Skeletal muscle aging and related diseases are characterized by progressive loss of muscle mass, strength, and metabolic function. Central to these processes is mitochondrial dysfunction, which impairs energy metabolism, redox homeostasis, and proteostasis. In addition, non-mitochondrial factors such as muscle stem cell exhaustion, neuromuscular junction remodeling, and chronic inflammation also contribute significantly to muscle degeneration.…

Musculoskeletal health is directly linked to independence and longevity, but disease and aging impairs muscle mass and health. Complete repair after a pathological or physiological muscle injury is critical for maintaining muscle function, yet muscle repair is compromised after disuse, or in conditions such as metabolic diseases, cancer, and aging. Regeneration of damaged tissue is…
Efficacy of obesity treatments varies between individuals, highlighting the presence of responders and non-responders. Whilst exercise alone or exercise combined with diet leads to underwhelming weight loss for most, there exist super responders losing significant weight. Furthermore, in response to weight loss, the majority but not all patients tend to regain weight. Within the biopsychosocial…
The skeletal muscle is a highly plastic tissue that shows a remarkable adaptive capacity in response to acute and resistance exercise, and modifies its composition to adapt to use and disuse, a process referred to as muscle plasticity. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), a class of evolutionarily conserved molecular chaperones, have been implicated in the regulation…
Strenuous exercise involving eccentric muscle actions induces skeletal muscle damage resulting in delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Antioxidant supplementation, such as astaxanthin (AX), may alleviate muscle injury following intense exercise. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a four-week course of AX supplementation at 12 mg/day−1 on subjective markers of DOMS,…
