Healthy but Sedentary Individuals Show Early Decline in Cellular Energy Production
- Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have found that healthy yet sedentary individuals show a significant, coordinated drop in muscle mitochondrial function that may precede the development of major diseases like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.
- “Mitochondrial function is the center of metabolic health,” said the study’s senior author Iñigo San Millan, adjoint assistant professor in the Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes at CU Anschutz.
- “If you are 40, healthy and sedentary, it is likely that you already have something going on inside your cells that will likely
