Our results clearly show that the intervention with WMPP can significantly improve the exercise capacity and skeletal muscle mass in SIM mice. It significantly increases the diameter and cross-sectional area (CSA) of skeletal muscle fibers, while effectively reducing the excessive aggregation of collagen fibers and the abnormal accumulation of adipose tissue in the skeletal muscle of SIM mice. Moreover, WMPP intervention also significantly alleviated the oxidative stress status of mitochondria, which subsequently enhanced the expression of mitochondrial metabolic enzymes. The mechanism may be associated with decreased AMPK phosphorylation in skeletal muscle tissue and simultaneously increased phosphorylation of mTOR, p70S6K1, and 4EBP-1 in SIM mice. In summary, the WMPP intervention significantly enhances exercise capacity and skeletal muscle mass while mitigating the oxidative stress status of mitochondria.

We aimed to construct a Metabolism-malnutrition-inflammation score (MIS) to predict the risk of death in patients with HFpEF.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We included patients diagnosed with HFpEF and without infective or systemic disease. 20 biomarkers were filtered by the Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso)-Cox regression. 1000 times bootstrapping datasets were generated to select biomarkers that appeared above 95% frequency in repetitions to construct the MIS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 1083 patients diagnosed with HFpEF, 342 patients (31.6%) died during a median follow-up period of 2.5 years. The MIS was finally constructed based on 6 biomarkers, they were albumin (ALB), red blood cell distribution width-standard deviation (RDW-SD), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lymphocytes, triiodothyronine (T3) and uric acid (UA). Incorporating MIS into the basic predictive model significantly increased both discrimination (∆C-index = 0.034, 95% CI 0.013-0.050) and reclassification (IDI, 6.6%, 95% CI 4.0%-9.5%; NRI, 22.2% 95% CI 14.4%-30.2%) in predicting all-cause mortality. In the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the mean area under the curve (AUC) for the MIS was 0.778, 0.782 and 0.772 at 1, 3, and 5 years after discharge in the cross-validation sets. The MIS was independently associated with all-cause mortality (hazard ratio: 1.98, 95% CI [1.70-2.31], P < 0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>A risk score derived from 6 commonly used inflammatory, nutritional, thyroid and uric acid metabolic biomarkers can effectively identify high-risk patients with HFpEF, providing potential individualized management strategies for patients with HFpEF.</p>","PeriodicalId":19196,"journal":{"name":"Nutrition & Metabolism","volume":"21 1","pages":"77"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11443858/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142350903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
