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 کاملEvolving concepts on the age-related changes in “muscle quality”
The deterioration of skeletal muscle with advancing age has long been anecdotally recognized and has been of scientific interest for more than 150 years. Over the past several decades, the scientific and medical communities have recognized that skeletal muscle dysfunction (e.g., muscle weakness, poor muscle coordination, etc.) is a debilitating and life-threatening condition in the elderly. For...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in Muscle Strength of Healthy Japanese
Gravity-compensated extremity joint torque values were measured in approximately 1,000 healthy Japanese to test the hypothesis that young people in Japan have less muscle strength than older people. The extremity joint torque values of the women in their 20s were significantly lower than those of the women in their 40s, 50s, and/or 60s for six extremity joint torque parameters: wrist palmer fle...
متن کاملBalance decrements are associated with age-related muscle property changes.
In this study, a comprehensive evaluation of static and dynamic balance abilities was performed in young and older adults and regression analysis was used to test whether age-related variations in individual ankle muscle mechanical properties could explain differences in balance performance. The mechanical properties included estimates of the maximal isometric force capability, force-length, fo...
متن کاملExercise-related changes in protein turnover in mammalian striated muscle.
Contractile activity is an important determinant of the size, rate of protein turnover and phenotypic properties of muscle. Animal models that decrease muscle activity invariably accelerate the rate of protein degradation, usually complementing decreases in the rate of protein synthesis. The net effect is muscle atrophy. By contrast, increased activity and/or passive stretch enhance the synthes...
