Understanding Muscle Protein Dynamics: Technical Considerations for Advancing Sarcopenia Research

Abstract: Sarcopenia, the age-related degenerative loss of muscle mass and function, is considered a muscle disease (i.e., muscle failure) 1) and is central to functional and metabolic alterations in various clinical conditions such as critical illness (e.g., burn injury and cancer), chronic diseases (e.g., heart failure), insulin resistance, obesity, and osteoporosis. 2) Therefore, discovering effective therapeutic means to counteract sarcopenia progression is of utmost importance to improve the quality of life in olde… Show more

“…Dynamic information on the metabolic status of substrates including glucose, lipids, amino acids/proteins in organisms (i.e., metabolic flux or kinetics) in vivo and in vitro can be best explored with the introduction of one or more of molecules that are labeled with either a stable or radioactive isotope (i.e., metabolic tracer) into the circulation in the body [ 11 , 15 , 16 , 26 28 ]. Here our emphasis will be placed on the applications of stable isotope tracer methodology owing mainly to (1) safety issues, particularly for humans and (2) the versatility of stable isotope tracers in assessing various aspects of metabolism [ 7 , 15 , 16 , 29 35 ].…”

“…In other words, the faster the tracee turnover, the lower the E p for a given F . The tracer dilution model can be applicable to assessments of in vivo kinetics of various metabolites including amino acids [ 26 , 44 46 ], palmitate [ 6 , 47 , 48 ], glycerol [ 49 51 ], pyruvate [ 52 ], lactate [ 53 55 ] as well as glucose [ 8 , 11 , 56 , 57 ] in steady states and non-steady states.…”

“…However, when muscle becomes resistant to these stimuli this is termed anabolic resistance (AR). AR is a phenomenon defined by the diminished ability to increase the rate of protein synthesis and adapt to anabolic stimulation [ 17 , 18 ]. AR is often observed in aged muscle and is probably a crucial driver of sarcopenia and physical frailty [ 19 , 20 ].…”

“…AR, as described above, is defined by a diminished muscle protein synthetic rate following anabolic stimulation such as amino acids, muscle contraction, or anabolic hormones and is often observed with aging [ 17 , 18 , 20 , 97 , 98 ]. Thus theoretically, overcoming AR by supplementing with anabolic stimulants like essential amino acids (EAA) and resistance exercise are recommended avenues to combat sarcopenia [ 99 , 100 ].…”
