Muscle atrophy is the loss of skeletal muscle mass. It can be caused by immobility, aging, malnutrition, medications, or a wide range of injuries or diseases...

The muscles soon wither away from atrophy. The adrenal glands atrophy during prolonged use of exogenous glucocorticoids like prednisone. Atrophy of the...

Spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), popularly known as Kennedy's disease, is a rare, adult-onset, X-linked recessive lower motor neuron disease...

lipodystrophy. The muscle hypertrophy may persist throughout the course of the disease, or may later atrophy, or become pseudohypertrophic (muscle atrophy with infiltration...

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a rare neuromuscular disorder that results in the loss of motor neurons and progressive muscle wasting. It is usually...

abnormalities affecting the deltoid are tears, fatty atrophy, and enthesopathy. Deltoid muscle tears are unusual and frequently related to traumatic...

over a long period (chronic) may result in the muscle becoming an abnormal size, such as muscle atrophy (abnormally small) or a pseudoathletic appearance...

rotator cuff tear. Atrophy of the teres minor muscle is often a consequence of a rotator cuff tear, but common isolated teres minor atrophies have also been...

result of muscle inflammation (immunity-related swelling), muscle hyperplasia, muscle hypertrophy, muscle pseudohypertrophy (muscle atrophy with infiltration...

hypotonia. Additionally, lower muscle tone can be caused by Mikhail-Mikhail syndrome, which is characterized by muscular atrophy and cerebellar ataxia which...

labii inferioris muscle. In a similar fashion to other muscles, the platysma muscle is vulnerable to tears, strains and muscle atrophy, among many other...

cell bodies. In these disorders, a patient experiences progressive muscle atrophy and sensory neuropathy of the extremities. The term "hereditary motor...

injected in the muscle is usually limited to 2–5 milliliters, depending on injection site. A site with signs of infection or muscle atrophy should not be...

cause skeletal muscle atrophy. TRIM63/MuRF1 has been shown to interact with Titin, GMEB1 and SUMO2. During settings of skeletal muscle atrophy, the levels...

Deficiency of BNIP3 leads to muscle inflammation and atrophy. Furthermore, not every muscle is as susceptible to the atrophic effects of aging. For example...

degeneration, the symptoms of PMA include:[citation needed] muscle weakness muscle atrophy fasciculations Some patients have symptoms restricted only to...

Muscle contractures can occur for many reasons, such as paralysis, muscular atrophy, and forms of muscular dystrophy. Fundamentally, the muscle and its...

muscular atrophy. Physiologically, minimal amounts of cardiac myostatin are secreted from the myocardium into serum, having a limited effect on muscle growth...

findings include muscle atrophy and fasciculations, and upper motor neuron (UMN) findings include hyperreflexia, spasticity, muscle spasm, and abnormal...

while damage to the lower motor neuron typically causes weakness, muscle atrophy, and fasciculations. Classical, or classic ALS, involves degeneration...

Testicular atrophy is a medical condition in which one or both testicles (or "testes") diminish in size and may be accompanied by reduced testicular function...

physiologic atrophy. Skeletal muscle atrophy is a common pathologic adaptation to skeletal muscle disuse (commonly called "disuse atrophy"). Tissue and...

junctions, or skeletal muscles, all of which are components of the motor unit. Damage to any of these structures can cause muscle atrophy and weakness. Issues...

iliotibial tract. Sitting for long periods can lead to the gluteal muscles atrophying through constant pressure and disuse. This may be associated with...

presented symptoms. This can include various physical symptoms, including muscle atrophy and osteoporosis. While physical conditions are possible as the result...

Joseph G.; Freeman, Michael (May 2014). "Long-term lumbar multifidus muscle atrophy changes documented with magnetic resonance imaging: a case series"....

in normal aging (although technically, the apparent muscle wasting is sarcopenia rather than atrophy). The term split hand syndrome was first coined in...

Unloading of skeletal muscle, both on Earth via bed-rest experiments and during spaceflight, result in remodeling of muscle (atrophic response). As a result...

Microgravity has a negative effect on human physiology that causes both muscle atrophy and bone loss. The use of the short version space,as meaning 'the region...
