Age Related Changes in Muscle Mass and Force Generation in the Triple Transgenic (3xTgAD) Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease by Hongyang Xu, Shylesh Bhaskaran, Katarzyna M. Piekarz, Katarzyna M. Piekarz, Rojina Ranjit, Jan Bian, Parker Kneis, Aubrey Ellis, Suyesha Bhandari, Heather C. Rice, Holly Van Remmen, Holly Van Remmen, Holly Van Remmen

“…In older 3xTgAD mice, we observed a number of sarcopenia-related phenotypes, including significantly fragmented and denervated neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) associated with a 17% reduction in sciatic nerve induced vs. direct muscle stimulation induced contractile force production, and a 30% decrease in gastrocnemius muscle mass. On the contrary, none of these outcomes were found in young 3xTgAD mice. …”
