Cancer cachexia is a severe wasting condition that needs further study to find ways to minimise the effects of damage and poor prognosis. Skeletal muscle is the most impacted tissue in cancer cachexia; thus, elucidation of its metabolic alterations could provide a direct clue for biomarker research and be applied to detect this syndrome earlier. In addition, concerning the significant changes in the host metabolism across life, this study aimed to compare the metabolic muscle changes in cachectic tumour-bearing hosts at different ages. We performed 1H-NMR metabolomics in the gastrocnemius muscle in weanling and young adult Walker-256 tumour-bearing rats at different stages of tumour evolution (initial, intermediate, and advanced). Among the 49 metabolites identified, 24 were significantly affected throughout tumour evolution and 21 were significantly affected regarding animal age. The altered metabolites were mainly related to increased amino acid levels and changed energetic metabolism in the skeletal muscle, suggesting an expressive catabolic process and diverted energy production, especially in advanced tumour stages in both groups. Moreover, these changes were more severe in weanling hosts throughout tumour evolution, suggesting the distinct impact of cancer cachexia regarding the host’s age, highlighting the need to adopting the right animal age when studying cancer cachexia.

Muscular dystrophies are a heterogeneous group of disorders that commonly involve cardiac and skeletal muscle. Comprehensive guidelines for the management of cardiac failure and arrhythmias are available. However, the studies from which their recommendations are derived did not include any patients with muscular dystrophy. Some medications (eg, betablockers) may have significant side effects in this cohort. In some situations the use of agents with unique mechanisms of action such as ivabradine (a ‘funny’ channel inhibitor) may be more appropriate. Use of ivabradine has not previously been reported in limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD). We describe the course of a patient with LGMD type 2I, cardiomyopathy and inappropriate sinus tachycardia treated with ivabradine. As advances in respiratory support have improved the outcomes of patients with muscular dystrophy; the prognostic significance of cardiac disease has increased. Ivabradine is tolerated and may reduce symptoms, morbidity and mortality in this cohort.
