Age-related Changes in GDNF Content of Skeletal Muscle
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a very potent neurotrophic factor that promotes the maintenance and survival of peripheral motor neurons and is expressed in skeletal muscle. Progressive loss of motor neurons occurs with aging, and over time this degeneration elicits devastating consequences on the physical performance and quality of life of the elderly. One possible explan...
متن کاملAge-related changes in speed and mechanism of adult skeletal muscle stem cell migration.
Skeletal muscle undergoes a progressive age-related loss in mass and function. Preservation of muscle mass depends in part on satellite cells, the resident stem cells of skeletal muscle. Reduced satellite cell function may contribute to the age-associated decrease in muscle mass. Here, we focused on characterizing the effect of age on satellite cell migration. We report that aged satellite cell...
متن کاملAge-related functional changes and susceptibility to eccentric contraction-induced damage in skeletal muscle cell
Depending upon external loading conditions, skeletal muscles can either shorten, lengthen, or remain at a fixed length as they produce force. Fixed-end or isometric contractions stabilize joints and allow muscles to act as active struts during locomotion. Active muscles dissipate energy when they are lengthened by an external force that exceeds their current force producing capacity. These unac...
متن کاملAge-related skeletal muscle dysfunction: causes and mechanisms.
Age-related muscle weakening may ultimately result in the transition from an independent to a dependent life-style. The decline in muscle strength is larger than expected from the loss of muscle mass. Single fibre studies and in vitro motility assays indicate that part of the muscle dysfunction is due to modifications of the myosin molecule. A lower rate of protein turnover may increase the cha...
متن کاملAge-related changes in ATP-producing pathways in human skeletal muscle in vivo.
Energy for muscle contractions is supplied by ATP generated from 1) the net hydrolysis of phosphocreatine (PCr) through the creatine kinase reaction, 2) oxidative phosphorylation, and 3) anaerobic glycolysis. The effect of old age on these pathways is unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine whether age may affect ATP synthesis rates from these pathways during maximal voluntary isometr...
