Plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor concentrations are elevated in community-dwelling adults with sarcopenia.

The scalability of a blood-based sarcopenia assessment has generated interest in circulating markers that may enhance management strategies. Data regarding the relevance of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a regulator of neuroplasticity, to sarcopenia in community-dwelling adults are scarce. We...

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...
