Muscle wasting in aged, sarcopenic rats is associated with enhanced activity of the ubiquitin proteasome pathway.
Among the hallmarks of aged organisms are an accumulation of misfolded proteins and a reduction in skeletal muscle mass ("sarcopenia"). We have examined the effects of aging and dietary restriction (which retards many age-related changes) on components of the ubiquitin proteasome system (U...
