Early overfeeding speeds muscle loss and shortens life in mice

Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.Overfeeding young mice damaged gut microbes, impaired muscle cell energy production, and worsened age-related muscle wasting in later life.

DNA damage differed by sex in mice with impaired DNA repair

Experiments in mice with impaired DNA repair identified a female-specific metabolic pathway; a dietary supplement restored muscle force and metabolic profiles in females.Experiments in mice with impaired DNA repair identified a female-specific metabolic pathway; a dietary supplement restored muscle force and metabolic profiles in females.

Intramuscular fat links to spinal muscle loss and weakness

People with intramuscular fat fractions above 10% showed significantly lower paraspinal muscle mass and strength than those with levels below 5%.People with intramuscular fat fractions above 10% showed significantly lower paraspinal muscle mass and strength than those with levels below 5%.
