H. Lee, I.G. Kim, C. Sung, et al.Geriatr Gerontol Int. 2019;19(3):265-270 We investigated whether exercise-mediated acquisition of muscle mass and strength would occur in a concurrent manner in older adults. A total of 152 community-dwelling older adults (young-old aged 65-74 years, old-old aged >75 years) were allocated into either 8-week comprehensive exercise training or the control group. |
J. Dupont, L. Dedeyne, S. Dalle, et al.Aging Clin Exp Res. 2019 Feb 19. doi: 10.1007/s40520-019-01146-1. [Epub ahead of print] This narrative review provides an overview of the current knowledge about omega-3 PUFAs and their role in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia. We conclude that there is growing evidence for a beneficial effect of omega-3 PUFAs supplementation in sarcopenic older persons, which may add to the effect of exercise and/or protein supplementation. |
H. Neelakantan, C.R. Brightwell, T.G. Graber, et al.Biochem Pharmacol. 2019 Feb 9. pii: S0006-2952(19)30046-2. doi: 10.1016/j.bcp.2019.02.008. [Epub ahead of print] We recently developed small molecule inhibitors of nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), an enzyme overexpressed with aging in skeletal muscles and linked to impairment of the NAD+ salvage pathway, dysregulated sirtuin 1 activity, and increased muSC senescence. We hypothesized that NNMT inhibitor (NNMTi) treatment will rescue age-related deficits in muSC activity to promote superior regeneration post-injury in aging muscle. |
R.P.G. Hayhoe, M.A.H. Lentjes, A.A. Mulligan, et al.Clin Nutr.2019;38(1):317-323 This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary and circulating magnesium on skeletal muscle mass in a UK population of 14,340 middle to older-aged men and women participating in the EPIC-Norfolk cohort study. |
A. Santoro, G. Guidarelli, R. Ostan, et al.Eur Radiol. 2019 Feb 4. doi: 10.1007/s00330-018-5973-2. [Epub ahead of print] The aim of this work was to examine the cross-sectional relationship between body composition (BC) markers for adipose and lean tissue and bone mass, and a wide range of specific inflammatory and adipose-related markers in healthy elderly Europeans. |
Y. Liao, Z. Peng, L. Chen, et al.Aging Dis. 2019;10(1):157-173 Whey protein and/or resistance training has shown promise in preventing and treating age-related sarcopenia. Sex hormones could be potential contributors for gender differences in skeletal muscle and age-related sarcopenia. In addition, skeletal muscle and the development of sarcopenia are influenced by gut microbiota. |
