abstract

Sarcopenia – Brief Characteristics, Etiology and Possible Therapy Sarcopenia is considered to be a geriatric syndrome with multifactorial etiology: mitochondrial dysfunction, replication defects in mitochondrial DNA that lead deficit in energy production and muscle fibre atrophy, changes in protein synthesis, imbalance between protein degradation and the ability of muscle fibre to new proteins synthesis, changes in secretion and plasmatic levels of hormones (growth hormone, androgens, insulin etc.), metabolic syndrome or imbalance in antioxidant system and many more (Buford, et al., 2010). We are still far from being able to fully understand the causes and characteristics of sarcopenia as well as to solve this problem. However, an appropriate lifestyle (movement activity) and appropriate diets (energy restriction) seem to be the most effective therapeutic approaches (Morley, et al., 2010). Sarkopenie – stručná charakteristika, etiologie a možnosti terapie Sarkopenie je považována za geriatrický syndrom s multifaktoriální etiologií: mitochondriální dysfunkce, chyby replikace v mitochondriální DNA, které vedou k energetickému deficitu a atrofii svalových vláken, změny syntézy proteinů, nerovnováha mezi degradací proteinů a schopností svalového vlákna k syntéze nových proteinů, změny v sekreci a plazmatických hladinách hormonů (růstový hormon, androgeny, inzulín aj.), metabolický syndrom nebo nerovnováha v antioxidačním systému a mnoho dalších (Buford, a další, 2010). Jsme ještě daleko od úplného pochopení příčin a charakteristik sarkopenie i od řešení tohoto problému. Nicméně vhodný životní styl (pohybová aktivita) a vhodné diety (energetická restrikce) se zdají být nejúčinnější terapeutické přístupy (Morley, a další, 2010).
