Abstract

Obesity is becoming a chronic epidemic worldwide. Persistent obesity, in addition to triggering changes in skeletal muscle function and structure, may also lead to the occurrence of skeletal muscle atrophy, that maybe associate with autophagy and ubiquitin protea-some, interleukin-6, leptin, adiponectin, interleukin-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, growth hormone, angiotensin II, glucocorticoid, ad-vanced glycation end-product and myostatin, etc.
