After you turn 40 or so, your muscle strength and function start to decline, even if you exercise regularly. A new study by University of Guelph researchers suggests why it happens and may point to ways to stem the losses. Published today in the journal Cell Reports, the study examined cellular mechanisms in aging muscles. It shows how adenosine diphosphate (ADP), a compound that helps cells store and release energy, plays an important role in mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses. When ADP is metabolized in mitochondria, it stimulates cellular respiration and decreases the amount of reactive oxidative species (ROS). Higher ROS levels are linked to damage in components of the cell, a process called oxidative stress; however, previous studies of aging in human muscle have not included ADP. “But biologically, we always have ADP in the system. We started to think that maybe how we get ADP into the mitochondria is important for aging.” The researchers compared mitochondrial function in muscle fibres taken from healthy men in their 20s and in their early 70s. “The magnitude of change was quite striking to us. For humans, it’s remarkable to have such a big difference.” The group also looked at the effects of resistance training, including leg presses and upper body exercises, on older men. After 12 weeks, researchers saw no improvements in cellular stress related to aging. “This doesn’t mean there’s no hope for building strength in aging muscle,” Holloway said. “I actually think that endurance training would be potentially beneficial because we know with that kind of training you get increases in mitochondrial content.” Endurance training includes aerobic exercise like cycling and swimming. “We plan to look at other types of exercise, to see if it can improve the dynamic response of mitochondria to ADP,” he added. The investigators also plan to look at exercise in aging women. Early research in healthy young people indicates differences in ADP between men and women. The study was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and Top Institute Food and Nutrition, a public-private research partnership in the Netherlands studying food and nutrition.

What are the 3 C's in a healthy relationship?

A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C's: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated.

February may be the month of love, but it takes more than chocolates, flowers and dinner dates to make a relationship work. A strong and healthy relationship is built on the three C’s: Communication, Compromise and Commitment. Whether starting a new relationship or celebrating decades of marriage, here is a refresher course in the three C’s:

Communication

Think about how to use communication to make your partner feel needed, desired and appreciated. Communication is verbal and non-verbal, so actions speak volumes, and remember that listening is a major component of healthy communication. It’s not always what is said, but how it is said, that’s important. If a couple communicates with aggression, the silent treatment or abusive language or actions, it signals concerns that might best be addressed by a professional.

Compromise

Two people in a relationship bring individual experiences, thoughts, behaviors and personalities to the table. Finding common ground means expressing opinions, understanding and accepting differences and agreeing on compromise. If both people feel heard and understood, it helps prevent one person from feeling like they’re giving in, which can build resentment over time.

Commitment

Commitment means putting each other and the relationship first. This requires a lot of giving, and certainly some sacrifice, but the payoff is a relationship that brings true joy and fulfillment to each other’s lives. Knowing that each person is committed to working through challenges and growing together builds trust and intimacy, and helps release the fears and doubts that hold couples back. Relationships can be challenging, and can take a toll on mental, emotional and physical health, mood, or even focus at work.
