Abstract excerpt

Fat-free mass (FFM) consists mostly of skeletal muscle and bone tissues, and identification of the genes and molecular mechanisms involved in the control of FFM would have implications for the understanding of sarcopenia and potentially osteoporesis associated with aging, as well as the response...
