Human Skeletal Muscle Aging and the Oxidative System: Cellular Events

Abstract: As we age, the aerobic and functional capacities of our major physiological systems progressively decline. In the case of the neuromuscular system, reductions in strength and mobility cause a deterioration in motor performance and in turn a greater tendency to fall (with increased risk of fractures), impaired mobility, disability and loss of independence in the elderly. Given the increase in our life expectancy and the consequent growth in the elderly population, these conditions will have an increasing impact… Show more

“…Oxidative stress and hypoxia are known to occur in a variety of tissues during aging (4,12,13,47,56,58,65,67), although current studies have not defined whether these events occur in subcutaneous and visceral fat depots during aging. Both oxidative stress and hypoxia are known to occur in adipose tissue in response to diet-induced obesity as well as in genetic models of obesity (53,62,63,70,72).…”

“…After the age of 50, humans lose muscle mass at a rate of 1-2% per year [Hughes et al, 2002] which impacts on muscle strength, size, activation [Morse et al, 2005], and metabolic performance [Renault et al, 2002;Rossi et al, 2008]. Indeed more than 50% of the population over 80 years suffer from sarcopenia, which is becoming recognized as a serious geriatric clinical disorder [Cruz-Jentoft et al, 2010].…”
