Abstract

Sarcopenia is the loss of muscle mass and strength which occurs with aging. Whether the molecular basis of sarcopenia differs with muscle type and across sex is not well understood. Here we examine how aging affects the regulation of protein kinase B (Akt), the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), AMP activated kinase (AMPK), p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (p70s6k), S6 ribosomal protein (rps6) and calcineurin (CaN) in the slow soleus and fast extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of 6- (adult), 30- (aged), and 36-month (very aged) male and 6- (adult), 26- (aged), and 30-month (very aged) female Fischer 344xBrown Norway (F344BN) rats. In male animals, soleus and EDL muscle to body weight ratios decreased steadily with age while in the females, losses remained unchanged after 26 months. These age-related changes in the degree of muscle atrophy across sex were associated with differences in the regulation of Akt, mTOR, and p70s6k in the slow-twitch soleus and the regulation of AMPK, 4EBP1, p70s6k and rpS6 in the fast-twitch EDL. Irrespective of muscle type, aging in both the genders was associated with increased calcineurin expression. Taken together, these data suggest that indices of protein synthesis and muscle adaptation are regulated differently with aging in different muscle types and sex.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
