The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in biomarkers of skeletal muscle proteolysis (atrogin-1, muscle RING finger-1 protein [MuRF-1]) and inflammation (nuclear factor kappa-B) in skeletal muscles of rats under two catabolic conditions, diabetes mellitus (DM) and acute joint inflammation, and the effects of insulin therapy.
Although many negative regulators (atrogin-1, muscle ring finger-1, nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), myostatin, etc.) have been proposed to enhance protein degradation during both sarcopenia and cachexia, the adaptation of these mediators markedly differs within both conditions.

We genotyped tumors from 28 patients (16 female patients and 12 male patients) ranging from 13 to 77 years and correlated the results with the tumor site (15 finger/1 hand/4 arm/7 leg/1 eyelid), Ki-67 index, and clinical follow-up.
