Mechanistically, chronic hyperglycemia, absolute or functional insulin deficiency, and glycemic variability converge to suppress PI3K–AKT–mTOR signaling, activate FoxO-driven atrogenes (atrogin-1, MuRF1), and impair satellite-cell biology; advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and RAGE signaling stiffen extracellular matrix and promote low-grade inflammation (IL-6, TNF-α/IKK/NF-κB), while oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction further compromise the bone–muscle unit. Here, AKT1 is linked to Hyperglycemia.
