It appears that the maintenance of muscle mass and function depends on its use.

Maintenance of muscle mass is crucial to improving outcome and quality of life in cancer patients.
Furthermore, the observation that the promoter of MYOD1 was hypomethylated in active relative to inactive could indicate that the MyoD transcription factor contributes to maintenance of muscle mass.
Lifelong regular physical activity is associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), maintenance of muscle mass and increased metabolic capacity.
Among the beneficial effects of regular exercise is maintenance of muscle mass through enhanced proteostasis of structural proteins such as actin and myosin4.
Protein deficiency is an important cause since protein is essential for both growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
There are physical therapists who work specifically with people who have spinal injuries and teach exercises for prevention of stiffness in joints, maintenance of muscle, and for minimizing/managing pain.
To determine if this is due to defects in formation or defects in maintenance of muscle tissue, we used an inducible, targeted RNAi based approach to disrupt integrin-mediated adhesion in fully formed adult fly muscles.
Rocuronium bromide is a non-depolarizing muscle relaxant related to mono-quaternary steroid group which is used commonly in general anaesthesia for the facilitation of endotracheal intubation and for maintenance of muscle relaxation.
Of these potential mechanisms, life-style related factors may play an important role in development and maintenance of muscle pain in myofascial TMD.
