability of calf circumference as a surrogate marker of muscle mass for the diagnosis of sarcopenia among middle‐aged and older Japanese men and women is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoxide dismutase and catalase in skeletal muscle: adaptive response to exercise.
TL;DR: It seems unlikely that increased capacity for enzymatic scavenging of superoxide radical is a major protective adaptation against free radical damage in exercise-trained muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-sectional study of sarcopenia in Japanese men and women: reference values and association with cardiovascular risk factors
Kiyoshi Sanada,Kiyoshi Sanada,Motohiko Miyachi,Michiya Tanimoto,Kenta Yamamoto,Haruka Murakami,Shigetoshi Okumura,Yuko Gando,Katsuhiko Suzuki,Izumi Tabata,Mitsuru Higuchi +10 more
TL;DR: Although sarcopenia is associated with thin body mass, it is associatedwith more glycation of serum proteins in men and with greater arterial stiffness in women, independent of waist circumference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase C677T Polymorphism, Folic Acid and Riboflavin Are Important Determinants of Genome Stability in Cultured Human Lymphocytes
TL;DR: This preliminary investigation suggests that MTHFR C677T polymorphism and riboflavin affect genome instability; however, the effect is relatively small compared with that of folic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longer Time Spent in Light Physical Activity Is Associated With Reduced Arterial Stiffness in Older Adults
Yuko Gando,Kenta Yamamoto,Haruka Murakami,Yumi Ohmori,Ryoko Kawakami,Kiyoshi Sanada,Mitsuru Higuchi,Izumi Tabata,Motohiko Miyachi +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that longer time spent in light physical activity is associated with attenuation of arterial stiffening, especially in unfit older people.
