An Age-Related Morphometric Profile of Skeletal Muscle in Healthy Untrained Women
There is a paucity of data on muscle biopsies in females of mixed ages in terms of age-related changes. Cross sections of autopsy material including the quadriceps femoris and biceps brachii muscles were obtained from 23 healthy women, aged 24-82 years, who had suffered sudden death. We calculated the percentage of the number, and the mean diameter, of type I and type II muscle fibers within th...
متن کاملAge-related skeletal muscle atrophy in humans: an immunohistochemical and morphometric study.
The aim of this study was to determine age-related changes in three human muscles with different function and location in the body. The cross sectional area and the percentage of fibers type I, type IIA and type IIX were studied in vastus lateralis, deltoideus and external intercostal muscle. Muscle samples were obtained from 30 male subjects, aged 20-80 years. Fiber types were defined immunohi...
متن کاملAge-related morphometric characteristics of human skeletal muscle in male subjects.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the present study is to investigate the age-related changes in muscle biopsies from the quadriceps femoris in male subjects of different ages. METHODS A histological and histochemical study was performed on specimens from the quadriceps femoris from 8 males divided into two groups, under 50 and over 70 years of age. The following measurements were performed: a) number...
متن کاملFatty acid profile of skeletal muscle phospholipids in trained and untrained young men.
Endurance trained (n = 14) and untrained young men (n = 15) were compared regarding the fatty acid profile of the vastus lateralis muscle after 8 wk on diets with a similar fatty acid composition. The skeletal muscle phospholipids in the trained group contained lower proportions of palmitic acid (16:0) (-12.4%, P < 0.001) and di-homo-gamma-linolenic acid [20:3(n-6)] (-15.3%, P = 0.018), a lower...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in GDNF Content of Skeletal Muscle
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a very potent neurotrophic factor that promotes the maintenance and survival of peripheral motor neurons and is expressed in skeletal muscle. Progressive loss of motor neurons occurs with aging, and over time this degeneration elicits devastating consequences on the physical performance and quality of life of the elderly. One possible explan...
