Bone Protein Can Rejuvenate Muscle Function
Like 0 Dislike 0 Published on 15 Jun 2016
A protein produced by the bones can rejuvenate the function of muscle. Researchers made the discovery from experiments with mice, suggesting new ways to increase the amount of exercise people get as they age -- which may help keep them more healthy. Research with mice suggests increasing levels of the protein osteocalcin, a hormone made by bones, could increase the capacity of older people's muscles to tolerate exercise -- which could help improve the overall health of people as they age. Researchers at Columbia University report old mice injected with the protein osteocalcin, which is produced by bones, could run as far as their younger counterparts in experiments. It's an effect that appears to be the same in humans.
