Tarek Pukat, muscle strength will be weakened with age. But the new research found there a way to overcome that with green fruits.The study, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, University of Iowa, says that there are compounds in apple green and green tomatoes that could potentially be supplements and medicines to address otot.Pelemahan muscle weakness or muscle atrophy can be called also referred to as the biggest problem for the elderly because it can interfere with quality of life. Physical stamina is weakened and lost will ultimately limit physical activity.
One researcher, Christopher Adams, MD, PhD, said Ursolic acid in the skin of apples and compounds in the skin tomatidine green tomatoes can prevent the loss of muscle power by turning off proteins that are problematic ATF4.
Protein ATF4 reported as proteins that alter the formation of a gene that makes an individual muscle strength in old people is shrinking. Researchers believe that by turning off ATF4, the process of muscle atrophy associated with aging may be terminated.
Tests on laboratory mice showed that old mice with muscular atrophy who fed Ursolic acid and tomatidine for two months had a 10 percent muscle mass more than unsupplemented rats. Besides the quality or strength of the muscles of mice was also reported 30 percent better.
"From these results, Ursolic acid and tomatidine seem to have a lot of potential to be a tool against muscle weakness and atrophy during aging," said Adams, as quoted from the official website of the university, now.uiowa.edu, on Thursday (167/9/2015).
According to WebMD, the muscles continue to grow larger and stronger until about age 30, and will decrease muscle strength as much as 3 to 5 percent every 10 years. After age 75, shrinkage tends to be more cepat.Peneliti plans to conduct research to human trials, which are expected to potentially lead to the creation of supplements or drugs to strengthen the muscles.
