Biochemical maturation accompanies the rapid accretion of skeletal muscle in early life. We wished to determine whether changes in muscle protein accretion, induced by variations in food intake, altered the biochemical maturation of the soleus and the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles. Rat pups were suckled in litters of 4, 10, or 16 to induce differences in food intake. At 21 days of age, muscle protein and DNA were quantitated and biochemical maturation was assessed from measurement of [3H]ouabain-binding site abundance and myosin isoform composition. Differences in food intake produced a twofold range in body and muscle weights and protein and DNA contents. Protein accretion was more sensitive to nutrient intake in the soleus than in the EDL. Serum 3-5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3) and insulin concentrations decreased with a reduction in food intake. Total ouabain-binding sites were not altered in either muscle and were independent of muscle size. Differences in myosin isoform composition were more pronounced for the soleus than the EDL, but were relatively small in magnitude. These results demonstrate that, whereas postnatal muscle protein accretion and circulating hormone concentrations are sensitive to food intake, the biochemical maturation is resilient. The immature muscle does not exhibit the fiber type-specific responses to malnutrition typical of mature muscle.

ObjectiveWe aimed to describe eating patterns among home-dwelling older subjects to establish typologies of eaters at higher or lower risk of malnutrition.DesignCross-sectional study between June and September 2015 using a standardised questionnaire. The questionnaire was given to home-help employees (responsible for delivering meals to home-dwelling older persons and helping them to eat). The employees were asked to complete the questionnaire three times during the same week, for the same older adults, in order to identify the totality of their food intake.SettingRegistered customers of the home meal delivery company ‘Azaé’ (France).Participants605 older home-dwelling persons were randomly selected among customers served by the home meal delivery company.OutcomesMultiple factor analysis was used to understand the different modes of food consumption and to establish eating profiles. Hierarchical classification was performed to construct eating profiles corresponding to the dietary habits of the respondents.ResultsAverage age of the older adults was 85.3 years; 73.5% were women. Overall, 59% of participants reported that they ate out of habit, while 33.7% said they ate for pleasure. We identified four different groups of eaters, at varying levels of risk for malnutrition. Individuals in group 4 had the highest food intake in terms of quantity; and were less dependent than individuals in group 1 (p=0.05); group 1 was at highest risk of malnutrition.ConclusionImproved understanding of eating habits can help detect risky behaviours and help caregivers to promote better nutrition among home-dwelling older subjects.
