Plasma levels of adrenaline, noradrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol in sarcopenia: comparison with non-sarcopenic individuals and the impact of resistance exercise and nutrition interventions
Sarcopenic patients exhibit lower serotonin, adrenaline, and noradrenaline compared to non-sarcopenic controls, with no significant difference in cortisol levels. Resistance exercise and nutritional interventions increased noradrenaline in sarcopenic individuals. Further studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects on neurotransmitter and hormone levels.
