Maintenance of musculoskeletal function in older adults is critically important for preserving cardiorespiratory function and health span. Aerobic endurance training (ET) improves skeletal muscle metabolic function including age-related declines in muscle mitochondrial function. To further understand the underlying mechanism of enhanced muscle function with ET, we profiled the gene transcriptio...

in this study which was carried out in 1974 in isphahan, 3,000 married women between the ages of 15 to 44 who were the residents of the city of isphahan and a similar group of women who were residents of the villages surrounding the city were interviewed. results indicate that the average and the median of age at the first marriage had been increasing steadily since 1959 for the city women and ...
