The triad of muscle health: gut–muscle axis in the context of sarcopenia and exercise, a narrative review

Sep 2026 · Sport Sciences for Health · Vol 22 · 0 citations · 71 references

TL;DR

Key mechanistic evidence demonstrating how targeted GM interventions and structured exercise regimens may synergistically counteract muscle decline is explored, to support the development of innovative therapeutic approaches combining exercise and GM modulation to improve muscle health, functional independence, and healthy ageing trajectories are explored.

The Gut Microbiota–Muscle Axis: Lactobacillus as a Potential Modulator of Skeletal Muscle Health

Skeletal muscle constitutes one of the largest tissue compartments in the human body and plays fundamental roles in locomotion, posture maintenance, and metabolic regulation. Muscle homeostasis requires a precise balance between protein synthesis and degradation pathways; disruption of this equilibrium leads to patholo...

Vitamin B deficiency and sarcopenia: an integrated narrative review of metabolic, inflammatory, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and myokine signaling pathways.

Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder characterized by progressive decline in muscle mass, strength, and physical performance, leading to frailty, disability, falls, and increased mortality. Although its pathogenesis is multifactorial, growing evidence indicates that vitamin B complex deficiency contrib...

Sarcopenia as a Disorder of Skeletal Muscle Homeostasis: A Five-Pillar Translational Framework Linking Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Treatment

Sarcopenia is a progressive skeletal muscle disorder in which clinically relevant muscle failure is expressed primarily as reduced muscle strength, with low muscle quantity or quality used to confirm the diagnosis and impaired physical performance indicating greater severity in the EWGSOP2 (European Working Group on Sa...

Aging of Skeletal Muscle: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

ABSTRACT Skeletal muscle aging is a major cause of frailty, metabolic dysfunction, and loss of independence in later life, yet it cannot be explained by muscle mass loss alone. Recent single‐cell, multi‐omics, and translational studies show that aged muscle is shaped by coordinated changes in myofibers, stem and stroma...

Probiotic supplementation as a nutritional strategy for the prevention and management of sarcopenia in older adults

Introduction Sarcopenia, defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and functional capacity over time, poses a significant health burden among older adults. A growing body of evidence indicates that the gut microbiota contributes to inflammation and metabolic regulation, mitochondrial function, and anabolic...
