Glycolytic fast‐twitch muscle fiber restoration counters adverse age‐related changes in body composition and metabolism
23 Aug 2013
Abstract excerpt
Aging is associated with the development of insulin resistance, increased adiposity, and accumulation of ectopic lipid deposits in tissues and organs. Starting in mid-life there is a progressive decline in lean muscle mass associated with the preferential loss of glycolytic, fast-twitch myofibers. However, it is not known to what extent muscle loss and metabolic dysfunction are causally related or whether they...
