The activity of 5'-adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a negative regulator of cell size, is up-regulated with age in resting and overloaded fast-twitch skeletal muscle but not slow-twitch muscle. Here, we provide evidence to support the hypothesis that elevated AMPK activity plays a potentially important integrative role in the age-related atrophy and diminished capacity for growth specific to fast-twitch skeletal muscle.
5'-单磷酸腺苷(AMP)激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)是细胞大小的负调节因子,其活性在静息和超负荷的快肌骨骼肌中随年龄增长而上调,但在慢肌中并非如此。在此,我们提供证据支持以下假说:AMPK活性升高在与年龄相关的快肌骨骼肌萎缩以及特定的生长能力下降中发挥潜在的重要整合作用。
