Resistance Exercise Reverses Aging in Human Skeletal Muscle Human aging is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and functional impairment (sarcopenia). Multiple lines of evidence suggest that mitochondrial dysfunction is a major contributor to sarcopenia. We evaluated whether healthy aging was associated with a transcriptional profile reflecting mitochond...

Sleep loss matters! Insulin resistance and unhealthy gut microbiome changes with minimal sleep loss

The new article is published in the journal Molecular Metabolism.
