  2. Muscle atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_atrophy

    Disuse is a common cause of muscle atrophy and can be local (due to injury or casting) or general (bed-rest). The rate of muscle atrophy from disuse (10–42 days) is approximately 0.5–0.6% of total muscle mass per day although there is considerable variation between people. [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cachexia

    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.

    Even if muscle size diminishes after a hiatus, the muscle cells you build through training remain, creating a foundation for faster progress when you return. “Your body might not be ready for ...

  5. Atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrophy

    Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body. Causes of atrophy include mutations (which can destroy the gene to build up the organ), poor nourishment, poor circulation, loss of hormonal support, loss of nerve supply to the target organ, excessive amount of apoptosis of cells, and disuse or lack of exercise or disease intrinsic to the tissue itself.

  6. Sarcopenia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcopenia

    Deficiency of BNIP3 leads to muscle inflammation and atrophy. [19] Furthermore, not every muscle is as susceptible to the atrophic effects of aging. For example, in both humans [20] and mice [21] it has been shown that lower leg muscles are not as susceptible to aging as upper leg muscles. This could perhaps be explained by the differential ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musculoskeletal_injury

    In many cases, during the healing period after a musculoskeletal injury, a period in which the healing area will be completely immobile, a cast-induced muscle atrophy can occur. Routine sessions of physiotherapy after the cast is removed can help return strength in limp muscles or tendons.

  8. Starvation response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starvation_response

    The cost of the brain using too much glucose is muscle loss. If the brain and muscles relied entirely on glucose, the body would lose 50% of its nitrogen content in 8–10 days. [13] After prolonged fasting, [clarification needed] the body begins to degrade its own skeletal muscle. To keep the brain functioning, gluconeogenesis continues to ...

  9. Denervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denervation

    This magnified image of type 2 muscle fibers shows denervation atrophy occurring at the white spaces at the top left and bottom center of the image. The white space represents a disruption of the nerve fibers, resulting in a loss of nerve supply to the muscle fibers. Denervation is any loss of nerve supply regardless of the cause.
