Abstract

Cachexia is a complex metabolic disorder and muscle atrophy syndrome, impacting 80% patients with advanced cancers. Malignant glioma is considered to be one of the deadliest human cancers, accounting for about 60% of all primary brain tumors. However, cachexia symptoms induced by glioma have received little attention. This work aims to explore skeletal muscle atrophy in orthotopic glioma murine models.
