Skeletal Muscle Weakness - 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚 and Mitochondrial Changes in Skeletal Muscle
This is a collection of skeletal muscle weakness-related illnesses. β-Hydroxybutyrate Elicits Favorable Mitochondrial Changes in Skeletal Muscle The clinical benefit of ketosis has historically and almost exclusively centered on neurological conditions, lending insight into how ketones alter mitochondrial function in neurons. However, there is a gap in our understanding of how ketones influence mitochondria within skeletal muscle cells. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30071599/ The ketone body β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) is synthesized in the liver from fatty acids and represents an essential carrier of energy from the liver to peripheral tissues when the supply of glucose is too low for the body's energetic needs . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6640868/ Post-polio syndrome and muscle weakness Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a disorder of the nerves and muscles. It happens in some people many years after they have had polio. PPS ma...
