[HTML][HTML] Muscle mitochondrial changes with aging and exercise
Aging has been reported to be accompanied by reduced mitochondrial function and insulin
sensitivity. Whether these deleterious effects result from chronological age or lifestyle-
related factors such as adiposity and physical inactivity remains debatable. The beneficial
effects of exercise on mitochondrial function and insulin sensitivity are well documented;
however, it is unclear whether exercise can effectively prevent, reverse, or delay the onset of
these age-related dysfunctions. Other investigators and we have found that endurance …
