Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a fundamental cause of
frailty, functional decline and disability. In the year 2000, $18.5 billion in health care costs …

Muscle senescence is a complex mechanism that is usually associated with a decrease in
mass, strength and velocity of contraction. This state, known as sarcopenia, is a multifactorial …

The effect of exercise on apoptosis in postmitotic tissues is not known. In this study, we
investigated the effect of regular moderate physical activity (ie, exercise training) on the …

Dietary selenium (Se) deficiency causes muscular dystrophy in various species, but the
