Aging Affects the Transcriptional Regulation of Human Skeletal Muscle Disuse Atrophy
19 Dec 2012
Abstract excerpt
Important insights concerning the molecular basis of skeletal muscle disuse-atrophy and aging related muscle loss have been obtained in cell culture and animal models, but these regulatory signaling pathways have not previously been studied in aging human muscle. In the present study, muscle atrophy was induced by immobilization in healthy old and young individuals to study the time-course and transcriptional...
