Animal model reveals effects of protein and fat deficiency on muscle mass and function, suggesting nutritional strategies for sarcopenia prevention.
An animal model of diet-induced reduction in muscle mass and strength was established, which will be useful for investigating the effects of protein and fat deficiency on skeletal muscle. Elucidating the detailed molecular pathways involved remains an important goal for future research and may provide new insights into nutritional approaches to prevent or treat sarcopenia.
