Mitochondria in Skeletal Muscle: Adaptable Rheostats of Apoptotic Susceptibility. - September 17, 2008

This paper reviews the evidence that mitochondrially-mediated apoptosis in skeletal muscle contributes to muscle atrophydysfunction, and that exercise may represent a therapeutic intervention to reduce muscle apoptotic susceptibility.Page: 116DOI: 10.1097JES.0b013e31817be7b7Authors: Adhihetty, Peter J. 1; O'Leary, Michael F.N. 3; Hood, David A. 2,3
