- Role of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mitochondrial Oxidative Capacity in Reduced Walk Speed of Older Adults with Diabetesby Sofhia V Ramos on March 29, 2024 at 10:00 am
Cardiorespiratory fitness and mitochondrial oxidative capacity are associated with reduced walking speed in older adults. The impact of cardiorespiratory fitness and mitochondrial oxidative capacity on walking speed in older adults with diabetes has not been clearly defined. We examined differences in cardiorespiratory fitness and skeletal muscle mitochondrial oxidative capacity between older adults with and without diabetes as well as determine their relative contribution to slower walking...

- Associations of Skeletal Muscle Mass, Muscle Fat Infiltration, Mitochondrial Energetics, and Cardiorespiratory Fitness With Liver Fat Among Older Adultsby Daria Igudesman on February 17, 2024 at 11:00 am
CONCLUSIONS: Skeletal muscle-related characteristics are metabolically relevant factors linked to liver fat in older adults. Future research should confirm our results to determine whether trials targeting mechanisms common to liver and muscle fat accumulation are warranted.
- Lung Epithelium Releases Growth Differentiation Factor 15 in Response to Pathogen-mediated Injuryby Faraaz A Shah on February 1, 2024 at 11:00 am
Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) is a stress cytokine with several proposed roles including support of stress erythropoiesis. Higher circulating GDF15 levels are prognostic of mortality during acute respiratory distress syndrome, but the cellular sources and downstream effects of GDF15 during pathogen-mediated lung injury are unclear. We quantified GDF15 in lower respiratory tract biospecimens and plasma from patients with acute respiratory failure. Publicly available data from...
- Role of Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Mitochondrial Energetics in Reduced Walk Speed of Older Adults with Diabetes in the Study of Muscle, Mobility and Aging (SOMMA)by Sofhia V Ramos on November 21, 2023 at 11:00 am
CONCLUSIONS: Skeletal muscle mitochondrial energetics and cardiorespiratory fitness contribute to slower walking speeds in older adults with diabetes. Cardiorespiratory fitness and mitochondrial energetics may be therapeutic targets to maintain or improve mobility in older adults with diabetes.
