Interplay Between mTORC1 Signaling and Iron Homeostasis in Muscle Atrophy.

The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) plays an important role in maintaining skeletal muscle homeostasis by regulating cell growth, protein degradation, and nutrient sensing. Beyond its role in muscle growth and atrophy, recent findings suggest that mTORC1 also...

Skeletal Muscle PGC-1ฮฑ Remodels Mitochondrial Phospholipidome but Does Not Alter Energy Efficiency for ATP Synthesis.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b></p><p>The coupling of oxygen consumption to ATP synthesis via oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is central for cellular energy homeostasis. Some studies suggest exercise training increases the efficiency of ATP synthesis, but the molecular mechanisms are unclear. We have previously shown that...

Altered Relaxation and Mitochondria-Endoplasmic Reticulum Contacts Precede Major (Mal)Adaptations in Aging Skeletal Muscle and Are Prevented by Exercise.

Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle dysfunction, contributes to morbidity and mortality. Besides decreases in muscle force, sarcopenia is associated with atrophy and fast-to-slow fiber type switching, which is typically secondary to denervation in humans and rodents. However, very little is known...

Impact of physical activity on physical function, mitochondrial energetics, ROS production, and Ca handling across the adult lifespan in men.

Aging-related muscle atrophy and weakness contribute to loss of mobility, falls, and disability. Mitochondrial dysfunction is widely considered a key contributing mechanism to muscle aging. However, mounting evidence positions physical activity as a confounding factor, making unclear whether muscle mitochondria...
