Sarcopenia
Dietary Strategies to Promote Muscle Protein Anabolism in the Elderly
Aging is associated with the loss of lean muscle mass, termed sarcopenia. Food intake and in particular the ingestion of protein or amino acids has been shown to be a powerful stimulus to promote net muscle protein anabolism.
