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 apoptotic responses to stretch-induced hypertrophy in quail slow-tonic skeletal muscle.
In the present study, we examined the responses of apoptosis and apoptotic regulatory factors to muscle hypertrophy induced by stretch overload in quail slow-tonic muscles. The wings from one side of young and aged Japanese quails were loaded by attaching a tube weight corresponding to 12% of the bird's body weight for 7 or 21 days. Muscle from the contralateral side served as the intraanimal c...
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 کاملMyostatin expression in age and denervation-induced skeletal muscle atrophy.
Myostatin is hypothesized to regulate skeletal muscle mass and to be a potential target for therapeutic intervention in sarcopenia. To clarify whether myostatin is invariably associated with sarcopenia, this study examined the levels of expression of myostatin mRNA and protein in Sprague Dawley rats during aging- and denervation-induced sarcopenia. The level of myostatin mRNA in the gastrocnemi...
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...
