Abstract:
Musculoskeletal disuse negatively impacts muscle mass and physiological functioning. Mechanistically, disuse-induced alterations in muscle mass are underpinned by alterations in myofibrillar protein turnover. However, the implications of disuse on mitochondrial functioning remains to be fully eluded. Accordingly, Chapter 2 explored whether a 7d period of reduced ambulation (
