The biology of satellite cells and telomeres in human skeletal muscle: effects of aging and physical activity
18 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
The decline in the neuromuscular function affects the physical performance and is a threat for independent living in later life. The age-related decrease in muscle satellite cells observed by the age of 70 can be specific to type II fibers in some muscles. Several studies have shown that different forms of exercise induce the expansion of satellite cell pool in human skeletal muscle of young and elderly. Exercise...
