Public defence of doctoral thesis | Aging muscle and anabolic resistance: from whole muscle to the single fiber level by Oscar Horwath, Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences...
This thesis examined how anabolic cues impact MPS, mTORC1 signaling, and markers of protein degradation in young and older men. Emphasis was on performing analyses on whole muscle samples and in type I and type II fibers separately. Further aims were to investigate features of muscle fibers in young and older men, focusing on morphology, satellite cells, capillarization, and denervation-reinnervation cycles. The final aim was to develop a valid and fast method for fiber type identification of isolated fibers.
