| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Sarcopenia model mice produced by our own method showed significantly lowering of the weight of the lower limbs as compared with the control mice.Significant atrophy was observed macroscopically and microscopically in the lower limb muscle.Subsequently, limb ischemia was added to sarcopenia model mice and control mice.Blood flow evaluation by laser Doppler was performed for each mouse.As a result, there was a significant decrease in blood flow in the sarcopenia model mice as compared with the control mice.The mechanism of blood flow reduction in sarcopenia model mice is unknown, and further examination is required.
