Resistance training partially restores age-related differences in skeletal muscle amino acid transporters - secondary analysis from two randomized controlled trials
Resistance training with protein supplementation improved muscle mass and strength and modified AAT profiles. Age was associated with higher membrane LAT1 and SNAT9, while training attenuated some age-related differences and produced distinct effects on LAT3 and CD98 by age. Exercise may partially counteract age-related alterations in muscle AA transport, with implications for muscle health in aging.
