Effects of age and unaccustomed resistance exercise on mitochondrial transcript and protein abundance in skeletal muscle of men
19 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to age-associated muscle atrophy. Previous data has shown that resistance exercise (RE) increases mitochondrial gene expression and enzyme activity in older adults; however, the acute response to RE has not been well characterized. To characterize the acute mitochondrial response to unaccustomed RE, healthy young (21 ± 3 yr) and older (70 ± 4 yr) men performed a unilateral...
