Exercise Switch Keeps Muscles Young
The study found that exercise can help restore this balance. Physical activity activates proteins that reduce DEAF1 levels, allowing ageing muscles to improve their ability to remove damaged proteins, rebuild effectively and maintain strength Exercise may hold the key to slowing age-related muscle decline, with scientists identifying a molecular switch that helps ageing muscles repair damage and maintain strength. A new study by researchers at Duke-NUS Medical School, in collaboration with Singapore General Hospital and Cardiff University, has revealed that physical activity can restore repair mechanisms that weaken as muscles age. The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy
