Derangements of amino acids in cachectic skeletal muscle are caused by mitochondrial dysfunction
Abstract Background Cachexia is the direct cause of at least 20% of cancer‐associated deaths. Muscle wasting in skeletal muscle results in weakness, immobility, and death secondary to impaired respiratory muscle function. Muscle proteins are massively degraded in cachexia; nevertheless, the molecula...
