Abstract:
:Sarcopenia-the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength-is a major public health issue. Sarcopenia is associated with an increased risk of falls, disability, dependency, institutionalization, hospital stay and early death. Finding interventions to stabilize, reverse or prevent sarcopenia is therefore a key goal for clinical ageing research. If patients are to eventually benefit from discovery science on ageing skeletal muscle, we need to build a translational pipeline that facilitates progress from laboratory science and epidemiology, through feasibility testing to early-phase, and eventually late-phase clinical trials. A number of barriers need to be overcome to make this pipeline work-in particular challenges around identifying people with sarcopenia in routine clinical practice, ensuring that we study patients with clearly defined sarcopenia rather than related conditions such as functional impairment, developing capacity to run trials for older people, and selecting trial outcomes of relevance to older people with multimorbidity. A further key point is that interventions should ideally have pleiotropic actions-i.e. beneficial actions across multiple organ systems, rather than treating sarcopenia alone. Such pleiotropic interventions may be the only way to avoid the perils of polypharmacy and drug interactions that bedevil care for many older people. Maximising the potential for scientific discoveries in the biology of ageing muscle to improve health requires that discovery scientists, translational clinical scientists and clinicians come together to exchange findings and shape each others ideas within a shared culture.

BIOGERONTOLOGY文献大全abstract::The predominant molecular symptom of ageing is the accumulation of altered gene products. Nutritional studies show that ageing in animals can be significantly influenced by dietary restriction. Genetics has revealed that ageing may be controlled by changes in intracellular NAD/NADH ratio regulating sirtuin activity. P...
