Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence-Based Recommendations for Optimal Dietary Protein Intake in Older People: A Position Paper From the PROT-AGE Study Group
Juergen M. Bauer,Gianni Biolo,Tommy Cederholm,Matteo Cesari,Alfonso J. Cruz-Jentoft,John E. Morley,Stuart M. Phillips,Cornel C. Sieber,Peter Stehle,Daniel Teta,Renuka Visvanathan,Elena Volpi,Yves Boirie +12 more
TL;DR: To help older people (>65 years) maintain and regain lean body mass and function, the PROT-AGE study group recommends average daily intake at least in the range of 1.2 g protein per kilogram of body weight per day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Essential amino acids are primarily responsible for the amino acid stimulation of muscle protein anabolism in healthy elderly adults
Elena Volpi,Hisamine Kobayashi,Melinda Sheffield-Moore,Bettina Mittendorfer,Bettina Mittendorfer,Robert R. Wolfe,Robert R. Wolfe +6 more
TL;DR: Essential amino acids are primarily responsible for the amino acid-induced stimulation of muscle protein anabolism in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brown Adipose Tissue Improves Whole-Body Glucose Homeostasis and Insulin Sensitivity in Humans
Maria Chondronikola,Elena Volpi,Elisabet Børsheim,Craig Porter,Craig Porter,Palam Annamalai,Sven Enerbäck,Martin E. Lidell,Manish Kumar Saraf,Manish Kumar Saraf,Sébastien M. Labbé,Nicholas M. Hurren,Nicholas M. Hurren,Christina Yfanti,Tony Chao,Clark R. Andersen,Clark R. Andersen,Fernando Cesani,Hal K. Hawkins,Labros S. Sidossis +19 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate a physiologically significant role of BAT in whole-body energy expenditure, glucose homeostasis, and insulin sensitivity in humans, and support the notion that BAT may function as an antidiabetic tissue in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance exercise increases AMPK activity and reduces 4E‐BP1 phosphorylation and protein synthesis in human skeletal muscle
Hans C. Dreyer,Hans C. Dreyer,Satoshi Fujita,Jerson G. Cadenas,David L. Chinkes,Elena Volpi,Blake B. Rasmussen,Blake B. Rasmussen +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that AMPK activation and a reduced phosphorylation of 4E‐BP1 may contribute to the inhibition of muscle protein synthesis during resistance exercise.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Response of Muscle Protein Anabolism to Combined Hyperaminoacidemia and Glucose-Induced Hyperinsulinemia Is Impaired in the Elderly
Elena Volpi,B. Mittendorfer,B. Mittendorfer,Blake B. Rasmussen,Robert R. Wolfe,Robert R. Wolfe +5 more
TL;DR: The response of muscle protein anabolism to hyperaminoacidemia with endogenous hyperinsulinemia is impaired in healthy elderly due to the unresponsiveness of protein synthesis.
