This study investigates whether combining supervised resistance exercise three times a week with a high-protein diet can reduce frailty and improve balance in obese women aged 60–70 who have sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss). Sixty participants are randomly assigned to either …

This study is looking at what happens to muscle and bone when people lose weight using the drug tirzepatide. Researchers want to see if adding protein shakes and resistance exercise can protect muscle and bone. The study will enroll 50 adults with obesity and track changes over 6…

This study explores whether a new MRI-based muscle assessment score (MAsS) can predict adverse outcomes in people with end-stage liver disease who are candidates for a liver transplant. Researchers will measure muscle fat and volume from standard MRI scans and track hospital stay…

This study investigates whether proteins released by muscles, called myokines, can serve as early warning signs or even causes of muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with metabolic or endocrine conditions like diabetes, obesity, and Cushing syndrome. Researchers will measure myoki…
