Skeletal muscle amino acid transporter expression is increased in young and older adults following resistance exercise

TL;DR: An increase in amino acid transporter expression may contribute to enhanced amino acid sensitivity following exercise in young and older adults, and a combination of mTORC1, activating transcription factor 4, eukaryotic initiation factor 2 α-subunit, and STAT3 is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex Hormones and Novel Corona Virus Infectious Disease (COVID-19).

TL;DR: The possible anti-inflammatory effects of estrogen and testosterone and the anabolic effect of testosterone are explored, with particular attention to the potential therapeutic role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in older men and women with COVID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of growth-related genes in young and older human skeletal muscle following an acute stimulation of protein synthesis

TL;DR: It is concluded that several anabolic genes in muscle are more responsive in young men post RE+EAA, providing new insights into the regulation of genes important for transcription and translation in young and old human skeletal muscle post RE-EAA.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Randomized Trial of a Multifactorial Strategy to Prevent Serious Fall Injuries

TL;DR: A multifactorial intervention, administered by nurses, did not result in a significantly lower rate of a first adjudicated serious fall injury than enhanced usual care.
