Is the magic in the muscle? Targeting skeletal muscle to improve cardiometabolic function in ageing

The Butcher Lab investigates the interplay of muscle mass and skeletal muscle on cardiovascular disease, obesity and ageing.

Dr Joshua T Butcher and his team from the Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine, USA, investigate the similarities between the co-morbidities associated with obesity and ageing, and specifically how skeletal muscle mass and function can be used to uncouple diseases from accompanying pathology. While we all know that exercise is beneficial for weight loss, an important underlying benefit […]
