Whole Body and Skeletal Muscle Energy Metabolism
Fish Oil Supplementation, Resting Energy Expenditure, Skeletal Muscle Membrane Composition and Metabolism in Elderly Subjects.
Resting metabolic rate (RMR) declines by 1-2% per decade after 20 years of age. This reduction is linked to a decrease in fat free mass (FFM) (10-20%) and the rate of energy expenditure of tissues (Manini 2010).
