Journal ArticleDOI
Skeletal muscle amino acid transporter expression is increased in young and older adults following resistance exercise
Micah J. Drummond,Christopher S. Fry,Erin L. Glynn,Kyle L. Timmerman,Jared M. Dickinson,Dillon K. Walker,David M. Gundermann,Elena Volpi,Blake B. Rasmussen +8 more
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
Micah J. Drummond,Mitsunori Miyazaki,Hans C. Dreyer,Bart Pennings,Shaheen Dhanani,Elena Volpi,Karyn A. Esser,Blake B. Rasmussen +7 more
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

Baker,Chad Boult,Rosaly Correa-de-Araujo,Peter Peduzzi +48 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondrial respiratory capacity and coupling control decline with age in human skeletal muscle
Craig Porter,Nicholas M. Hurren,Matthew Cotter,Nisha Bhattarai,Nisha Bhattarai,Paul T. Reidy,Edgar L. Dillon,William J. Durham,Demidmaa Tuvdendorj,Melinda Sheffield-Moore,Elena Volpi,Labros S. Sidossis,Blake B. Rasmussen,Elisabet Børsheim,Elisabet Børsheim +14 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiratory capacity and coupling control decline with age, which result in a reduced capacity for ATP production in skeletal muscle of older adults.
