Abstract | [Extract] The age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and strength, termed sarcopenia, is accompanied by impairments in functional capacity and an increased risk of developing chronic metabolic diseases (4). Whereas basal muscle protein synthesis and breakdown rates appear to be unaffected by age (27), the muscle protein synthetic response to the main anabolic stimuli, namely food intake and physical activity, seem to be blunted in older individuals (41). This anabolic resistance is now considered as a central factor contributing to the progression of sarcopenia. |
