Outline of Final Research Achievements

It is still unclear that physical exercise is associated with a longer life span. Physical-exercise-associated intracellular and extracellular stimuli are diverse. Since physiological and anatomical systems of human body have a potential to adapt to these various stimuli, a sensory system in individual cells remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a longevity gene, so-called surtuin (SIRT), plays a role in skeletal muscle plasticity in response to exercise-associated stimuli using experimental animals and cell culture systems. Evidences of this study suggest that SIRT itself may not have a direct role in the adaptation of skeletal muscle in response to exercise stimuli.
