Coupling between skeletal muscle fiber size and capillarization is maintained during healthy aging
BACKGROUND As muscle capillarization is related to the oxidative capacity of the muscle and the size of muscle fibres, capillary rarefaction may contribute to sarcopenia and functional impairment in older adults. Therefore, it is important to assess how ageing affects muscle capillarization and the interrelationship between fibre capillary supply with the oxidative capacity and size of the fibr...
متن کاملTestosterone-induced increase in muscle size in healthy young men is associated with muscle fiber hypertrophy.
Administration of replacement doses of testosterone to healthy hypogonadal men and supraphysiological doses to eugonadal men increases muscle size. To determine whether testosterone-induced increase in muscle size is due to muscle fiber hypertrophy, 61 healthy men, 18-35 yr of age, received monthly injections of a long-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist to suppress endogenous ...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle fiber quality in older men and women.
Whole muscle strength and cross-sectional area (WMCSA), and contractile properties of chemically skinned segments from single fibers of the quadriceps were studied in 7 young men (YM, 36.5 +/- 3. 0 yr), 12 older men (OM, 74.4 +/- 5.9 yr), and 12 older women (OW, 72.1 +/- 4.3 yr). WMCSA was smaller in OM compared with YM (56.1 +/- 10.1 vs. 79.7 +/- 13.1 cm(2); P = 0.031) and in OW (44.9 +/- 7.5;...
متن کاملPrevalence of sarcopenia and predictors of skeletal muscle mass in healthy, older men and women.
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia refers to the loss of skeletal muscle mass with age. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of sarcopenia in a population of older, community-dwelling research volunteers. METHODS Appendicular skeletal muscle mass was measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry in 195 women aged 64 to 93 years and 142 men aged 64 to 92 years. We defined sarcopenia as appen...
متن کاملSkeletal muscle disuse atrophy is not attenuated by dietary protein supplementation in healthy older men.
Short successive periods of muscle disuse, due to injury or illness, can contribute significantly to the loss of muscle mass with aging (sarcopenia). It has been suggested that increasing the protein content of the diet may be an effective dietary strategy to attenuate muscle disuse atrophy. We hypothesized that protein supplementation twice daily would preserve muscle mass during a short perio...
