| Summary |
Understanding muscle adaptation and repair is vital for preserving muscle loss with aging. Analysis of the inflammatory-responsive signalling pathway, JAK/STAT was performed. After intense exercise, the STAT3 pathway is highly activated, potentially by the pro-inflammatory regulator IL-6. This pathway is suppressed in older individuals, possible leading to altered inflammatory regulation |
