| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Senescence-Accelerated Mouse Prone 1 (SAMP 1) were raised until 50 weeks of age, divided into exercise and non-exercise group, and were sacrificed 8 weeks later (58 weeks old) and muscle pathological examination was performed. Expression of autophagy related factors such as LC3, p62 was increased in exercise group. There was no significant difference in muscle weight between the two groups. For prevention of sarcopenia, it seems necessary to exercise from younger age. In muscle pathology of the gluteus medius of the elderly woman who had a femoral proximal fracture due to fall, in 2 cases in which type 2 muscle fiber atrophy was markedly observed, upregulation of LC3, rimmed vacuoles, and increased lysosomal activity were observed. It is suggested that sarcopenia and autophagy abnormality are related.
