Similarly, overnutrition, which is a major health problem in modern society, also causes metabolic dysfunction in skeletal muscle and predisposition to metabolic disease. It is now the prevailing view that both aging and overnutrition negatively impact skeletal muscle metabolic <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Homeostasis\">homeostasis<\/a> through deleterious effects on the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mitochondrion\">mitochondria<\/a>. Accordingly, interplay between the molecular pathways implicated in aging and overnutrition that induce mitochondrial dysfunction are apparent. Recent work from our laboratory has uncovered the stress-responsive <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mitogen-activated_protein_kinase\">mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase-1 (MKP-1)<\/a> as a new player in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis in skeletal muscle and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by overnutrition. These observations raise the intriguing possibility that MKP-1 may function as a common target in the convergence between sarcopenia and overnutrition in a pathophysiological pathway that leads to a loss of skeletal muscle mitochondrial function.\" Going the other way, you might recall that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\/view_news_item.cfm?news_\">calorie restriction helps to maintain muscle mass with age<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>View the Article Under Discussion: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.impactaging.com\/papers\/v2\/n3\/full\/100135.html\">http:\/\/www.impactaging.com\/papers\/v2\/n3\/full\/100135.html<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>Read More Longevity Meme Commentary: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\" \/>http:\/\/www.longevitymeme.org\/news\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper outlines the overlap between the ways in which both processes of aging and eating too much lead to the loss of muscle mass and strength: \"Sarcopenia, which is defined by the loss of skeletal muscle mass, predisposes skeletal &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/longevity-medicine\/sarcopenia-metabolic-syndrome-and-overnutrition.php\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"limit_modified_date":"","last_modified_date":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1246678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1043322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-longevity-medicine"],"modified_by":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043322"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1043322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1043322\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1043322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1043322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.euvolution.com\/futurist-transhuman-news-blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1043322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
