Exercise enhances mitochondrial fission and mitophagy to improve myopathy following critical limb ischemia in elderly mice via the PGC1a/FNDC5/irisin pathway
15 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elderly populations are susceptible to critical limb ischemia (CLI), but conventional treatments cannot significantly decrease amputation and mortality. Although exercise is an effective "non-pharmacological medicine" targeting mitochondria to improve skeletal muscle function, few studies have focused on the application of exercise in CLI. METHODS: Elderly male C57BL/6 mice (14 months old) were used...
