Lifelong dietary protein restriction induces denervation and skeletal muscle atrophy in mice

Abstract excerpt

As a widespread global issue, protein deficiency hinders development and optimal growth in offspring. Maternal low-protein diet influences the development of age-related diseases, including sarcopenia, by altering the epigenome and organ structure through potential increase in oxidative stress. However, the long-term effects of lactational protein restriction or postnatal lifelong protein restriction on the...
